Danimer Scientific, Inc.

Greetings. Welcome to the Dannemeyer Scientific 2023 Second Quarter Earnings Call. I would now like to turn the presentation over to Mr. James Pelzinski, the company's Investor Relations Representative.

James Pelzinski Thank you, operator.

Good afternoon, everyone, and thanks for joining us today for Dannemeyer Scientific's 2023 Second Quarter Earnings Call. Leading the call today will be Steve Crossgreave, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Mike Hajost, Chief Financial Officer. I'd like to note that there is a slide deck that accompanies today's discussion, which is available on the Investor Relations section of our website at danimerscientific.com. As we begin, I'll call your attention to the company's Safe Harbor language, which is published in our SEC filings and on slide two of the presentation I just referenced. On today's call, we may discuss forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 as amended. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements regarding future results of operations, including margins, profitability, capacity, production, customer programs, and market demand levels. Actual results could differ materially from what is expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements. The company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof, except as required by law. Today's presentation also includes references to non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of SEC Regulation G. We believe these non-GAAP measures have analytical value, but note that they should be taken as supplementary measures of performance and not as alternatives to GAAP results. We have provided reconciliations for non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures in our earnings release and our presentation. Thank you, and it's now my pleasure to turn the call over to Steve Crossgreet, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Dannemer Scientific.
