sk university degree results 2011ood morning. My name is Celeste, and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the CVS Caremark First Quarter 2011 Earnings Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] I would now like to turn today's call over to Ms. Nancy Christal. Please go ahead, ma'am. Nancy Christal Thank you, Celeste. Good morning, everyone, and thanks for joining us today. I'm here with Larry Merlo, President and CEO; Dave Denton, Executive Vice President and CFO; and Per Lofberg, President of our PBM business. [Operator Instructions] I want to make sure you're all aware that we posted slides on our website this morning that summarize the information on this call.
The slides also include some key facts and figures that you may find helpful, which we won't have time to review on the call. I also want to announce the date for our 2011 Analyst Day. It will be held on the morning of Friday, October 7 in New York City. More details will be forthcoming, but please hold the date. This morning, we'll discuss some non-GAAP financial measures in talking about our company's performance, namely free cash flow, EBITDA and adjusted EPS. In accordance with SEC regulations, you can find the definitions of the non-GAAP items I mentioned, as well as the reconciliations to comparable GAAP measures on the Investor Relations portion of our website. As always, today's call is being simulcast on our website, and it will be archived there following the call. Please note that we expect to file our Form 10-Q by the end of today, and it will be available through our website at that time. Now before we continue, our attorneys have asked me to read the Safe Harbor statement. During this call, we'll make certain forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. Accordingly, for these forward-looking statements, we claim the protection of the Safe Harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We strongly recommend that you become familiar with the specific risks and uncertainties that are described in the Risk Factors section of our most recently filed annual report on Form 10-K and that you review the section entitled Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-looking Statements in our most recently filed quarterly report on Form 10-Q. And now I'll turn this over to Larry Merlo.
