Justin Ward

Thank you, Anthony and good morning, everyone. I would like to welcome everyone to Bruker Corporation's fourth quarter and full year 2022 earnings call. My name is Justin Ward and I am Bruker's Senior Director of Investor Relations and Corporate Development. Joining me on today's call are Frank Laukien, our President and CEO; and Gerald Herman, our Executive Vice President and CFO. In addition to the earnings release we issued earlier today, during today's call, we will be referencing a slide presentation that can be downloaded from the Events & Presentations section of Bruker's Investor Relations website. During today's call, we will be highlighting non-GAAP financial information. Reconciliations of our non-GAAP to GAAP financial measures are included in our earnings release and are posted on our website at ir.bruker.com.

Before we begin, I would like to reference Bruker's safe harbor statement which is shown on Slide 2 of the presentation. During this call, we will make forward-looking statements regarding future events and the financial and operational performance of the company that involve risks and uncertainties, including those related to elevated geopolitical and energy risk the COVID 19 pandemic, and supply chain logistics and inflation challenges. The company's actual results may differ materially from such statements. Factors that might cause such differences include but are not limited to those discussed in today's earnings release, and in our Form 10-K as updated by our other SEC filings, which are available on our website and on the SEC website.

Also note that the following information is based on current business conditions and to our outlook as of today, February 9, 2023. We do not intend to update our forward-looking statements based on new information, future events or for other reasons, except as may be required by law prior to the release of our first quarter 2023 financial results expected in early May 2023. You should not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views or outlook as of any date after today. We will begin today's call with Frank providing an overview of our business progress. Gerald will then cover the financials for the fourth quarter and full year 2022 in more detail, and he will share our fiscal year 2023 financial outlook.
