Welcome to the third quarter conference call for 2023.

Our Chief Financial Officer, Jack McGinnis, is with me today.

Jack will now cover the Safe Harbor language.

Thanks, Jack.

I'd like to open by sharing our sadness at the devastating terrorist attacks on Israel and the unfolding conflict. ManpowerGroup has operated in Israel for over 60 years. I have just spoken with our Israeli colleagues this morning to express our heartfelt support and thank them for working tirelessly to help those impacted and still run the day-to-day operations. Amid the suffering that is ongoing, I am in awe of their resilience and dedication to take care of each other, their families, our clients and associates during these extremely challenging times.
