Good afternoon.

Welcome and thank you for attending Altair's earnings conference call for the third quarter of 2022 and it's September 30th, 2022. I'm Dave Simon, Altair's SVP for investor relations. And with me on the call are Jim Scappa, founder, chairman, and CEO, and Matt Brown, chief financial officer. After market closed today, we issued a press release with details regarding our third quarter performance and guidance for the fourth quarter and full year 2022, which can be accessed on the investor relations section of our website at investor.altair.com. This call is being recorded, and the replay will be available on the IR section of our website following the conclusion of this call. During today's call, we will make statements related to our business that may be considered forward-looking under federal securities laws. These statements reflect our views only as of today and should not be considered representative of our views as of any subsequent date. We disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statements or outlook. These statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ maturely from our expectations. These risks are summarized in the press release that we issued earlier today. For a further discussion of the material risks and other important factors that could affect our actual results, please refer to those contained in our quarterly and annual reports filed with the SEC, as well as other documents that we have filed or may file from time to time. During the course of today's call, we will refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures is included in our press release. Finally, at times in our prepared comments or responses to your questions, we may offer metrics that are incremental to our usual presentation to provide greater insight into the dynamics of our business or our quarterly results. Please be advised that we may or may not continue to provide this additional detail in the future. With that, let me turn the call over to Jim for his prepared remarks.
