Good day, and welcome to the New Mountain Finance Corporation First Quarter 2023 Earnings Conference Call. All participants will be in listen-only mode. [Operator Instructions] Please note, this event is being recorded.

I would like now to turn the conference over to John Kline, President and CEO of New Mountain Finance. Please go ahead.

John Kline

Thank you, and good morning, everyone. Welcome to New Mountain Finance Corporation's first quarter 2024 earnings call.

On the line with me here today are Steve Klinsky, Chairman of NMFC and CEO of New Mountain Capital; Laura Holson, COO of NMFC; and Kris Corbett, CFO and Treasurer of NMFC. Laura is a little under the weather today, so she will not be making prepared remarks but will be available for Q&A. Now, Steve is going to make some introductory remarks, but before he does, I'd like to ask Kris to make some important statements regarding today's call.
