Founder & Former CEO, now Executive Chairman

Thanks, David. I would like to thank all of you for joining us this afternoon to discuss definitive health care's first quarter results. Before we go into more details on the quarter, I want to comment quickly on the news that went out today at the same time as our earnings press release. As you've likely read by now, I'm excited to announce that Robert Musselwhite, our current president, will become the Chief Executive Officer of Definitive Healthcare, effective August 1st, 2022. At that time, I will move into the role of Executive Chairman. This transition is exciting for the company and for me. For the company, Robert brings a wealth of healthcare industry expertise and a deep familiarity with running a public, healthcare-focused SaaS company. He is the perfect person to lead Definitive Healthcare through our next period of growth. On a personal level, transitioning to the executive chairman role will let me focus my attention on parts of the business I'm most passionate about, specifically product development and strategy, while still partnering with Robert on broader, long-term company strategy and mergers and acquisitions. Robert and I have developed a fantastic partnership over the last almost year working together, and I'm excited about continuing our partnership to take definitive healthcare to the next level. Now, let's get back to our Q1 results. We got off to a strong start in 2022, with important wins across each of our core markets and continued progress on our innovation roadmap. Our performance demonstrates the significant market opportunity for healthcare commercial intelligence, which we deliver through our comprehensive SaaS-based platform, our industry-leading data, and our proprietary data science-based analytics. We are at the very early stages of a $10 billion in growing market opportunity, and we believe that we are 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 quarter, which was highlighted by the company crossing $200 million in annualized revenue for the first time. Our total revenue was $50.1 million, which represents 36% year-over-year growth. And our adjusted EBITDA was 14 million, which translates into a 28% margin. These impressive results reinforce our ability to generate high growth and substantial profitability while at the same time investing organically and inorganically to support our long-term objectives. I'm now going to hand it over to Robert to talk more about some of the drivers of the success, as well as to highlight some key customer wins during the quarter.
