Greetings, and welcome to The Chefs' Warehouse Fourth Quarter 2024 Earnings Conference Call. As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. I would now like to turn the conference over to your host, Alex Aldous, General Counsel, Corporate Secretary and Chief Government Relations Officer. Please go ahead, sir.
Alexandros Aldous
Thank you, operator. Good morning, everyone. With me on today's call are Chris Pappas, Founder, Chairman and CEO and Jim Leddy, our CFO. By now, you should have access to our fourth quarter 2024 earnings press release. It can also be found at www.chefswarehouse.com under the Investor Relations section.
Throughout this conference call, we will be presenting non-GAAP financial measures, including among others, historical and estimated EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted operating expenses, net debt leverage and free cash flow. These measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP and may be calculated differently in similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
Quantitative reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures appear in today's press release and fourth quarter 2024 earnings presentation. Before we begin our formal remarks, I need to remind everyone that part of our discussion today will include forward-looking statements, including statements regarding our estimated financial performance. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and therefore you should not put undue reliance on them....
