Operator

Good morning or good afternoon, all and welcome to the Sterling Fourth Quarter 2022 Earnings Call. My name is Adam and I'll be your operator for today. [Operator Instructions]

I will now hand the floor over to Judah Sokel, Head of Treasury and Investor Relations to begin. Judah, please go ahead, when you're ready.

Judah Sokel

Thank you, operator. Welcome to Sterling's fourth quarter and full year 2022 earnings call. Joining me today are Josh Peirez, Chief Executive Officer of Sterling; and Peter Walker, Chief Financial Officer of Sterling. The slides we will reference during this presentation can be accessed on Sterling's Investor Relations website under News and Events. The slides have been posted to our website and a replay will be made available on the website. After prepared remarks, we will open this call to questions.

Before we discuss our results, I encourage all listeners to review the legal notice on Slide 2, which explains the risks of forward-looking statements and the use of non-GAAP financial measures. Additionally, please refer to our most recent Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a discussion of risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements.

Our slide presentation and discussions on this call will include certain non-GAAP financial measures for such measures, reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are in the appendix to the presentation and in our earnings release issued this morning.

I'll now turn the call over to Josh Peirez.

Joshua Peirez

Thank you, Judah. Good morning, and thank you for joining us. Sterling's 2022 was a great year and I am very proud of the accomplishments and results the team delivered. Reflecting on the year, there is a lot to highlight. Slide 4 shows some of the key 2022 accomplishments, I'll talk about today. I'll be discussing our strategy to refresh, innovation, M&A and financial success before ending with our 2023 priorities. I'll then hand it over to Peter, for a more detailed analysis of our full year and fourth quarter results and to provide our 2023 guidance.
