Good day and welcome to the DISH Network Q1 2022 Conference Call. Today's conference is being recorded.

At this time, I'd like to turn the conference over to Mr. Messner. Please go ahead sir.

Tim Messner

All right. Thanks Justin. Good morning everyone and thanks for joining us. We're joined on the call today by Charlie Ergen, our Chairman; Erik Carlson, our CEO; and Paul Rubin, our CFO. On the wireless side, we've got Tom Cullen, EVP of Corporate Development; Stephen Bye, our Chief Commercial Officer. And we have John Swieringa, President and COO of Wireless.

And as always before we start I need to remind you of our safe harbors. During this call, we may make forward-looking statements which are subject to risks uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ from historical results or from our forecast. We assume no responsibility for updating forward-looking statements. For more information on factors that may affect future results, please refer to our SEC filings.

And with that, I'd like to turn it over to Erik for opening remarks.

Erik Carlson

Thank you, Tim and welcome everyone and thanks for being here today. As many of you are aware, we have an Analyst Day on Tuesday, May 10th where we're going to go into more depth on our wireless plans. And a link to watch the live webcast will be on our Investor Relations website. As for today, we're going to try to keep it short. But I'm going to begin with a few brief comments before opening it up to your questions.

In regard to subscribers for all of our brands, we simply didn't execute according to our expectations. However, we did exercise good financial discipline. We continue to make progress on other fronts and I'm pleased to report that our wireless network build is on track.
