Vertiv Holdings

Good morning. My name is Grant, and I will be your conference operator today.

At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to Verded's first quarter 2021 earnings conference call. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. Please note that this call is being recorded. I would now like to turn the program over to your host for today's conference call, Lynn Maxeiner, Vice President of Investor Relations.

Great. Thanks, Grant. And good morning and welcome to VRTA's first quarter 2021 earnings conference call. Joining me today are VRTA's Executive Chairman, David Cody, Chief Executive Officer, Rob Johnson, Chief Financial Officer, David Fallon, and Chief Strategy and Development Officer, Gary Niederkuhn. Before we begin, I point out that during the course of this call, we will make forward-looking statements regarding future events, including the future financial and operating performance of VRTA. These forward-looking statements are subject to material risk and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. We refer you to the cautionary language included in the journey release, and you can learn more about these risks in our registration statement, our proxy statement, and other filings with the SEC. Any forward-looking statements that we make today are based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable as of this date. We undertake no obligation to update these statements as a result of new information or future events. During this call, we will also present the gap and non-gap financial measures. Our gap results and gap to non-gap reconciliation can be found in our earnings presentation and press release. Also, the investor slide deck found on our website at investors.com. With that, I'll turn the call over to Executive Chairman David Cody.
