Thank you, Jason, and good morning, everyone. I would like to thank you for joining us today for New Residential’s fourth quarter 2021 earnings call. Joining me today are Michael Nierenberg, chairman, CEO and president of New Residential; and Nick Santoro, chief financial officer of New Residential. Also with us today are Baron Silverstein, president; and Jordan Licht, chief operating officer of New Res and Caliber.
Throughout the call, we are going to reference the earnings supplement posted to the New Residential website this morning. If you have not already done so, I’d encourage you to download the presentation now. I would like to point out that certain statements today will be forward-looking statements. These statements, by their nature, are uncertain and may differ materially from actual results.
I encourage you to review the disclaimers in our press release and earnings supplement regarding forward-looking statements and review the risk factors contained in our annual and quarterly reports filed with the SEC. In addition, we will be discussing some non-GAAP financial measures during today’s call. Reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures can be found in our earnings supplement. And with that, I will turn the call over to Michael.
Michael Nierenberg — Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, and President
