Todd Diggins

Good morning and thank you for joining us to discuss Unitil Corporation's first quarter 2023 financial results. Speaking on the call today will be Tom Meissner, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer; and Dan Hurstak, Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. Also with us today are Bob Hevert, President and Chief Administrative Officer; and Chris Goulding, Vice President, Finance and Regulatory Services.

We will discuss financial and other information on this call. As we mentioned in the press release announcing this call, we have posted information including a presentation to the Investors section of our website at unitil.com. We will refer to that information during this call.

Moving to Slide 2, the comments made today about future operating results or events are forward-looking statements under the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements inherently involve risks and uncertainties that can cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted. Statements made on this call should be considered together with cautionary statements and other information contained in the most recent annual report on Form 10-K and other documents we have filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements speak only as of today, and we assume no obligation to update them.

This presentation contains non-GAAP financial measures. The accompanying supplemental information more fully describes these non-GAAP financial measures and includes a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP financial measures. The company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating its performance.

With that, I will now turn the call over to Chairman and CEO, Tom Meissner.

Tom Meissner

Great. Thanks, Todd, and good morning, everyone. Thanks for joining us today. Before I begin the presentation, I did want to highlight some recent organizational changes that you probably took note of during Todd's introduction. First, I'm pleased to announce that Bob Hevert has taken on expanded responsibilities within the company and will assume the role of President and Chief Administrative Officer. Stepping into Bob's former role as Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer is Dan Hurstak who joins us on the call today. Todd Diggins has been appointed Chief Accounting Officer and Controller, the position formerly held by Dan.
