Welcome, everyone, to PowerSchool's earnings conference call for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024. I wanted to first let you know that we posted a slide deck to the Investor Relations section of our website that accompanies our remarks here. On the call today, we have Power Schools CEO, Hardeep Gulati; and President and CFO, Eric Shander.
Before getting started, I'd like to emphasize that this call, including the Q&A portion, will include statements related to the expected future results for our company which are, therefore, forward-looking statements.
Our actual results may differ materially from our projections due to a number of risks and uncertainties. The risks and uncertainties that forward-looking statements are subject to are described in our earnings release and other SEC filings. Today's remarks will also include references to non-GAAP financial measures.
Additional information, including definitions and reconciliations between non-GAAP financial information to the GAAP financial information is provided in the corresponding press release and results presentation, which are both posted on PowerSchool's Investor Relations website at investors.powerschool.com. A replay of this call will also be posted to the same website.
With that, let me now turn the call over to Hardeep.
Hardeep Gulati
