Hello. My name is Mallory, and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the Forge Global First Quarter Financial Results Conference Call. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After the speakers' remarks, there will be a question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions].

Thank you. I would now like to turn the conference over to Dominic Paschel, Head of Investor Relations. Please go ahead.

Dominic Paschel

Awesome. Thank you, Marie, and thank you, all for joining us today for Forge's first quarter 2023 earnings call. Joining me today are Kelly Rodrigues, Forge's CEO; and Mark Lee, Forge's CFO. They will share prepared remarks regarding the quarter's results and then take questions at the end.

Just after the market closed today, we issued a press release announcing Forge's first quarter fiscal year 2023 financial results. A discussion of our results today is complementary to the press release, which is available on the Investor Relations page of our website. This conference call is being webcast live and will be available for replay.

There is also an accompanying investor presentation on our IR page. During this conference call, we may make forward-looking statements, based on current expectations, forecasts, and projections as of today's date. Any forward-looking statements that we make are subject to various risks, and uncertainties, and there are important factors that could cause these actual outcomes to differ materially from those included in the statements.

We discuss these factors in our SEC filings, including our quarterly report on Form 10-Q, which we also published recently. As a reminder, we are not required to update our forward-looking statements.

In our presentation today, unless otherwise noted, we will be discussing adjusted financial measures, which are non-GAAP measures that we believe are meaningful when evaluating the company's performance. For detailed disclosures on these measures and the GAAP reconciliations, you should refer to the financial data contained within our press release, which is also posted on the IR page.

Additionally, we have posted our first quarter supplemental information which we believe is helpful to understand the business. Today's discussion will focus on the first quarter 2023 results. As always, we encourage you to value both annual and quarterly results for a full picture of Forge's performance, which can be affected by unexpected events that are outside our control.
