Brian Norris

Thank you, Kevin, and good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to today's call.

I'm joined here today by Peter George, our President and Chief Executive Officer; and Mark Donohue, our Chief Financial Officer.

This afternoon after the market closed, we issued a press release announcing our fourth quarter 2023 results and our business outlook for 2024. This press release has been furnished with the SEC and is also available on the IR section of our website.

The format for today's call is as follows: Peter will share his thoughts on our performance in Q4 and 2023, and Mark will review our detailed financial results, provide a brief update on the regulatory front and share some thoughts on how we're thinking about 2024.

During today's call, we will make forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements relate to our current expectations and views of future events, including, but not limited to, statements regarding our future operations, growth and financial results, our potential for growth and ability to gain new customers, demand for our products and offerings, and our ability to meet our business outlook.

All forward-looking statements are subject to material risks, uncertainties and assumptions, some of which are beyond our control. Actual events or financial results may differ materially from these forward-looking statements because of a number of risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, the risk factors set forth under the caption Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which we filed with the SEC earlier today.

The forward-looking statements made today represent our views as of February 29, 2024. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that future results, performance or the events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements will be achieved or will occur. Except as may be required by applicable law, we disclaim any obligation to update them to reflect future events or circumstances.
