Good morning. Welcome to NECOLA Corporation fourth quarter and full year 2022 earnings and business update call. Currently, all participants are in a listen-only mode. We begin today's call with a short video presentation, followed by management's prepared remarks. A brief question and answer session will follow the formal prepared remarks.

Thank you, Operator, and good morning, everyone. Welcome to Nikola Corporation's fourth quarter and full year 2022 earnings and business update call. With me today are Michael O'Sheller, Chief Executive Officer, and Kim Brady, Chief Financial Officer. The press release detailing our financial and business results was distributed shortly after 9 a.m. Eastern Time this morning. The release can be found on the Investor Relations section of our website, along with presentation slides accompanying today's call. Today's discussions include references to non-GAAP measures. These measures are reconciled to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures and can be found at the end of the Q4 earnings press release we issued today. Today's discussions also include forward-looking statements about our future expectations and plans. Actual results may differ materially from those stated, and factors that could cause actual results to differ are also explained at the end of today's earnings press release and on page two of our earnings call deck. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. You are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. After the video presentation, Michael and Kim will give their prepared remarks, followed by analyst Q&A. Then we will conclude with questions from our shareholders. We will now begin the video presentation.

It's an important day for Nikola because we are finally coming out with a brand that houses the hydrogen energy business. Our hydrogen powered trucks are not going to work without hydrogen because hydrogen is new. It's clean, zero emissions. It's really going to change the planet and it's going to change the future of the transportation industry.
