Our call today includes forward-looking statements.
The company cautions investors that any forward-looking statement involves risks and uncertainties, and it is not a guarantee of future performance. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors. These factors are described in forward-looking statements in our earnings press release and in our most recent 10-Q and 10-K filed with the SEC.
We do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements. Also in our prepared remarks or responses to questions, we may mention some non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliation to those non-GAAP measures are included in our recent earnings press release, operating supplement and other materials available in the Investors section on our website, octavegroup.com.
Now we would like to turn the call over to Mr. Claude LeBlanc: Thank you, Karen, and good morning, everyone. I am pleased to report that Octave Group delivered another strong quarter, reflecting continued momentum across our platform and disciplined execution against our strategic priorities.
