Badger Meter, Inc.

As a reminder, today's conference is being recorded. It is now my pleasure to turn the conference over to Karen Bauer, Vice President of Investor Relations, Corporate Strategy, and Treasurer.

Good morning, and thank you for joining the Badger Meter third quarter 2023 earnings conference call. On the call with me today are Ken Bockhorst, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, and Bob Rockledge, Chief Financial Officer. The earnings release and related slide presentation are available on our website. Quickly, I will cover the safe harbor, reminding you that any forward-looking statements made during this call are subject to various risks and uncertainties, the most important of which are outlined in our press release and SEC filings. On today's call, we will refer to certain non-GAAP financial metrics. Our earnings slides provide a reconciliation of the GAAP to non-GAAP financial metrics used. With that, I'll turn the call over to Ken.

Thanks, Karen, and thank you for joining our third quarter earnings call. The Badger Meter team delivered another record quarter with continued strong sales, operating profit, and EPS growth year over year. Demand for our differentiated and tailorable digital smart water solutions remains robust, and improving supply chain dynamics allowed us to make modest headway into the elevated backlog. I want to thank all of our employees for their focused efforts in serving our customers. I'll provide an update on the macro environment and market outlook later in the call. For now, I'll turn it over to Bob to go through the details of the course.
