APi Group Corporation

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the API's Group Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results Conference Call. All participants are now in a listen-only mode. Later, you will have an opportunity to ask a question during the question-and-answer session. Please note, this call may be recorded. I will be standing by should you need any assistance. I will now turn the call over to Olivia Walton, Vice President of Investor Relations at API Group. Please go ahead.

Thank you. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining our third quarter 2020 earnings conference call. Joining me on the call today are Sir Martin Franklin and Jim Lilly, our board co-chairs, Russ Becker, our president and CEO, and Tom Lydon, our chief financial officer. Before we begin, I would like to remind you that certain statements in the company's earnings press release announcement, and on this call are forward-looking statements, which are based on expectations, intentions, and projections regarding the company's future performance, anticipated events or trends, and other matters that are not historical facts. These statements are not a guarantee of future performance and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In our press release and filings with the SEC, we detail material risks that may cause our future results to differ from our expectations. Our statements are as of today, November 11th, and we have no obligation to update any forward-looking statement we may make. As a reminder, we have posted a presentation detailing our third quarter 2020 financial performance on our website. Our comments today will also include non-GAAP financial measures and other key operating metrics. The reconciliation of and other information regarding these items can be found in our press release and our presentation. It is now my pleasure to turn the call over to Martin.

Thank you, Olivia. We're very pleased with our third quarter results, as well as the progress we've made during our first year as a public company. As I said before, we had not expected to be stress tested this quickly. We believe that our results support the investment thesis we had when we first met Russ and the team. The culture and priorities of the company stand out during difficult times, and we are proud of how everyone within the company has persevered as we navigate the COVID-19 environment surrounding us. We remain focused on our goal of building upon API's proven track record of organic growth within its niche business services markets, complemented with disciplined and accretive M&A. We're excited about our recently announced acquisitions. These businesses are highly complementary and help expand our geographical reach in the important U.S. market and establish a beachhead for expansion on the continent in Europe. With that, I'll hand over the call to Russ.
