Thank you, operator, and good morning everyone. Welcome to Nikola Corporation's fourth quarter and full-year 2022 earnings and business update call. With me today are Michael Lohscheller, Chief Executive Officer; and Kim Brady, Chief Financial Officer.
The press release detailing our financial and business results was distributed shortly after 9:00 A.M. Eastern Time this morning. The release can be found on the Investor Relations section of our Web site, along with presentation slides accompanying today's call.
Today's discussions include references to non-GAAP measures. These measures are reconciled to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures and can be found at the end of the Q4 earnings press release we issued today. Today's discussions also include forward-looking statements about our future expectations and plans. Actual results may differ materially from those stated, and factors that could cause actual results to differ are also explained at the end of today's earnings press release and on page two of our earnings call deck. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. You are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
After the video presentation, Michael and Kim Brady will give their prepared remarks, followed by analysts' Q&A, then we will conclude with questions from our shareholders.
We will now begin the video presentation.

Thank you, Dhillon, and good morning, everyone. Nikola is much more than just a truck company. Yes, we have successfully launched the Nikola Tre BEV in March of '22, and now on track to launch the first FCEV Class 8 in the second half of this year. But we offer much more than just zero-emission trucks to our customers. We believe we are the only commercial EV company offering integrated mobility solution consisting of trucks and energy. With that goal in mind, we made a lot of positive changes in the fourth quarter of 2022, and are laying the building blocks for the commercialization of both truck deliveries and our hydrogen business.
