Thank you, and good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for joining us for our 2023 second quarter earnings call. I'm joined today by Ouster's Chief Executive Officer, Angus Pacala; and Chief Financial Officer, Mark Weinswig.

Before we begin the prepared remarks, we would like to remind you that earlier today Ouster issued a press release announcing its second quarter 2023 results. The company also published an investor presentation, which is available on the Investor Relations section of ouster.com.

I’d also like to remind everyone that during the course of this conference call, Ouster's management will discuss certain forward-looking information regarding the company, including forecasts, targets, statements from its press release, potential future customer orders, and shipments, near and long-term revenue opportunities, strategic customer agreements, market share trends, anticipated synergies from the company’s merger with Velodyne, ability to recognize the benefits of cost savings initiatives, future products and release states, anticipated benefits and applications of new product releases, manufacturing expectations, technological advancements and commercial paths, potential future market opportunities, customer traction and the company’s business outlook and third quarter 2023 financial guidance and trajectory are forward-looking statements that are intended to be covered by the Safe Harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for forward-looking statements.

There is no guarantee that such plans, estimates, and expectations will be achieved. Thus, while these statements represent management’s expected future results, and performance, Ouster's actual results are subject to several risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations that we may share with you today.
