Good morning, and welcome to the fourth quarter 2024 conference call for I3 Verticals. Joining me on this call are Greg Daley, our Chairman and CEO, Rick Stanford, our President, Jeff Smith, our Chief Financial Officer, and Paul Christians, our Chief Revenue Officer. To the extent any non-GAAP financial measure is discussed in today's call, you will also find a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure by reviewing yesterday's earnings release. It is the company's intent to provide non-GAAP financial information to enhance understanding of its consolidated GAAP financial performance. This non-GAAP financial information should be considered by each individual in addition to, but not instead of, the GAAP financial statements. This conference call may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements among others regarding the company's expected financial and operating performance. For this purpose, any statements made during this call that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. You are hereby cautioned that these forward-looking statements may be affected by the important factors among others set forth in the company's earnings release and in reports that are filed or furnished to the SEC. Consequently, actual operations and results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Finally, the information shared on this call is valid as of today's date, and the company undertakes no obligation to update it, except as may be required under applicable law. I will now turn the call over to the company's chairman and CEO, Greg Dailing.

Thanks, Clay. Good morning to everyone on the call. Each year that goes by, we look back and are amazed at all that has changed. We've never been a company that stood still. I'll cite our 50 acquisitions as an example. However, I don't think we've ever had a year as transformational as fiscal year 2024. Our team worked exceptionally hard this year to advance our transition to a pure play vertical market software business and set the table for our next stage of growth. We exit the year as a streamlined and scaled vertical market software provider As we look ahead at our opportunities in front of us for fiscal year 25, we're excited about our position. We have great solutions that are mission critical to our customers in underserved markets. We're building great new products, which Rick will discuss further. We have infrastructure to do it efficiently. We have the best in class payment facilitation platform that helps us maximize revenue opportunities. and we are delevered and posed to add more great businesses through M&A. We believe we have set the stage for a great fiscal year 2025 and beyond. Our visibility, our sales funnel, and products we have coming to market give us confidence in our long-term guidance of high single-digit organic growth. We remain focused on growth and excellent investment choices. I'll now turn the call over to Clay, I'm sorry, to Jeff, and he will provide you more detail on our financial performance. And when he's finished, Rick will add commentary on the business. And finally, Paul will discuss revenue. And then we'll open up the call for questions.
