Thank you, Mike. Looking back on 2022, we did an exceptional job at meticulously replacing substantial mess COVID testing revenue streams with a variety of new programs while laying the foundation for continued profitable growth in 2023 and beyond. In 2022, we generated revenues of $440.5 million, up from $318.7 million in 2021, a growth rate of 38%. Excluding mass COVID testing revenues, we grew 75% year over year. Our initial revenue guidance at the start of last year was for 400 to 420 million with 35 to 40 million in adjusted EBITDA and we are proud to have exceeded both of these measures. Along with our 2022 results today, we are introducing 2023 guidance of 500 to 510 million in revenue and 45 to 50 million in adjusted EBITDA. Our gross margin expectations for the year are 35%. Gross margin is expected to be slightly below that rate in Q1 and Q2, then improving approximately 50 to 75 basis points per quarter over the course of the year. We expect to finish 2023 at an annual rate for gross margin of approximately 37%, and an adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 13%. Our target consolidated gross margin over the longer term remains at 40%. We are sharing our backlog today for the first time, which we define as projects that have been awarded but not yet started or fully implemented. Our current backlog stands at $180 million over three years. We anticipate this backlog to be fully rolled out by the end of the third quarter this year. This backlog gives us excellent visibility into 2023 revenue and allows us to provide 2023 revenue guidance with a high degree of confidence. At this time, I'm going to hand it over to Lee Beanstock, our President and Chief Operating Officer, to provide an update on some of our key growth initiatives.
