And now I'll turn the call over to Brad. Thank you, Justin. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us. It's a pleasure to be here for my first earnings call as ATN CEO. I'll begin covering highlights from our Q4 and fiscal year 2023 performance and progress executing our strategy. Following that, Justin will review our financials in more detail and provide an update on our 2024 guidance. This is a significant time in ATN's journey. We've entered the third and final year of our strategic investment plan to expand the reach and capability of our high-speed networks and to bring more high-speed data services to remote and underserved consumers and businesses. The investments we are making position ATN to continue delivering high-quality, reliable services to our customers, while providing a solid foundation for growing high-speed data subscribers and recurring revenues, expanding free cash flows, and delivering sustainable value creation for our stakeholders in the years ahead. As a result, ATN today is a stronger, more resilient company. We concluded a solid 2023 with a strong fourth quarter, executing on our First-to-Fiber and Glass and Steel investment strategy. Our continued conversion of customers to our high-speed networks and focus on margin improvement contributed to subscriber growth, higher revenue, and margin expansion. In fact, both the quarter and the year, we achieved single-digit revenue growth and double-digit expansion of adjusted EBITDA. Justin will expand more on our financial results shortly, but first, I'd like to start with four key points that frame our 2023 performance and the opportunities ahead for ATN. First, in 2023, we executed several important strategic milestones that are key to our success going forward. We advanced our First-to-Fiber and Glass and Steel investment strategy by adding fiber-rich digital infrastructure in the markets we serve. In May, we announced our long-term agreement with Verizon. We have made strong progress towards our multiyear effort to transition our large carrier customers from legacy wholesale roaming services to carrier managed services that provide ATN with greater revenue stability. We completed the integration of Sacred Wind, a core addition to our operations, and expanded our business and retail broadband operations domestically. In 2023, we also completed initiatives to rightsize operations to better support the business into the future. These actions are now complete in the U.S. and essentially completed internationally. All in all, we have enhanced our capabilities to better serve our customers and provide high-quality, reliable products and services for the coming years. As a result of these combined efforts, ATN is operating from a strong and scalable foundation as we enter 2024. Second, our First-to-Fiber and Glass and Steel infrastructure investments are yielding results across key operational metrics. Expanding high-speed network reach and capabilities provides a solid foundation for delivering strong recurring revenues, durable free cash flow, and shareholder value over the long term. Since launching our strategy at the start of 2022, we've increased high-speed broadband subscribers by 39%, nearly doubled broadband homes passed by high-speed data services, and expanded our fiber network reach by nearly 50%. Third, our performance validates ATN's strong market position. As we have said before, we play directly into what is unquestionably one of the world's most durable secular growth drivers, the need to be connected anytime and everywhere. Our network's reliability, consistency, and efficiency has improved customer satisfaction, as exemplified by strong subscriber growth and low churn. Our deeply embedded relationships with local communities, customers, enterprises, governments, and carriers continue to position ATN with an essential competitive advantage and fourth, as we look to 2024 and beyond, we're committed to managing our balance sheet to maximize cash flow expansion and to realize the full benefits of our investments in the years ahead. While we plan to continue to invest in our network expansion this year, we will move down the other side of our three-year investment bell curve. As we dial back internally funded capital spending, we continue to leverage our upgraded network footprint and available grant funding to augment network expansions and continue to grow our subscriber base and recurring revenue. Additionally, we will continue to advance margin improvement initiatives to manage run rate operating costs. All in all, these actions position ATN to reap the full benefits of our network investment in the years ahead, including accelerated cash flow generation and subscriber and revenue growth at higher incremental margins. Let's turn to operational wins. Providing high-speed connectivity to more customers in as many remote and underserved regions as possible is core to our mission and strategy. In Q4, we continued to make great progress on this front in both the U.S. and international markets. We exited 2023 with 20% more high-speed broadband subscribers and 33% more broadband homes passed by high-speed data services compared to the prior year. We also have had great success scaling our fiber footprint. Fiber has many advantages. It is more energy efficient, requires less maintenance, and provides superior customer experience. As we replace and decommission legacy copper networks with fiber networks, we are positioning ATN to deliver higher margin revenue over time. We exited 2023 with 11,650 fiber route miles, an 11% year-over-year increase, and increased our fiber homes passed footprint by 32%. Now, taking a closer look at operational highlights by segment. Starting with our international segment, which represents about half of ATN's revenue and includes operations in Bermuda and the Caribbean, where we operate in fast-growing markets like Cayman Islands and Guyana. Across this segment, we continue to see rapid uptake of high-speed broadband, with high-speed data subscriber growth of 20% year-over-year. Additionally, we are seeing strong mobile subscriber growth, which grew 8% in 2023, behind investments in network core upgrades, densification, and 5G rollouts. We remain optimistic about the growth and free cash flow expansion opportunities across our international markets as we continue to benefit from networking and operating investments, attractive market tailwinds, and our unique value proposition. Our U.S. segment, which serves rural communities in the West and Southwest, as well as urban and rural areas of Alaska, accounts for the other half of ATN's revenue. In Q4, we achieved several key operational milestones in the U.S. as we advanced our domestic strategy to increase broadband homes passed by high-speed data and pivot away from our legacy wireless wholesale roaming business by meeting our carrier customers' evolving business needs. We expanded our middle and last mile fiber networks and advanced the capacity and reach of our next generation fixed wireless network, enabling 7% year-over-year growth on recurring business data revenue. In the U.S., we continue to pursue grant funding to augment our fiber and fixed wireless high-speed network expansion in rural areas, including parts of Alaska, Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico. In