SunOpta, Inc.

Greetings and welcome to SunOptis first quarter 2023 earnings conference call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. A question and answer session will follow the prepared remarks. As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. I would now like to turn the conference over to your host, Reid Anderson with ICR.

Thank you. You may begin.

Good afternoon, and thank you for joining us on Synopta's first quarter fiscal 2023 earnings conference call. On the call today are Joe Ennin, Chief Executive Officer, and Scott Hawkins, Chief Financial Officer. By now, everyone should have access to the earnings press release that was issued earlier this afternoon and is available on the investor license page of Synopta's website at www.synopta.com. This call is being webcast and transcription will also be available on the company's website. As a reminder, please note that the prepared remarks, which will follow, contain forward-looking statements, and management may make additional forward-looking statements in response to your questions. These statements do not guarantee future performance, and therefore, undue reliance should not be placed upon them. We refer you to all risk factors contained in Synopta's press release issued this afternoon, the company's annual report filed on Form 10-K, and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission For a more detailed discussion of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, those projections and any forward-looking statements. The company undertakes no obligation to publicly correct or update the forward-looking statements made during the presentation to reflect future events or circumstances, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. Finally, we'd like to remind listeners that the company may refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures during this teleconference. The reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures was included with the company's press release issued earlier today. Also, please note that unless otherwise stated, all figures discussed today are in U.S. dollars and are occasionally rounded to the nearest million. Please note, in the prepared remarks that follow, the company will generally exclude the impact of the divested sunflower business. I'd like to now turn the call over to Joe.
