Lithia Motors, Inc.

Greetings and welcome to Lithia Motors' first quarter 2024 earnings conference call. At this time, all participants are on a listen-only mode. A question and answer session will follow the formal presentation. If anyone should require operator assistance during the conference, please press star zero on your telephone keypad. As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. I would now like to turn the conference over to your host, Amit Marwaha.

Thank you. You may begin. Thank you for joining us for our first quarter earnings call.

With me today are Brian DeBoer, President and CEO, Chris Holshue, Executive Vice President and COO, Tina Miller, Senior Vice President and CFO, Chuck Leitz, Senior Vice President of Driveway Finance, and finally, Adam Chamberlain, Chief Customer Officer. Today's discussion may include statements about future events, financial projections, and expectations about the company's products, markets, and growth. Such statements are forward looking and subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to materially differ from the statements made. We disclose those risks and uncertainties we deem to be material in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We urge you to carefully consider these disclosures and not to place undue reliance on forward looking statements. We undertake no duty to update any forward looking statements which are made as of the date of this release. Our results discussed today include references to non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to the text of today's press release for reconciliation of comparable GAAP measures. We have also posted an updated investor presentation on our website, investors.lithiadriveway.com, highlighting our first quarter results. With that, I would like to turn the call over to Brian DeBoer, President and CEO.
