Investor Relations
Thank you, operator. Good afternoon everyone, and thank you for joining us to discuss Heckmann Corporation’s 2013 first quarter financial and operating results. Some of the comments we will make today are forward-looking. Generally, the words aim, anticipate, believe, could, estimate, expect, intend, may, plan, project, should, will be, will continue, will likely result, would and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. These statements involve a number of other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include a variety of factors, some of which are beyond our control. These forward-looking statements speak as of today, and you should not rely on them as representing our views in the future. We undertake no obligation to update these statements after this call. For a more detailed description of risk factors, please refer to our filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as on our current report on Form 8-K and any amendments to these filings, as well as our earnings release posted on the Heckmann Corporation website, for a more detailed description of the risk factors that may affect our results. Copies of these documents may be obtained from the SEC or by visiting the Investor Relations section of our website, www.heckmanncorp.com. Also, please note that certain financial measures we may use on this call, such as adjusted EBITDA, earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, are non-GAAP measures. Please see our press release for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to GAAP. Joining us on the call today from Heckmann Corporation are Dick Heckmann, Executive Chairman; Mark Johnsrud, Chief Executive Officer; Jay Parkinson, Chief Financial Officer. And with that, I would now like to turn the call over to Dick Heckmann.
