CGI Inc.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to CGI's first quarter fiscal 2025 conference call. And I would like to turn the meeting over to Mr. Kevin Linder, SVP of Investor Relations. Please go ahead, Mr. Linder.

Thank you, Sylvie, and good morning. With me to discuss CGI's first quarter fiscal 2025 results are Francois Boulanger, our President and CEO, and Steve Perron, Executive Vice President and CFO. This call is being broadcast on CGI.com and recorded live at 9 a.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, January 29, 2025. Supplemental slides, as well as the press release we issued earlier this morning, are available for download along with our Q1 MD&A, financial statements, and accompanying notes, all of which have been filed with both Cedar Plus and Edgar. Please note that some statements made on the call may be forward-looking. Actual events or results may differ materially from those expressed or implied, and CGI disclaims any intent or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. The complete safe harbor statement is available in both our MD&A and press release, as well as on CGI.com. We recommend our investors read it in its entirety. We are reporting our financial results in accordance with international financial reporting standards or IFRS. As always, we will also discuss non-GAAP performance measures, which should be viewed as supplemental. The MD&A contains definitions of each one used in our reporting. All of the dollar figures expressed on this call are Canadian, unless otherwise noted. We are also hosting our annual general meeting this morning, so we hope you will join us live via the broadcast at 11 a.m. Now I'll turn the call over to Francois for some introductory remarks. Francois.

Thank you, Kevin, and good morning, everyone. Today, in line with the long-term succession plan of CGI, Julie Gadin was appointed Executive Chair of CGI Board of Directors, effective following today's Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. CGI's founder, Serge Gadin, is now the core chair of the board and will continue to focus on transformational acquisitions and on large-scale engagements with clients. During our annual general meeting this morning, Serge and Julie will provide further remarks on this key milestone. In addition, we announced this morning the signing of a new merger agreement. I will discuss this in my remarks. Now I'll turn the call over to Steve to review the Q1 financial results. Steve?
