“Early last year, we set out to separate our three leading food service businesses into independent companies to best position each business for long-term growth and to unlock value for all of our shareholders.”

“I think I'll be walking up to ACDC here, but hopefully it's a good way to start the day. Welcome everybody. Thank you all for being here. So we're excited about the day.”

“I'm excited for the next few months and what it holds for Middleby. That starts today with sharing the excellent results achieved across both segments of the business and raising our guidance for the year.”

“This morning, we have made several important announcements alongside our 2024 fourth quarter earnings. These announcements include our decision to separate the Middleby Food Processing business into a standalone public company.”

“As we begin, please note there are slides to accompany the call on the Investor Relations page of our website.”
