Thank you, [Oneika]. Good morning, everyone and welcome to our fourth quarter earnings conference call. Joining me today on the call are Keith Smith, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Paul Chakmak, our Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer.
Our comments today will include statements relating to our future results, including the financial outlook for the coming year and expectations for the first quarter of 2009, our expansion and development projects, and other market business and property trends that are forward-looking statements within the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act.
The company undertakes no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Actual results may differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statement as a result of certain risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to those noted in our earnings release, our periodic reports, and our other filings with the SEC.
During our call today, we will make reference to non-GAAP financial measures. For a complete reconciliation of historical non-GAAP to GAAP financial measures, please refer to our earnings press release and our Form 8-K furnished to the SEC today, both of which are available in the investor section of our website at boydgaming.com.
