Thanks, Chris. Good morning.

As I review 2022, our successful year was a year of major accomplishments that significantly strengthened our company. We finished a strong fourth quarter with an enhanced management team that is laser-focused on strategic decisions that will impact long-term performance and value.

The overall condition of our company, as we begin 2023, positions us very well to take advantage of our markets in a meaningful way. Our strength starts with our executive team and filters throughout our organization across all of our markets in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi. This is reinforced this year with Origin being recognized as the second best bank to work for in the country by American Banker. We take great pride in our culture and the competitive differences it creates.
