South Plains Financial, Inc.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the South Plains Financial Incorporated Third Quarter 2022 Earnings Conference Call. During today's presentation, all parties will be in a listen-only mode. Following the presentation, the conference will be open for questions with instructions to follow at that time. As a reminder, this conference call is being recorded. I would now like to turn the conference over to Mr. Steve Crockett, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of South Plains Financial. Please go ahead, sir.

Thank you, operator, and good morning, everyone.

We appreciate your participation in our third quarter 2022 earnings conference call. With me here today are Curtis Griffith, our chairman and chief executive officer, and Corey Newsome, our president. A replay of this call will be available on our website within two hours of the conclusion of this call until November 4th, 2022. Additionally, a slide deck presentation to complement today's discussion is available on the news and events section of our website. Before we begin, let me remind everyone that this call may contain forward-looking statements and are subject to a variety of risk, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated future results. Please see our safe harbor statement in our earnings press release that was issued this morning and on slide two of the slide deck presentation available on our website. All comments made during today's call are subject to those safe harbor statements. Any forward-looking statements presented herein are made only as of today's date, and we do not undertake any duty to update such forward-looking statements, except as required by law. Additionally, during today's call, we may discuss certain non-GAAP measures, which we believe are useful in evaluating our performance. Reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures can also be found in our earnings release and on slide 22 of the slide deck presentation. At this point, I'll turn the call over to Curtis.
