Dick Fontaine, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Thank you. Good morning and thanks to everyone for joining us for our third-quarter conference call. I am Dick Fontaine, the Chairman and CEO of GameStop. With me today, as is our usual lineup, are Dan Dematteo, our Vice Chairman and COO and David Carlson, our executive VP and Chief Financial Officer.
Historically, we have released our third quarter about a week and a half before the kickoff to the holiday season. But this year due to the work pertaining to our merger with EB, we are already into the holiday season and to that degree, we will be touching on some early trends of the fourth quarter, but I want to reinforce that we will not be discussing in detail specifics of that quarter.
As we reported this morning before the market opened, GameStop had another solid and I might add a very busy third quarter. There are three significant aspects to the quarter that I want to stress before I turn the call over to David and Dan. David will take you through the numbers and Dan will talk about some of the trends in the titles and with a number of the pieces of hardware.
