Operator
Welcome to the Shaw Group first quarter 2008 earnings conference call. (Operator Instructions) I would now like to turn the conference over to Chris Sammons, Vice President Investor Relations for the Shaw Group. Please go ahead, sir.
Chris Sammons
Thank you, operator. Good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining us. First off I’d like to remind everyone that in addition to our call today we have a slide presentation on our website. You may access this by navigating to ShawGRP.com and our investor relations tab. We will refer to the slides by number as we proceed in the call.
Today on the call will be lead by Jim Bernhard, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Brian Ferraioli, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
Before we begin, I’d like to remind everyone that our statements today on the call may be considered forward looking statements and regulation G statements within the rules of the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995. The words ?believe, anticipate, plan, intend, foresee, should, would, could? or other similar type expressions are intended to indentify forward looking statements.
However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward looking. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward looking statements as a result of many factors or events including the factors we discussed or referred to in the risk factors section of our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and our quarterly report on Form 10-Q and on our website under the heading forward-looking statements.
This presentation includes some non-GAAP measures as defined by the SEC. A reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable financial measures under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles is included in the attached appendix to the presentation and to our press release today. It’s also under our Reg G disclosures on our investor relations section of our website.
As usual there will be a Q&A session at the end of the comments this morning and the operator will provide instructions. Now I’ll refer you to slide 3 and turn the call over to Jim Bernhard.
