Heidrick & Struggles International, Inc.

We stand by. We're about to begin. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the Hydric and Struggles Q2 2023 Earnings Conference Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode, and please be advised that this call is being recorded. After the speakers prepare to march, there will be a question and answer session. If you would like to ask a question during this time, simply press star 1 on your telephone keypad, and if you would like to withdraw your question, simply press star 1 again. And now at this time, I would like to turn things over to Ms. Suzanne Rosenberg, Vice President, Investor Relations. Please go ahead, ma'am.

Thank you, and welcome to our 2023 Second Quarter Conference Call. Joining me on today's call is our President and CEO, Krishnan Rajagopalan, and Chief Financial Officer, Mark Harris. We posted our accompanying slides on the IR homepage of our website at hydric.com, and we encourage you to view these slides for additional context. Please note that in the materials presented today, we may refer to non-GAAP financial measures that we believe provide additional insight into underlying results. Reconciliations between these non-GAAP financial measures and the most comparable GAAP measures may be found in the earnings press release. Also, in our remarks, we may make certain forward-looking statements. We ask that you please refer to the Safe Harbor language also contained in today's press release. Christian, I'll now turn the call over to you.

Thank you, Suzanne.
