Colby Synesael

Thank you, operator. Thanks also to everyone for joining the call today. I'm Colby Synesael, the EVP of Communications here at IHS. With me today are Sam Darwish, Chairman and CEO; and Steve Howden, our CFO. This morning we published our unaudited financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 with the SEC, which can also be found on the Investor Relations section of our website, and issued a related earnings release, presentation and supplemental deck. These are the consolidated results of HIS Holding Limited, which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol HIS, which comprises the entirety of the Group's operations.

Before we discuss the results, I would like to draw your attention to the disclaimer set out at the beginning of the presentation on Slide 2, which should be read in full along with the cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements set out in our earnings release and 6K filed as well today. In particular, the information to be discussed may contain forward-looking statements, which by their nature, involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other important factors, some of which are beyond our control that are difficult to predict and other factors, which may cause actual results, performance, or achievements, or industry results to be materially different from any future results performance, or achievements, or industry results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including those discussed in our risk section of our Form 20-F, followed by the Securities and Exchange Commission and our other filings with the SEC.

We'll also refer to non-IFRS measures, including adjusted EBITDA that we view as important in assessing the performance of our business and ALFCF that we view as important in assessing the liquidity of our business. Reconciliation of non-IFRS metrics to nearest IFRS metrics can be found in our earnings presentation, which is available on the Investor Relations section of our website.
