Daniel Harris
Management
Welcome to Carlyle’s fourth quarter and full year 2013 earnings call. With me on the call today are Carlyle’s Co-Chief Executive Officers Bill Conway and David Rubenstein and our Chief Financial Officer Adena Friedman. Early this morning we issued a press release with our fourth quarter and full year 2013 results, a copy of which is available on the investor relations of our website. Following our remarks, we will hold a question and answer session for analyst and institutional unit holders. As we did last quarter, we are going to limit each person to one question to allow everyone on the line to participate in a reasonable timeframe so feel free to get back in the queue if you have additional questions. This call is being webcast and a replay will be available on our website. We will refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures during today’s call. These measures should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. We have provided reconciliations of these measures to GAAP in our earnings release. Any forward-looking statements made today do not guarantee future performance and undue reliance should not be placed on them. These statements are based on current management expectations and involve inherent risks and uncertainties including those identified in the risk factor section of our annual report on Form 10K that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated. Carlyle assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements at any time. With that, let me turn it over to our Co-Chief Executive Officer David Rubenstein.
