Forward-looking statements include statements concerning financial and business trends, expectations regarding the integration of acquisitions into our business and growth opportunities, and synergies arising from such acquisitions. our expected future business and financial performance and financial condition, and our guidance for the second quarter and fiscal year 2022. N can be identified by words such as expect, anticipate, intend, plan, believe, seek, or will. These statements reflect our views as of today only, should not be relied upon as representing our views at any subsequent date, and we do not undertake any duty to update these statements. Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are subject to risk and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations. For discussion of the material risks and other important factors that could affect our actual results, please refer to the risks discussed in today's press release, our amended annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission after market closed today, and our other periodic filings with the SEC. During the call, we will also discuss non-GAAP financial measures, which are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

With that, let me turn the call over to Scott.
