Daniel L. Molinaro - NOW, Inc.
Management
Thank you, Sylvia, and welcome, everyone, to the NOW Inc. first quarter 2017 earnings conference call. We appreciate you joining us this morning, and thanks for your interest in NOW Inc. With me this morning is Robert Workman, President and CEO of NOW Inc.; and Dave Cherechinsky, Corporate Controller and Chief Accounting Officer. NOW Inc. operates primarily under the DistributionNOW and Wilson Export brands, and you'll hear us refer to DistributionNOW and DNOW, which is our New York Stock Exchange ticker symbol throughout our conversations this morning. Before we begin this discussion on NOW Inc.'s financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017, please note that some of the statements we make during this call may contain forecasts, projections and estimates, including, but not limited to, comments about our outlook for the company's business. These are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws based on limited information as of today, which is subject to change. They're subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially. No one should assume that these forward-looking statements remain valid later in the quarter or later in the year. I refer you to the latest Forms 10-K and 10-Q that NOW Inc. has on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a more detailed discussion of the major risk factors affecting our business. Further information regarding these as well as supplemental, financial and operating information may be found within our press release on our Investor Relations website at ir.distributionnow.com or in our filings with the SEC. In an effort to provide investors with additional information relative to our results as determined by GAAP, you'll note that we disclosed various non-GAAP financial measures in our quarterly press release, including EBITDA excluding other costs, net loss excluding other costs, and diluted loss per share excluding other costs. Each excludes the impact of certain other costs and therefore, has not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of each is included in our press release. As of this morning, the Investor Relations section of our website contains the presentation covering our Q1 results and key takeaways, which should assist you in understanding our first quarter performance. A replay of today's call will be available on the site for the next 30 days. It also should be noted that we plan to file our first quarter 2017 Form 10-Q later today and it will also be available on our website. Later on this call, I'll discuss our financial performance, and we will then answer your questions. But first, let me turn the call over to Robert.
