Nathan Iles
Chief Financial Officer

Thank you, Eric. Before we begin this morning, I'd like to remind everyone that some of the material we will be discussing today may include forward-looking statements regarding our business and expected financial results. When we use words like anticipate, believe, estimate, or expect, these are generally forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations requested in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, they are based on information currently available to us and certain assumptions made by us. and we cannot assure you that they will prove correct. You should also read our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a discussion of the risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements. I'll now turn the call over to Eric.
