Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for standing by and welcome to The Amalgamated Financial Corporation First Quarter 2022 Earnings Conference Call. During today’s presentation all parties will be in a listen-only mode. Following the presentation, the conference will be opened for questions with instructions to follow at that time. As a reminder, this conference call is being recorded.

I would now like to turn the call over to Mr. Jason Darby, Chief Financial Officer. Please go ahead, sir.

Jason Darby

Thank you, operator, and good morning, everyone. We appreciate your participation in our first quarter

2022 earnings call. With me today, is Priscilla Sims Brown, President and Chief Executive Officer.

As a reminder, a telephonic replay of this call will be available in the Investors section of our website for an extended period of time.

Additionally, a slide deck to complement today’s discussion is also available on the Investors section of our website.

Before we begin, let me remind everyone that this call may contain certain statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We caution investors that actual results may differ from the expectations indicated or implied by any such forward-looking statements or information.

Investors should refer to Slide 2 and 3 of our earnings slide deck, as well as our 2021, 10-K filed on March 11, 2022 for a list of risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated or implied by such statements.

Additionally, during today's call, we will discuss certain non-GAAP measures, which we believe are useful in evaluating our performance. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures can be found in our earnings release, as well as on our website.

Let me now turn the call over to Priscilla.

Priscilla Sims Brown
