Good morning, and welcome to the Nikola Corporation Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Earnings and Business Update Call. Currently, all participants are in listen-only mode. We begin today's call with a short video presentation, followed by management's prepared remarks. A brief question-and-answer session will follow the prepared remarks. [Operator Instructions] As a reminder, this conference is being recorded.

It is my pleasure to introduce Dhillon Sandhu, Head of Investor Relations. Please go ahead.

Dhillon Sandhu

Thank you, operator and good morning, everyone. Welcome to Nikola Corporation's fourth quarter and full year 2023 earnings and business update call.

Joining me today are Steve Girsky, President CEO; and Brian De Hoog, Corporate Controller.

A press release detailing our financial and business results was distributed earlier this morning. This release can be found on the Investor Relations section of our website, along with presentation slides accompanying today's call.

Today's discussion includes references to non-GAAP measures. These measures are reconciled to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures and can be found at the end of the Q4 earnings press release we issued today. Today's discussion also includes forward-looking statement about our future results, expectations and plans.

Actual results may differ materially from those stated and some factors that could cause actual results to differ are also explained at the end of today's earnings press release and on Page 2 of our earnings call deck and also in our filings with the SEC.

Forward-looking statement speak only as of the date on which they're made. You are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statement. After the video presentation, Steve and Brian will provide their prepared remarks, followed by analysts Q&A, then we will conclude with questions from our stockholders.

Please begin the video presentation. Thank you.
