Thank you, operator and thank you everybody for joining. Earlier today, Aqua Metals issued a press release providing an operational update and discussing financial results for the third quarter ended September 30th, 2023. This release is available on the Investor Relations section of the company's website at aquametals.com.
Hosting the call today are Steve Cotton, President and Chief Executive Officer; and Judd Merrill, Chief Financial Officer.
Before we begin, I would like to remind participants that during the call, management will be making forward-looking statements. Please refer to the company's report on Form 10-K filed March 9th or Form 10-Q filed today, November 8th, for a summary of the forward-looking statements and the risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those forward-looking statements.
Aqua Metals cautions investors not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. The company does not undertake and specifically disclaims any obligation to update or revise such statements to reflect new circumstances or unanticipated events as they occur except as required by law.
As a reminder, after the formal remarks, we will be taking questions. [Operator Instructions] We will take as many questions as we can in our available time slot.
And with that, I'd like to turn the call over to Steve Cotton, CEO of Aqua Metals. Steve, the call is yours.
Steve Cotton
Thank you, Bob and thank you to everyone who joined us today. Our strategy focus is paying off as we have made significant progress in commercializing our innovative technology. This strategy honed on lessons learned as the industry has matured is based on self-sustainability and measured growth.
The rechargeable battery industry is still in its early stages and is susceptible to growth in the electrification of cars, the slow expansion of a charging infrastructure, and technological innovation and batteries themselves. The overall trajectory, however, remains steep. But short-term fluctuations in growth rates, investments and commercialization are to be expected.
