Good morning and welcome to Brett's conference call to discuss our results for the first quarter ended March 31st, 2022. Before we get started, please note that we may make forward-looking statements about our business and financial performance. Each forward-looking statement is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Additional information regarding these risks and uncertainties appears in our SEC filings, including the Form 8-K file today containing the earnings release and our 2021 Form 10-K. Any forward-looking statements that we make on this call are based on assumptions as of today, and we undertake no obligation to update them as a result of new information or future events. We may also reference certain non-GAAP financial measures. Information about any non-GAAP measure reference, including a reconciliation of those measures to GAAP measures, can be found on our website, along with the slides that we will use as part of today's discussion. Finally, nothing herein shall be deemed to be an offer or solicitation to buy any investment products. Surin Rana, our President and Chief Executive Officer, will leave the call. And now I'm pleased to turn the call over to Surin.

Surin? Thanks, Ali. Good morning, everyone.
