AutoZone, Inc.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to AutoZone's 2023 First Quarter Earnings Release Conference Call. At this time, all participants have been placed on a listen-only mode, and the floor will be open for questions and comments after the presentation. Before we begin, the company would like to read forward-looking statements.

Before we begin, please note that today's call includes forward-looking statements that are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Please refer to this morning's press release and the company's most recent annual report on Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a discussion of important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made, and the company undertakes no obligations to update such statements. Today's call will also include certain non-GAAP measures. Your reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP financial measures can be found in our press release.

It is now my pleasure to turn the floor over to Mr. Bill Rhodes, Chairman, President, and CEO of AutoZone. Bill, the floor is yours.
