Operator

Welcome to the Ciena Corporation Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2013 and Year End Results Conference Call. My name is Loraine, and I will be your operator for today's call. [Operator Instructions] Please note that this conference is being recorded.

I would now like to turn the call over to Mr. Gregg Lampf. Mr. Lampf, you may begin.

Gregg M. Lampf - Vice President of Investor Relations
Thank you, Loraine. Good morning, and welcome to Ciena's Fourth Quarter 2013 Fiscal Year End Review. With me today is Gary Smith, CEO and President; Jim Moylan, CFO; and Tom Mock, Senior Vice President, Corporate Communications. This morning's press release is available on National Business Wire and ciena.com. We've also posted to the Investors section of ciena.com an accompanying investor presentation, including certain highlighted items from this quarter being discussed today, as well as our historical results. In a separate release this morning, we also announced the pending transfer of the listing of Ciena's common stock from NASDAQ to the New York Stock Exchange. We expect to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange on December 23 under the current ticker "CIEN". We will continue to trade on NASDAQ until the transfer is complete.

In our prepared remarks today, Gary will discuss management's view on the year and the market, and Jim will offer some color on our results and provide guidance for Q1. We'll then open the call to questions from the sell-side analysts, taking one question per person with follow-ups as time allows.

Before turning the call over to Gary, I'll remind you that during this call, we will be making certain forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on current expectations, forecasts and assumptions regarding the company that include risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the statements discussed today. These statements should be viewed in the context of the risk factors detailed in our most recent 10-Q filing. Our 10-K is required to be filed with the SEC by January 2, and we expect to file by that date. Ciena assumes no obligation to update the information discussed in this conference call whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Today's discussion includes certain adjusted or non-GAAP measures of Ciena's results of operations. A detailed reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to our GAAP results is included in today's press release available on ciena.com. This call is being recorded and will be available for replay from the Investors section of our website. Gary?

Gary B. Smith - Chief Executive Officer, President and Director
