Global Industrial Company

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Global Industrial's Fourth Quarter 2024 Earnings Conference Call. As a reminder, this event is being recorded. At this time, I would like to turn the call over to Mike Smarjasi of the Plunkett Group. Please go ahead.

Thank you, and welcome to the Global Industrial Fourth Quarter 2024 Earnings Call. Today's call will include formal remarks from Richard Leeds, Executive Chairman, Anissa Chaibey, Chief Executive Officer, and Tex Clark, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Formal remarks will be followed by a question and answer session. Today's discussion may include certain forward-looking statements. It should be understood that actual results could differ materially from those projected due to a number of factors, including those described under the forward-looking statements caption and other risk factors in the company's annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. The press release is available on the company's website, and it's been filed with the SEC on a Form 8-K. This call is the property of Global Industrial Company. I will now turn the call over to Richard.

Thanks, Mike. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us. I would like to start today's call by welcoming Anisa Chaibi, who has recently joined Global Industrial as our new CEO. Anissa is a proven executive with extensive experience in B2B and industrial distribution businesses. She brings a growth-driven mindset and a strong background in marketing and e-commerce. Anissa is an ideal fit with Global Industrial's entrepreneurial spirit and can-do culture. As I stepped back into the CEO role the past several months, it provided me with the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of where our company fits in today's competitive landscape. My recent time as CEO has only strengthened my belief in our long-term outlook, and more importantly, my confidence in the management team and associates at Global Industrial make it all happen. These insights helped shape our CEO search, and I'm confident that Anissa is the right person to improve our performance and drive our future success. Anissa?
