This conference is being recorded today, Thursday, October 26, 2023. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to our third quarter call. This is Ken Krause. Before we begin, I'd like to take just a moment to formally introduce Lindsay Burton. Lindsay is our new VP of Investor Relations, joining us most recently from the Home Depot. She brings a very strong background in investor relations, and we're excited to have her join our team at Rollins. I look forward to introducing her to many of you in Q4 as we attend several investor conferences. Welcome, Lindsay.

Thank you, Ken, and good morning, everyone. In addition to the earnings release that we issued yesterday, the company has also prepared a supporting slide presentation. The earnings release and presentation are available on our website at www.rollins.com. We have included certain non-GAAP financial measures as part of our discussions this morning. The non-GAAP reconciliations are available in the appendix of today's presentation, as well as in our earnings release. The company's earnings release discusses the business outlook and contains certain forward-looking statements. These particular forward-looking statements and all other statements that have been made on this call, excluding historical facts, are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from any statement we make today. Please refer to yesterday's press release and the company's SEC filings, including the risk factor section of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31st 2022, and our Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30th, 2023, which will be filed later today.
