Scott Dudley
Good morning, and welcome to Spire's fiscal 2023 year-end earnings call. We issued an earnings release this morning, and you may access it on our website at spireenergy.com under Newsroom. There is a slide presentation that accompanies our webcast, and you may download it from either the webcast site or from our website under Investors and then Events and Presentations.
Before we begin, let me cover our safe harbor statement and the use of non-GAAP earnings measures. Today's call, including responses to questions, may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Though our forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, there are various uncertainties and risk factors that may cause future performance or results to be different than those anticipated. These risks and uncertainties are outlined in our quarterly annual filings with the SEC.
In our comments, we will be discussing net economic earnings and contribution margin, which are both non-GAAP measures used by management, evaluating our performance and results of operations. Explanations and reconciliations of these measures to their GAAP counterparts are contained in both our news release and the slide presentation.
Presenting on the call today is Steven Lindsey, President and CEO; Steven Rasche, Executive Vice President and CFO. Also in the room today is Adam Woodard, Vice President, Treasurer and CFO of our gas utilities.
I also want to formally introduce Megan McPhail, recently joined Spire as Managing Director of Investor Relations. Megan brings 15 years of experience in the utility industry, including five years in Investor Relations. He is taking the reins as I will be retiring on March 1 of next year.
With that, I will turn the call over to Steve Lindsey.
