Operator

Good day and welcome to Service Corporation International Fourth Quarter 2019 Earnings Conference Call. All participants will be in listen-only mode. [Operator Instructions] Please note this event is being recorded.

I would now like to turn the conference over to SCI management. Please go ahead.

Allie O'Connor

Good morning. This is Allie O'Connor, Director of Financial Reporting. Debbie is out today, so I have the honor of going over the safe harbor language with you before we begin with prepared remarks about the quarter from Tom and Eric.

Comments made by our management team today will include statements that are not historical and are forward-looking. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations and projections. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to those factors identified in our press release and in our filings with the SEC that are available on our website.

In today’s comments, we may also refer to certain non-GAAP measurements such as adjusted EPS, adjusted operating cash flow, and free cash flow. A reconciliation of these measurements, the appropriate measures calculated in accordance with GAAP is provided on our website and in our press release and 8-K that were filed this morning.

With that, I will now turn the call over to Tom Ryan, SCI's Chairman and CEO.

Tom Ryan

Thanks, Allie, and thank you
