Dominic Paschel

Thank you, Abby, and thank you all for joining us today for Forge’s second quarter 2022 earnings call. Joining me today are Kelly Rodriques, Forge’s CEO; and Mark Lee, Forge’s CFO. They will share prepared remarks regarding the quarter results, and then take your questions at the end.

Just after market close today, we issued a press release announcing Forge’s second quarter financial results. This conference call is being webcast live and will be available for replay 30 days, beginning about one hour after the conclusion of the call. There’s also accompanying investor presentation on our Investor Relation page. During the course of this call, we may make forward-looking statements based on current expectations, forecast and projections of today’s date.

Any forward-looking statements that we make are subject to various risks and uncertainty, and there are important factors that could cause actual outcomes to differ materially from those included in statements. We discuss these risk factors in our SEC filings, including in our quarterly report form on 10-Q for this quarter, which we will file soon and can be found on the IR site as well. As a reminder, we are not required to update 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 on the IR website. Today’s discussion will focus on the second quarter of 2022. As always, we encourage you to value Forge’s performance on an annual basis, as well as quarterly results can be affected by unexpected events outside our control.
