Badger Meter, Inc.

I'll be coordinating your call today. During the presentation, you can register to ask a question by pressing star followed by one on your telephone keypad. If you change your mind, press star followed by two. It is now my pleasure to turn the conference over to Karen Bauer, Vice President of Investor Relations, Corporate Strategy and Treasures. Please go ahead, Ms. Bauer.

Good morning, and thank you for joining the Badger Meter first quarter 2024 earnings conference call. On the call with me today are Ken Bockhorst, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, and Bob Roglic, 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 first quarter earnings call. We began 2024 extending our 2023 track record of solid execution and differentiated financial performance delivering record revenue, operating profit, and EPS results for the first quarter. Early in the quarter, we completed the Telog and Unity network monitoring acquisition, adding to our suite of smart water offerings along with onboarding their talented team. Early discussions with customers reinforced their trust in Badger Meter to bring them complementary hardware-enabled software solutions. I'll come back to discuss a few common investor topics in our outlook later in the call, but for now, I'll turn it over to Bob to go through the details of the quarter.
