Nikola Corporation

Thank you, Operator, and good morning, everyone. Welcome to Nikola Corporation's second quarter 2023 earnings and business update call. Joining me today are Michael Loscheller, Steve Gursky, Stacey Pasterak, and Kerry Mendez. A press release detailing our financial and business results was distributed earlier 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 Q2 earnings press release we issued today. Today's discussion also includes forward-looking statements about our future expectations and plans. Actual results may differ materially from those stated, and some factors that could cause actual results to differ are also explained at the end of today's earnings press release and on page 2 of our earnings call deck and also in our filings with the SEC. 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 Stacey will give their prepared remarks, followed by analyst Q&A. Then we will conclude with questions from our shareholders. Please begin the video presentation. Thank you.

Talon Logistics Inc. is the asset-based division of Talon Group. We're a trucking logistics company. We focus on a lot of ocean freight, drage, intermodal. We want to be trendsetters. And I felt Nikola was the trendsetters for zero emission for commercial vehicles. You know, obviously you have competitors in the market, but you don't see those type of trucks out there right now. You see Nikola trucks.

The difference between us partnering with Nickel and another company is that they offer an all-inclusive charging infrastructure. And it's literally just play and play, which is perfect.
