Good day, and welcome to the IHS Holdings Limited Earnings Results Call for the 3-month and Full Year period ended December 31, 2022. Please note that today's conference is being webcast and recorded. [Operator Instructions]. At this time, I'd like to turn the conference over to Colby Synesael. Please go ahead, sir.

Colby Synesael

Thank you, operator. Thanks also to everyone for joining the call today. I'm Colby Synesael, the EVP of Communications here at IHS. With me today are Sam Darwish, our Chairman and CEO; and Steve Howden, our CFO.

This morning, we filed our annual report on Form 20-F for the full year ended December 31, 2022, with the SEC, which can also be found on the Investor Relations section of our website and issued a related earnings release and presentation. These are the consolidated results of IHS Holding Ltd, which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol IHS, which compromises the entirety of the group's operations.

First, we apologize for having to reschedule our earnings call to today. But as our announcement noted, it was important that we took the extra time to complete our year-end closing process procedures, particularly relating to the integration of recent acquisitions.

Second, and before we discuss the results, I would like to draw your attention to the disclaimers set up at the beginning of the presentation on Slide 2, which should be read in full, along with the cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements set out in the earnings release and Form 20-F filed as well today. In particular, the information to be discussed may contain forward-looking statements, which, by their nature, involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors, some of which are beyond our control that are difficult to predict and, other factors which may cause actual results, performance or achievements or industry results to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements or industry results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including those discussed in the Risk Factors section of our Form 20-F filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and our other filings filed with the SEC.
