John William Ivankoe - JPMorgan Chase & Co, Research Division - Senior Restaurant Analyst
Thank you, everyone, for joining us a little bit late in the afternoon here. It's John Ivankoe with JPMorgan. We're very happy to have the US Foods team with us today. Pietro Satriano is the company's Chief Executive Officer; Dirk Locascio is the company's Chief Financial Officer; and Melissa Napier runs IR. JPMorgan is restricted on this name from a research perspective. So I'm going to deviate a little bit from my typical discussion style and ask a series of questions, which you do not infer any research bias whatsoever in the questions that I will ask. So don't be surprised as I just simply read through a list of questions and let the management ask -- answer them without any further color for me. So thank you, everyone, for joining us, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
