Masco Corporation

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Masco Corporation's second quarter conference call. My name is Ludi, and I'll be your operator for today's call. As a reminder, today's conference call is being recorded for replay purposes. To ask a question, please press the star, then the number one on your telephone keypad. To withdraw your question, please press the star, followed by the number two. I will now turn the call over to Robin Sondervan. Vice President, Investor Relations, and FP&A of Masco Corp, you may begin.

Operator, and good morning, everyone. Welcome to Masco Corporation's 2024 Second Quarter Conference Call. With me today are Keith Allman, President and CEO of Masco, and Rick Westenberg, Masco's Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Our second quarter earnings release and the presentation slides are available on our website under Investor Relations. Following our remarks, we will open the call for analyst questions. Please limit yourself to one question with one follow-up. If we can't take your question now, please call me directly at 792-5500. Our statements today will include our views about our future performance, which constitute forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. We described these risks and uncertainties in our risk factors and other disclosures in our Form 10-K and our Form 10-Q that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our statements will also include non-GAAP financial metrics. Our references to operating profit and earnings per share will be as adjusted unless otherwise noted. We reconcile these adjusted metrics to GAAP in our earnings release and presentation slides, which are available on our website under Investor Relations. With that, I will now turn the call over to Keith.

Thank you, Robin. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us today.
