Hello, everyone. Thanks for taking the time to connect to our First Quarter 2023 Results Conference Call. This event is being recorded. Our speakers today will be our CEO, Mauricio Ramos; and our CFO, Sheldon Bruha. Following their prepared remarks, we will have a Q&A session.
By now, you should have received a copy of our earnings release, which is available on our website, along with the slides that we will be referencing during today's presentation. If you please turn to slide 2, you can see our safe harbor disclosure. We will be making forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties and could have a material impact on our results. We will also be referring to non-IFRS metrics throughout this presentation. We define these metrics on slide 3, and you can find a reconciliation of these in the back of our earnings release and on our website.
With those disclaimers out of the way, let me turn the call over to our CEO, Mauricio.
Mauricio Ramos
Good morning, and good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for joining us. Today is the International Day for Girls in Communications and Technology. As a member of the ITU, UNESCO Broadband Commission for Sustainable Development, I would like to celebrate this day and highlight the importance of empowering young women to pursue careers in ICT.
In that spirit, we're also celebrating today the anniversary of our own Conectadas digital platform. As we just saw in the short video, this program offers free training for women who want to acquire digital skills and apply those skills to their lives, their businesses and in their communities.
To-date more than 745,000 women have been trained since the launch of this program back in 2017. And as you know, we're a purpose-driven company. So we also make sure our success by how well we'll lead that to our purpose of building digital highways that connect people, develop communities and improve lives in the countries where we operate. With that, let's focus on the highlights for the quarter on slide 5.
Let's start with the obvious we're navigating through challenging macro and political environment in the countries we operate in, particularly Bolivia and Colombia. But we continue to execute very well during the quarter.
