Okay, before I kick this off, I need to let everybody know I'm in the the recovery mode, recovering from a battle with COVID. So if I don't sound like myself, it's probably because I don't totally feel like myself. But all that said, let's kick this off. Thanks, Charlie. Good afternoon, and thank you for joining us today for our 2023 third quarter conference call. I am excited to provide an update on what I feel has been a very strong quarter for the company. Specifically, are achieving both operational and financial targets that we previously outlined earlier this year. From a financial perspective, we executed an aggressive plan to significantly lower expenses, improve gross margins, begin to grow our core revenues, and achieve non-GAAP profitability while generating cash flow from operations. During the quarter, we delivered revenue of $11 million up from the previous quarter and a non-GAAP pre-tax profit of approximately $700,000. We also produced cash flow from operations of approximately $1.5 million. I am pleased that we achieved these goals during the third quarter. This is a strong testament to our team's commitment and focus. I also believe that these results really demonstrate the earnings power potential of the business now that we're past the significant investment in migration activities that we've made over the last two plus years. Speaking of those migration activities, with AT&T's launch of Secure Family on the Safe Path platform during the third quarter, We achieved an important milestone for the company and believe that we are now well positioned for significant growth at this customer. This has been a tremendous undertaking for Smith Micro, and I'm proud of the efforts of our team to get this across the finish line. I am very happy to have these activities behind us as it allows us to fully focus on the future. and pivot towards future innovations to advance our core focus of helping to protect families. Later in the call, I will talk about how we are re-imaging the vision of digital family lifestyle for 2024 and beyond to leverage AI and machine learning to better safeguard customers' safety and privacy as well as simplifying safe path deployments to capture broader segments of the market and new geographic opportunities. But first, let's turn the call over to Jim to discuss our financials in detail. Then I will return and elaborate more on this topic. Jim?
