It is now my pleasure to turn the conference over to Vice President of Investor Relations, Mr. Bennett Murphy. Please go ahead.

Bennett Murphy

Thank you. Good morning and thank you all for joining us for this conference call to discuss the AmerisourceBergen fiscal 2019 first quarter financial results. I am Bennett Murphy, Vice President, Investor Relations for AmerisourceBergen, and joining me today are Steve Collis, Chairman President and CEO and Jim Cleary, Executive Vice President and CFO.

On today’s call, we will also be discussing non-GAAP financial measures, which we use to assess the underlying performance of our business. The GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations provided in today’s press release are also available on our website. During this conference call, we will also make forward-looking statements about our business and financial expectations on an adjusted non-GAAP basis, including but not limited to, EPS, operating income and income taxes.

Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to uncertainty and change. AmerisourceBergen assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements or information, and this call cannot be rebroadcast without the express permission of the company. We remind you there are uncertainties and risks that could cause our future actual results to differ materially from our current expectations.

For a discussion of key risk factors and other cautionary statements and assumptions, we refer you to our SEC filings, including our most recent Form 10-K, and to today’s press release. I would also like to remind you that we have posted a slide presentation to accompany this morning’s press release. You can find it at our website, investor.amerisourcebergen.com.

You’ll have an opportunity to ask questions after today’s remarks by management. We do ask that you limit your questions to one per participant in order to get us to as many participants and inquiries as we can within the hour.

With that, I will turn the call over to Steve. Steve?
