Thank you, Olivia, and good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining the Harvard Bioscience fourth quarter 2023 earnings conference call.

Before we begin, I would like to suggest that you take a moment and download a copy of our presentation that will be referred to during this call. The file is entitled Q4 2023 HBIO Quarterly Earnings Presentation and is located in the Investor Overview/Events & Presentations section of our website.

Leading the call today will be Jim Green, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Jennifer Cote, Chief Financial Officer. Before I turn the call over to Jim, I will read our safe harbor statement.

In our discussion today, we may make statements that constitute forward-looking statements. Our actual results and performance may differ materially from what we have projected due to risks and uncertainties, including those described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2022, our subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and our other public filings. Any forward-looking statements, including those related to the company's future results and activities, represent our estimates as of today and should not be relied upon as representing our estimates as of any subsequent day.

Also much of today's call will focus on our non-GAAP quarterly results, which we believe that it represents the ongoing economics of the business, reflects how we set and measure our incentive compensation plans and how we manage the business internally. The differences between our GAAP and non-GAAP results are outlined in the earnings release and today's presentation. These two documents as well as a replay of this call can be found on our website under Investor Overview/Events & Presentations.
