Thank you, Siya, and good morning, everyone. We appreciate you joining us today. ConnectOne just completed another solid year. We generated high quality earnings, achieved extraordinary organic growth, gained traction in our markets and continue to digitize our infrastructure.

As we think about our results, I'd like to emphasize our ongoing commitment to supporting our client's needs. Despite the ups and downs of interest rates or the economy, ConnectOne's client centric business model has continuously -- has continually served us well. And like I've always said, if we do that right and we do things for the right reasons, we can create long-term shareholder value.
