Thank you, Rich. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us for our earnings call. This past year was transformational for us, and we are pleased with where we landed today. Performance is almost exclusively a healthcare company after effectively ceasing activity in recovery markets. In addition, we completed a public offering of common stocks We financed our debt structure and are now well positioned with multiple new and energized shareholders. We accomplished this alongside continuing to provide top-tier service to our clients, adding new logos, and expanding our already established statements of work. We are excited for our growth and the path ahead. Then we'll provide a deeper discussion of the healthcare operational results in Q4 and for the year in a few moments. However, before I hand it over to him, I want to take a moment to acknowledge all of the hard work and effort that was put in by our team in 2021. Your tireless efforts and contributions have allowed us to be positioned as we are today. We worked hard throughout 2021 to set us up foundationally to be a healthcare pure play organization. And while we continue to work through COVID challenges, we are executing against our plan. Thank you for everything that you've given to our company. In addition, I want to thank our clients for allowing us to be their partner and for their continued support and recognition of our platform and its capabilities. 2022 officially marks a new era for performance, and we are looking forward to capitalizing on our market position and growing the company. Lastly, I wanted to officially announce that Simeon Koh is being promoted to President of Performance. Over the past 10 years, Simeon has worked tirelessly to build and mature our healthcare business. His promotion to President is a natural progression in our transformation to a healthcare pure play company and a direct reflection of his successful leadership and execution of our growth strategy. It gives me great pleasure to introduce Sim to discuss the fourth quarter and other initiatives in our healthcare business in greater detail. Sim?
