Thank you, Rivka. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to our review of Photonics' fiscal 2023 first quarter results. Joining me this morning are Frank Lee, our Chief Executive Officer, John Jordan, our Chief Financial Officer, Chris Progler, our Chief Technology Officer, and Eric Rivera, our Chief Accounting Officer and Corporate Controller. The press release we issued on Monday together with the presentation material that accompanies our remarks are available on the investor relations section of our webpage. Comments made by any participant on today's call may include forward looking statements that include such words as anticipate, believe, estimate, expect, forecast or in our view. These forward looking statements are based upon a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors that are difficult to predict. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking information. During the course of our discussion, we will refer to certain non-GAAP financial metrics. These numbers are useful for analysts, investors, and management to evaluate ongoing performance. A reconciliation of these metrics to GAAP financial results is provided in our presentation materials. At this time, I would like to turn the call over to Frank.
