Thank you for standing by, and welcome to the MarketWise First Quarter 2022 Earnings Call.

I'd now like to hand the conference over to Jonathan Shanfield, Head of Investor Relations at MarketWise. Thank you. Please go ahead.

Jonathan Shanfield

Thank you, and good morning. Thanks for joining us on today's conference call to discuss MarketWise's First Quarter 2022 Financial Results. On the call today, we have Mark Arnold, our Chief Executive Officer; and Dale Lynch, our Chief Financial Officer. During the course of today's call, we may make forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements regarding our guidance and future financial performance, market demand, growth prospects, business strategies and plans and our ability to attract and retain customers. These forward-looking statements are based on management's current views and assumptions and should not be relied upon as of any subsequent date, and we disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statements. Actual results may vary materially from today's statements. Information concerning our risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause results to differ from these forward-looking statements are contained in the company's SEC filings, earnings press release and supplemental information posted on the Investors section of the company's website.

Our discussion today will include certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or in isolation from GAAP measures. Reconciliations to non-GAAP measures can be found in our earnings press release and SEC filings.

Now I'll turn the call over to Mark.

Mark Arnold

Thanks, Jon, and good morning, everybody. Welcome to our first quarter earnings call. Before we get into the financial results for the quarter, I'd like to talk a bit about some of the dynamics that we're seeing in the markets and in our business right now. At MarketWise, our vision is to be the platform of choice for the self-directed investor. And to that end, our relationship with our subscribers is of the utmost importance, and we believe it's our greatest asset. That is why at times like these when we are seeing disruptive forces in the financial markets, we seek to provide the subscribers with the research and tools that they need to navigate the current situation.
