Thanks, David. Thank you, everyone, for joining us today for Definitive Healthcare's fourth quarter 2021 earnings call. We ended a transformational year for the company with excellent fourth quarter results that reflect the significant momentum we have across all parts of our business. Our performance demonstrates the significant market opportunity for healthcare commercial intelligence, which we are delivering through our comprehensive SaaS-based platform, our industry-leading data sets, and our proprietary data science-based analytics. We are at the very early stages of a $10 billion and growing market opportunity, and we believe that we're in a great position to generate strong growth and significant profitability for years to come. Let's start today by quickly reviewing our financial results for the fourth quarter and the full year, which reinforce our unique value proposition of high growth, high profitability, and visibility into the future. Starting with the fourth quarter, our total revenue was $46.3 million, which represents 38% year-over-year growth. And our adjusted EBITDA was $13.1 million, which translates into a 28% margin. For the full year, our total revenue was $166.2 million, which represents 40% year-over-year growth. Our adjusted EBITDA was $56.0 million, which translates into a 34% margin. And our unlevered free cash flow was $55.4 million, a 33% margin. We were extremely excited about our performance in the fourth quarter, as we not only surpassed our growth target, but we continued to do so in a highly profitable manner. even with the additional burden of a full quarter of public company expenses and the significant investments that we continue to make in sales, marketing, and product innovation. I'm now going to hand it over to our president, Robert Musselwhite, to talk about some of the drivers of the success, as well as to highlight some key customer wins during the quarter.
