Thank you, Sarah, and good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to YEXT Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2022 Conference Call. With me today are Chairman Mike Walrath, CEO Howard Luhrmann, CFO Steve Cakebread, and Chief Accounting Officer Darrell Bond. Before we begin, I'd like to remind everyone that this call may contain forward-looking statements. including statements about revenue, non-GAAP net loss, growth of our business, our management and governance plans, gross margins, operating margins, net dollar-based retention, capital expenditures, and other non-historical statements as further described in our press release. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including those related to Yext's growth, the evolution of our industry, our product development and success, our management performance, and general economic and business conditions, such as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. We undertake no obligation to revise any statements to reflect changes that occur after this call. Descriptions of these and other risks that could cause actual results to have a material difference from these forward-looking statements are discussed in our reports filed with the SEC, including our most recent quarterly and annual reports and our press release that was issued this afternoon. During the call, we also referred to non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of the most comparable GAAP measures are also available in the press release, which is available at investors.yex.com. With that, I would like to turn the call over to Howard.

Howard? Thank you, Jeff. Since we founded this company in 2006, we've been focused on helping businesses and organizations around the world be the authoritative source of delivering their business information everywhere people search. Starting with the power of listings, we created products that help companies build their companies, and most recently with answers. We help our clients leverage the power of AI-based search technology to provide perfect answers everywhere. Yext has become a powerful AI-based search platform. working with many of the world's most notable brands. I am proud of how far we have come. Today, it's time for me and Yext to take the next step in our journey. Mike Walrath will succeed me as CEO. Mike has been part of Yext's evolution since 2009, when he joined the board. And since 2011, Mike has helped guide the company as chairman of the board. Before he joined the board, Mike built an innovative technology company called Right Media that he sold to Yahoo, where he managed a team of more than 4,000 people globally. In addition to Right Media, Mike helped build other high-growth software companies, including Moat, which was acquired by Oracle. He has a track record of creating value, solid experience running complicated businesses at scale, and Mike believes in our vision. Mike can provide a fresh perspective on products, solutions, and successfully lead Yext into the future. With that, I'll turn the call over to Mike to share some of his thoughts as he steps into the role.
