Cognex Corporation

Greetings.

Welcome to the CONNEC's first quarter 2024 earnings conference call. At this time, all participants are on a listen-only mode. A question and answer session will follow the phone presentation. If anyone should require operator assistance during the conference, please press star zero on your telephone keypad. I will now turn the conference over to your host, Nathan McEwen, Head of Investing Relations. You may begin.

Thank you, Shamali. Morning, everyone. Thank you for joining us. Our results were released earlier today. The press release, earnings presentation, and quarterly report on Form 10-Q are available on the investor relations section of our website. Both the press release and our call today will reference non-GAAP measures. You can find a reconciliation of certain items from GAAP to non-GAAP in our press release. Any forward-looking statements we made in the press release, the accompanying presentation posted to our website, or any that we may make during this call are based upon information that we believe to be true as of today. Our actual results may differ materially from our projections due to the risks and uncertainties that are described in our SEC filings, including our most recent Form 10-K and our Form 10-Q filed this morning for Q1 2024. On today's call, Rob Willett, Cognizant's President and CEO, will discuss our first quarter results. I will then provide additional detail on the financials, and Rob will conclude with an update on our strategic initiatives and our outlook. Laura McDonald, our corporate controller and interim principal financial officer, has also joined us in the room for the Q&A portion of the call. With that, I'll turn the call over to Rob.
