Good morning. Thank you for joining us for Kroger’s fourth quarter and full year 2024 earnings call. I am joined today by Kroger’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Ron Sargent and Interim Chief Financial Officer, Todd Foley.

Before we begin, I want to remind you that today’s discussions will include forward-looking statements. We want to caution you that such statements are predictions and actual events or results can differ materially. A detailed discussion of the many factors that we believe may have a material effect on our business on an ongoing basis is contained in our SEC filings. The Kroger Company assumes no obligation to update that information. After our prepared remarks, we look forward to taking your questions. In order to cover a broad range of topics from as many of you as we can, we ask that you please limit yourself to one question. I will now turn the call over to Ron.
