Management
Good morning, everyone. On behalf of the entire H&R Block management team, it's my pleasure to welcome all of you here today, as well as all those listening in on the webcast to our 2012 investor conference. Before we get started, we do have a few housekeeping items to get out of the way. First, earlier this morning, we released our fiscal second quarter results for 2013. Some of the figures in that release were presented on a non-GAAP basis. We've reconciled the comparable GAAP and non-GAAP figures in the schedules attached to the press release. You can find both the release and the schedules on the Investor Relations website at hrblock.com. I'd also like to remind everyone that today's presentation and various comments made in connection with it will include forward-looking statements as defined under the securities laws. Such forward-looking statements involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict and are not guarantees of future performance. Forward-looking statements involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, and our actual outcomes and results could differ materially. You can learn more about these risks in our Form 10-K for fiscal 2012 and our other SEC filings. H&R Block undertakes no obligation to publicly update these risk factors or forward-looking statements. Now shortly after this morning's presentations conclude, we'll post the slides to our IR website. And as a reminder, our webcast will be available on our website around 1:30 Eastern today. To give you a sense of today's agenda, our opening presentations will run until about 9:30, give or take a few minutes, and then we'll take about a 15-minute break. We expect Q&A to begin around 11 Eastern, and following Q&A, we'll head to lunch in the Rits Salon [ph], which is right out the door to your right. We hope you'll be able to join us for lunch, as there, you'll have an opportunity to meet with various members of our senior management team. And one last note, if you haven't found them already, which I'm sure most of you already have, the restrooms are also out the door, just to your right, past the registration table. So again, welcome, everyone. It's our pleasure to have you here today. We hope you enjoy the presentations. And with that, let's get started. [Presentation]
