Big Lots Inc at ICR Virtual Conference Transcript
Hi. Good morning, everyone. My name is Peter Keith. I'm the senior research analyst at Piper Sandler covering hardlines and leisure companies.
Very pleased to introduce our next company, Big Lots. Participating from Big Lots, we have 3 executives. We have Chief Executive Officer, Bruce Thorn; Chief Financial Officer, Jonathan Ramsden; and Chief Merchandising Officer, Jack Pestello.
So many of you may know Big Lots. But for a quick overview, they are a neighborhood discount retailer operating over 1,400 stores across 47 states with a product assortment that is focused on home essentials. So that would include items like Furniture, Soft Home, Seasonal, Food and Consumables.
For today's format, we're going to be using a Q&A. I am going to ask questions for a period of time, and then we want to take questions from the audience. So you should see a prompt at the bottom of the screen to input your questions, and I will address those later on in today's session.
