Welcome to Bed Bath & Beyond’s third quarter of fiscal 2008 conference call. Within the past hour we issued a press release announcing Bed Bath & Beyond’s results for the three and nine month periods ended November 29, 2008. During this call we will comment on some of the third quarter’s highlights and update guidance for the fiscal fourth quarter and full year 2008. We will also provide some preliminary fiscal 2009 planning assumptions.
We anticipate providing further information related to the fiscal first quarter and full year of 2009 on our next quarterly call on April 7, 2009 when we expect to have better visibility about the macroeconomic environment for the next fiscal year.
Before proceeding, I will read the following statement, ?Bed Bath & Beyond’s fiscal third quarter press release and comments made during this call may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended. Many of these forward looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as may, will, expect, anticipate, estimate, assume, continue, project, plan and similar words and phrases.
The company’s actual results and future financial condition may differ materially from those expressed in any such forward-looking statement as a result of many factors that may be outside of the company’s control.
