Hello and welcome to the IAS 2022 First Quarter Financial Results Conference Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. After the speaker presentation, there will be a question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions]

It is now my pleasure to introduce Jonathan Schaffer, Head of Investor Relations at IAS.

Jonathan Schaffer

Thank you. Good afternoon and welcome to the IAS 2022 first quarter financial results conference call. I'm joined today by Lisa Utzschneider, CEO; and Joe Pergola, CFO.

Before we begin, please note that today's call contains forward-looking statements. We refer you to the company's filings with the SEC for more details about important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations.

On today's call, we will also refer to non-GAAP measures. A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is contained in today's earnings release available on the company's IR site, investor.integralads.com.

So, with these formalities out of the way, I'd now like to turn the call over to our CEO, Lisa Utzschneider. Lisa, you may begin.

Lisa Utzschneider
