Presentation
Marlys Johnson
Welcome to Gateway’s second quarter earnings conference call. If you have not seen a copy of today’s earnings release, please go to the news and information page on our Gateway.com website. Additionally, there will be accompanying slides to our presentation today, which can be accessed by clicking on the link on our homepage.
Joining me today are Chief Executive Office, Ed Coleman and Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, John Goldsberry.
Before we begin I’d like to remind the audience that the presentation you are about to hear contains forward-looking statements based on manager expectations that involve risk and uncertainties as well as assumptions that if they do not materialize or prove incorrect could cause Gateway’s results to differ materially from these expectations. Also, all statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements.
Information about factors that could cause these results to differ from expectations can be found in today’s press release and the company’s report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. During this call, we may discuss certain non-GAAP financial measures that management uses as a basis to evaluate the company’s financial performance and forecast future periods.
If applicable, you can find additional information on these non-GAAP measures and a reconciliation of these measures to GAAP measures in our quarterly report on our website.
I would now like to turn the meeting over to Ed Coleman who will provide overall commentary on the company's future direction and priorities. He will be followed by John Goldsberry who will review Gateway’s second quarter financial results. Thereafter, if time permits, we will allow questions from the audience.
To allow greater participation, please limit your questions to one per person. Ed.
Ed Coleman
