With me on the call today are Gary Steele and Jason Child. After market closed today, we issued our earnings press release, which is posted on our investor relations website, along with supplemental material. This conference call is being broadcast live via webcast, and following the call, an audio replay will be available on our website. On today's call, we will be making forward-looking statements, including financial guidance and expectations, including our forecast for our second quarter and full year fiscal 2023, and our expectations of revenues, renewals, operating margin, operating cash flow, and rule of 40 scale, as well as trends in our markets and business, our strategies, and our expectations regarding our business, products, technology, customers, demand, and markets. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and based on our assumptions as to the macroeconomic environment. and reflect our best judgment based on factors currently known to us. Actual events or results may differ materially. Please refer to documents we file with the SEC, including the 8 file with today's press release. Those documents contain risks and other factors that may cause our actual results to differ from those contained in our forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are being made as of today, and we disclaim any obligation to update or revise these statements. If this call is reviewed after today, the information presented during this call may not contain current or accurate information. We will also discuss non-GAAP financial measures which are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results is provided in the press release and on our website. So with that, let me turn it over to Gary.
