Vertiv Holdings

Good morning. My name is Betsy, and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to Vertiv's second quarter 2021 earnings conference call. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. Please note, this event is being recorded. I'll now turn the program over to your host for today's conference, Max Einer, Vice President of Investor Relations.

Great. Thank you, Betsy. Good morning and welcome to Virta's second quarter 2021 earnings conference call. Joining me today are Virta's executive chairman, Dave Cody, chief executive officer, Rob Johnson, chief financial officer, David Fallon, and chief strategy and development officer, Gary Niederprun. Before we begin, I point out that during the course of the call, we will make forward-looking statements regarding future events, including the future financial and operating performance of Virta. 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 message included in today's earnings 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 both GAAP financial measures. Our GAAP results and GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations can be found in our earnings press release and in the investor slide deck found on our website at investors.verta.com. With that, I'll turn the call over to Executive Chairman Dave Cody.

Good morning, everyone. I know I've said this many times, but I truly believe it, so I guess I'm going to continue to say it. Vertiv is a great company and is in a really good industry. No company, no industry is ever perfect, of course, but from what I've seen over the last eight years, I am very pleased with the company, the management team, and the industry.
