Please stand by. Your conference is about to begin. Good day and welcome to the third quarter 2023 Walker & Dunlop Incorporated Earnings Call. Today's conference is being recorded. At this time I'd like to turn the conference over to Kelsey Duffey, Senior Vice President of Investor Relations. Please go-ahead ma'am.

Kelsey Duffey

Thank you, Melinda. Good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining Walker & Dunlop's third quarter 2023 earnings call. I have with me this morning our Chairman and CEO, Willy Walker and our CFO, Greg Florkowski.

This call is being webcast live on our website and a recording will be available later today. Both our earnings press release and website provide details on accessing the archive webcast. This morning we posted our earnings release and presentation to the Investor Relations section of our website, www.walker.com. These slides serve as a reference point for some of what Willy and Greg will touch on during the call. Please note during the call that we will reference the non-GAAP financial metrics, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted core EPS.

Please refer to the appendix of the earnings presentation for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial metrics. Investors are urged to carefully read the forward-looking statements language in our earnings release. Statements made on this call, which are not historical facts, may be deemed forward-looking statements within the meeting of the private securities litigation reform act of 1995. Forward-looking statements describe our current expectations and actual results may differ materially.

Walker & Dunlop is under no obligation to update or alter our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, and we expressly disclaim any obligation to do so. More detailed information about risk factors can be found on our annual and quarterly reports filed with the SEC.

I will now turn the call over to Willy.

Willy Walker

Thank you, Kelsey, and good morning, everyone.

I'd like to start this call as I have several Walker webcasts highlighting the trauma and concern that many of our Jewish colleagues and clients have experienced since the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel. These are exceptionally challenging times with great concern for the state of Israel, its people, and the Palestinians caught in the war on Hamas. We continue to support our colleagues and clients in any and all ways we can, as well, there is no place in a free society for discrimination or anti-semitic behavior, and we must be vigilant in stopping it out anywhere it arises.
