Great. Thank you very much, Paul, and good morning. And welcome to our first quarter of fiscal year 2024 earnings conference call. We're looking forward to sharing with you Tetra Tech's first quarter results and how we're building on our record-breaking 2023 performance. We just celebrated our first year since the RPS group joined us, and we couldn't be happier with their successful transition into the greater Tetra Tech. As a pure play global leader in high-end water and environmental consulting, our future outlook is strong. It speaks to the success of our strategy to focus on the entire full water cycle. And you're going to hear a lot more about this today from both Jill Hutkins and from Leslie Shoemaker. Our leading with science approach is led by our talented workforce of scientists, data analysts, and engineers who leverage our Tetra Tech Delta digital tool solutions and performing their work every day. Our Delta technologies not only include analytic tools that make us best in class, but also includes software and applications that are being subscribed to by our clients. Based on our strong first quarter and the outlook that we see for the rest of the fiscal year we've raised our full year guidance for net revenue and increased earnings per share guidance to reflect a 20% growth rate year over year. And while we report our financials on a US GAAP basis for our international investors we've included some IFR metrics for their reference. I'll begin with an overview of the quarter. Steve Burdick, our Chief Financial Officer, will provide an overview of our financial performance and our capital allocation strategy. And Jill Hudkins and Dr. Leslie Shoemaker are going to provide today an overview of our differentiated water services.

Our first quarter results build on the record performance results that we had just last year.
