BrightView Holdings, Inc.

Good morning, and thank you for joining Brightview's fourth quarter and full year 2023 running call. Dale Laughlin, Brightview's president and chief executive officer, and Brett Irvin, chief financial officer, are on the call. I will now refer you to slide two of the presentation, which will also be found on our investor relations website, and which contains our State Barber's explainer. This call may include a little information that is subject to certain risks and uncertainties. In addition, during the call, we will refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures. Please see our 8K issue earlier this morning for reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures. I will now turn the call over to Dale.

Thank you, Chris, and good morning, everyone. I'm honored to join my first hearing call since being appointed Brightview's CEO in October. First,

I want to thank all of our employees for their efforts this past year. I'm proud to be joining a team that is motivated and committed to continuous improvement. In my first 45 days, I've spent a lot of time in the field and at the branches, meeting with employees and customers, immersing myself in all aspects of my review business. I have benefited a great deal from these interactions as they are opportunities to listen, to learn, and to build relationships. I look forward to meeting many more of our associates and partners in weeks and months to come. I will begin today's call on slide four by sharing some initial observations about the areas I'm focused on and some of my initial priorities.
