Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the Lindblad Expeditions Report 2023 Third Quarter Financial Results. My name is Chach, and I'll be the coordinator for your call today. [Operator Instructions]

I would now like to hand over the call to Craig Felenstein, Chief Financial Officer, to begin. Please go ahead.

Craig Felenstein

Thank you, operator. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us for Lindblad's 2023 third quarter earnings call. With me on the call today is Sven-Olof Lindblad, Lindblad's Founder and Chief Executive Officer; Sven will begin with some opening comments, and then I will follow with some details on our financial results, balance sheet and current 2023 expectations before we open the call for Q&A. You can find our latest earnings release in the Investor Relations section of our website. Before we get started, let me remind everyone that the company's comments today may include forward-looking statements.

Those expectations are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results and performance to be materially different from these expectations. The company cannot guarantee the accuracy of any forecast or estimates, and we undertake no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. If you would like more information on the risks involved in forward-looking statements, please see the company's SEC filings. In addition, our comments may reference non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and other associated disclosures are contained in the company's earnings release.

And with that out of the way, let me turn the call over to Sven.

Sven-Olof Lindblad

Thank you, Craig, and good morning, everybody, and thank you for joining us.

Craig will discuss our record financial results in a moment. But before he does, I would like to take a few minutes to discuss some momentum across our operations, along with where we are focused as a company to further take advantage of the earnings potential of our platform and the growing demand for experiential travel.

When I returned to CEO in June, I made it clear to the organization that we have three key priorities. First, as has been the number one principle since we founded the company back in 1979, ensure that everything we do elevates and enhances the guest experience.
