Laila Kalantari

Welcome to ACCESS Newswire's First Quarter 2026 Earnings Conference Call. My name is Laila Kalantari, and I am a Product Manager here at ACCESS Newswire. I have been with the company since 2022, initially from the newswire.com business, where I was a part of the PR Optimizer team, helping customers craft and amplify their stories. Now I'm a part of the product team where I help ideate and shape some of the most exciting tools at the core of our industry's need.

I also have been involved with our amazing EDU program, training professors and bringing our product to over 100 universities and thousands of students. My time here at ACCESS has flown by, and I could not be more excited about what's in store for our customers, our company and myself as we all continue to get better every day.

Before we begin, I'd like to remind everyone that statements made in this conference call concerning future revenues, results from operations, financial position, markets, economic conditions, product releases, partnerships and any other statements that may be construed as predictions of future performance or events are forward-looking statements.

These statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. We will also discuss certain non-GAAP financial measures, which are provided for informational purposes and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for GAAP results.
