Adam Klammer
Chairman of the Board

Thank you, Andy. It's a pleasure to be on today's call to briefly share the board's perspective on the appointment of Tom Hogan as Celebrite's CEO. Tom has long been the preferred choice of our board to serve as CEO. Given his vast technology experience, his intense focus on strategy and intimacy with Celebrite's executive team, workforce, and customers gained over the last two years. Since joining Celebrite as executive chairman in August of 2023 and continuing through his service as interim CEO over the past eight months, Tom has played an important active role in every major initiative that has helped drive substantial value creation. His passion for Celebrite is tangible and infectious. As Celebrite's chair and the managing partner of one of the company's largest shareholders, I could not be happier. Given that backdrop, you're likely wondering why it took so long for this appointment to occur. In the summer of 2024, Tom was diagnosed with stage four non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that precluded his ability to commit to serving as Celebrite's CEO when the company announced its succession plans in mid-November of 2024. At the time of Yossi's departure, Tom was on the back end of six months of chemotherapy at MD Anderson. He finished up his final treatments in December, with his cancer fortunately in complete remission. It was the board's strong desire and preference to retain Tom as the full-time CEO, given the performance of the company since his arrival. I would remind the shareholders that despite the pullback in the stock price this year, Celebrite's value has more than doubled since Tom joined as executive chairman, mentoring Yossi and working closely with the team. Tom was willing and able to step in as interim CEO on January 1st, but given the rigorous demands of a global CEO role, he wanted time to fully recover and confirm his ability to run at 120% and provide the leadership this company deserves. Given that backdrop, our board executed a thorough external search that yielded a number of very qualified candidates. This is a fabulous company and the position attracted substantial interest. We had multiple highly qualified prior public CEO experience candidates that wanted this position and we were prepared to go down that path if necessary. Fortunately, Tom's cancer has remained in full remission. As he has steadily regained his energy and stamina, we were thrilled when Tom raised his hand. to remove the interim designation, which made our choice very easy. The board is unanimous in its conviction that Tom is the right individual to lead Celebrite, providing valuable continuity for the company, its people, shareholders, and customers. Celebrite's future is incredibly bright. Despite the near-term uncertainty with U.S. federal spending, this company is making an impact with customers while delivering durable, profitable growth and outstanding free cash flow. Myself and the board have confidence in the strategic initiatives already underway, some of which Tom and Dave will discuss today, and those that will be further developed and executed on over the coming quarters. It will elevate the company's value with customers and lead to a stronger Celebrite. Tom's appointment as CEO is a great outcome for Celebrite, the shareholders, its people, and its customers. That concludes my comments, and I will now hand the call over to Tom.
