Good morning, and welcome to the Conduent Second Quarter 2023 Earnings Announcement. [Operator Instructions] As a reminder, this conference is being recorded.

At this time, I would like to hand the call over to Giles Goodburn, Vice President of Investor Relations. Thank you. You may begin.

Giles Goodburn

Thank you, operator, and thanks, everyone, for joining us today to discuss Conduent's Second Quarter 2023 Earnings.

We hope you had a chance to review our press release issued earlier this morning. Joining me today is Cliff Skelton, our President and CEO; and Steve Wood, our CFO.

Today's agenda is as follows: Cliff will provide an overview of our results and a business update. Steve will then walk you through the financials for the quarter as well as providing a financial outlook. Cliff will then provide his closing comments.

This call is being webcast, and a copy of the slides used during this call as well as the press release were filed with the SEC this morning on Form 8-K. This information as well as the detailed financial metrics package are available on the Investor Relations section of the Conduent website.

During this call, we may make statements that are forward looking. These forward-looking statements reflect management's current beliefs, assumptions and expectations and are subject to a number of factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those statements.

Information concerning these factors is included in Conduent's annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. We do not intend to update these forward-looking statements as a result of new information or future events or developments, except as required by law.

The information presented today includes non-GAAP financial measures. Because these measures are not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, they should be viewed in addition to and not as a substitute for the company's reported results.

For more information regarding definitions of our non-GAAP measures and how we use them as well as the limitation to their usefulness for comparative purposes, please see our press release.

And now I would like to turn the call over to Cliff.

Cliff Skelton

Thank you, Giles. Welcome, everyone, to Conduent's Q2 Earnings Call.

I'm joined by our CFO, Steve Wood, who will follow me with the financial and sales details. Today, I'm going to focus on 4 key messages. First, and importantly, will be a Q2 flyby, if you will. Q2 was a good quarter for us with puts and takes, but generally exceeding expectations.
