Deluxe Corporation

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for standing by and welcome to the Deluxe Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Earnings Conference Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode, and today's call is being recorded. We will begin by opening remarks and introductions. At this time, I would like to turn the conference over to your host, Vice President of Investor Relations, Tom Morabito.

Please go ahead. Thank you, Operator, and welcome to the deluxe fourth quarter and full year 2022 earnings call.

Joining me on today's call is Barry McCarthy, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Chip Zint, our Chief Financial Officer. At the end of today's prepared remarks, we will take questions. Before we begin, and as seen on this slide, I'd like to remind everyone that comments made today regarding management's intentions, projections, financial estimates, or expectations about the company's future strategy or performance or forward-looking in nature, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Additional information about factors that may cause our actual results to differ from projections is set forth in the press release we furnished today, in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and in other company SEC filings. On the call today, we will discuss non-GAAP financial measures, including comparable adjusted revenue, adjusted and comparable adjusted EBITDA, adjusted and comparable adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted EPS, and free cash flow. To streamline discussion about ongoing business operations, today and going forward, we will discuss both revenue and EBITDA on a comparable adjusted basis, which will exclude the inconsistency caused by acquisitions or divestitures in the prior periods. For purposes of full year 2022, this will exclude the partial year impact of First American and impact of the divestitures done throughout the year. In our press release, our presentation, and our filings with the SEC, you will find additional disclosures regarding the non-GAAP measures, including reconciliations of these measures to the most comparable measures under U.S. GAAP. Also in the presentation, we are providing additional reconciliations of GAAP EPS to adjust the DPS, which should help with your modeling. Now I'll turn it over to Barry.
