Maddie Milton, Senior Director of Investor Relations Thank you, and good afternoon.

Before we begin our formal remarks, I need to remind everyone that part of our discussion today may include forward-looking statements which are based on expectations, estimates, and projections of management.

As of today, forward-looking statements in our discussions are subject to various assumptions, risks, and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements.

These statements are not guarantees of future performance and therefore undue reliance should not be placed on them.

We refer you all to our recent SEC filings for a more detailed discussion of risks and uncertainties that could impact future operating results and financial condition of Goosehead Insurance.

We disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, except to the extent required by applicable law.

I would also like to point out that during this call we will discuss certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in planning, monitoring, and evaluating our performance.

We consider these non-GAAP financial measures to be useful metrics for management and investors to facilitate operating performance comparisons period to period by including potential differences caused by variations in capital structure, tax position, depreciation, amortization, and certain other items that we believe are not representative of our core business.

For more information regarding the use of non-GAAP financial measures, including reconciliations of these measures to the most recent comparable GAAP financial measures, we refer you to today's earnings release.

In addition, this call is being webcast, and an archived version will be made available shortly after the call ends on the Investor Relations portion of the company's website at goosehead.com.

Now I'd like to turn the call over to our CEO, Mark Miller.

Mark Miller, President and CEO Thanks, Mattie, and good afternoon, everyone.
