As a reminder, this conference is being recorded for replay purposes. It is now my pleasure to introduce Mr. Ron Hagan, Vice President, Investor Relations. You may proceed, sir.

Thank you, and good morning.

Joining me today are Jason Paget, President and Chief Executive Officer, Brian Limmerman, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Katie Hill, Vice President, Operations, as well as additional members of our management team. During today's call, we'll be making forward-looking statements. These statements, including those describing our beliefs, goals, expectations, forecasts, and assumptions, are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Our actual results may differ from these forward-looking statements for a variety of reasons, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, we'll be making reference to non-GAAP financial measures Reconciliations to GAAP financial measures are included in the press release and presentation we issued yesterday, detailing our financial and operating results for second quarter 2023.
