Ian Webber

Thank you very much. Good morning. Good afternoon, everybody. Welcome to the Global company's second quarter 2022 earnings conference call. The slides that accompany today's presentation are available on our website at www.globalshiplease.com. Slide 2 and 3 of that presentation remind you that today's call may include forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations and assumptions and are by their nature inherently uncertain and outside of the company's control.

Actual results may differ materially from these forward-looking statements due to many factors, including those described in the safe harbor section of the slide presentation. We also draw your attention to the risk factors section of our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F, which is for 2021 and was filed with the SEC on March the 24 this year. You can obtain this via on our website or via the SEC. All of my statements are qualified by these and other disclosures in our reports filed with the SEC. We do not undertake any duty to update forward-looking statements.

For reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to which we will refer during this call to the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. You should refer to the earnings release that we issued this morning, which is also available on our website. As usual, I'm joined today by our Executive Chairman, George Youroukos; our Chief Financial Officer, Tassos Psaropoulos; and our Chief Commercial Officer, Tom Lister. George will begin the call with a high level commentary on GSL and our industry. And then Tassos, Tom and I will take you through our recent activity, quarterly results, and financials, current market environment, after which we'd be pleased to take your questions.