Q4, we were recipients of nearly $4 million in federal grants, bringing total awarded grants to us and our partners to $91.2 million in 2023. Also, in Q4, we renewed our agreement with the Alternative Connect America Model program, or ACAM, locking in the continuation of the subsidy funding to serve locations in New Mexico in the amount of $118 million over the next 15 years. As it relates to grants and external funding, I want to clarify a few key points. First, one of our core competencies at ATN is our deep understanding of the mechanics of grants and third-party funding. We have a long track record of using discretion to ensure the grants we participate in are economically viable. Second, the network builds funded by these and future grants are expected to extend over the next several years. As a result, these funds will support our continued network expansion and customer and revenue growth, even as the pace of our self-funded capital decreases as planned. Third, ATN is well positioned to compete for the $4.2 billion of BEAD telecom infrastructure funding allocated to the six states that we operate in. We're actively working in jurisdictions on opportunities that align with our business strategy. In conclusion, our strategy to expand high-speed network reach capabilities while managing costs through margin improvement initiatives, positions ATN to reap the benefits of our investment for years to come. Looking ahead to 2024, it's all about continued execution of our plan. Our priorities remain to continue growing high-speed data network subscriber base and expanding our fiber footprint through targeted internal funded investments, albeit at a slower pace as we come down the backside of our three-year investment bell curve, to pursue economically viable grants to augment these internal investments, to advance margin improvement initiatives, and to manage our balance sheet to maximize cash flow and increase shareholder value. With that, I'll hand the call back to you, Justin. Great. Thank you, Brad. ATN's strong fourth quarter and full year performance reflect our team's hard work executing against our three-year strategic investment plan. In 2023, we achieved consistent top-line growth and even stronger adjusted EBITDA growth, well in line with our guidance for the year. Turning to the P&L highlights. In Q4, total company revenue of $199 million grew 4% before construction revenue compared to the same period in 2022. Higher fixed revenue was driven by growth in rural broadband revenue and high-speed data subscribers. The quarter also benefited from $3.1 million of non-recurring revenue associated with engineering services we provided on a fiber deployment. For the full year, revenue totaled $762.2 million. This represents a 6% increase over the prior year, excluding construction revenue from both periods, reflecting the momentum of our strategic network investments. Operating income in the fourth quarter was $3.3 million, versus $4.7 million in Q4 of 2022. The year-over-year decrease was due to a $6.6 million restructuring charge related to our ongoing efforts to better align our cost structure to the future needs of the business, and a $1.3 million net loss on the disposition of assets and changes in contingent considerations. Full year operating income for 2023 increased to $13.2 million, which was negatively impacted by restructuring charges of $11.2 million. This compares to operating income of $7.9 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA growth was exceptionally strong for both the fourth quarter and the full year, increasing 13% to $51 million for the quarter, and 10% to $189.5 million for the full year. This performance was fueled by strength across both segments as we benefited from higher revenue and our ongoing margin expansion initiatives. Net loss in Q4 was $5.8 million, or a loss of $0.46 per share, compared with prior year's net loss of $1.4 million, or a loss of $0.18 per share. The quarter was affected by the restructuring charge and a year-over-year increase in interest expense of $4.7 million. For the full year, the net loss was $14.5 million or $1.25 per share, which included the restructuring charge of $11.2 million in higher interest expense year-over-year. This compares to a full year 2022 net loss of $5.6 million or $0.67 per share. Looking now at the segment performance. The international segment delivered revenue growth of 5% in the quarter and 4% for the full year. As Brad mentioned, we saw strong high-speed data subscriber growth that drove increased fixed broadband revenues. Mobile revenues in the segment were flat in the quarter, as strong subscriber growth for the segment was offset by a lower ARPU in some of our bigger prepaid markets. Adjusted EBITDA for the international segment increased 6% for the quarter and 4% for the full year. In our domestic segment, total Q4 revenue grew 3%, driven by the growth in fixed revenue and engineering services, as I previously noted. On a full year basis, domestic revenue increased by 6% as we benefited from strong fixed revenue growth related to greater enterprise and Emergency Connectivity Fund revenue in Alaska, as well as the Sacred Wind acquisition. Carrier revenues were flat, both for the quarter and the year. As Brad mentioned, moving into 2024, we will have transitioned the bulk of the carrier service revenue from the legacy wholesale roaming revenue to offering a suite of infrastructure and network services to our large carrier customers in the U.S. Adjusted EBITDA for the domestic segment was very strong, up 20% for the quarter, well outpacing our revenue growth, and up 17% for the year as we benefited from margin expansion efforts that have been in focus throughout the year. Moving on to the balance sheet and cash flow highlights. We exited the year with a net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of 2.4x on total debt outstanding of $517 million. Net cash provided by operating activities was $113 million for the year, up from $103 million in the prior year period, as the funding of working capital improved in 2023. Maintaining the strength of our balance sheet remains a top priority for ATN, and we expect to continue expanding cash flow as we leverage the benefit of our investments made on our networks over the past few years. Turning now to capital expenditures. In line with our three-year strategic investment plan, for the full year 2023, we invested nearly $200 million, expanding both the reach and quality of our networks in all our markets. Of the nearly $200 million invested, CapEx funded through operations was $163.3 million, and $32.9 million was funded through reimbursable government programs. These investments have upgraded the capabilities of our networks and enabled our teams to greatly expand the reach of our fiber facilities that ATN can leverage for years to come. As provided in our guidance, our CapEx spending through operations is expected to decrease substantially in 2024 and continue to move lower into 2025. We expect to augment this more normalized CapEx spending levels with government subsidy grant programs and funding. Returning capital to shareholders remains a capital allocation priority in 2023, ATN returned $15 million to shareholders through our share repurchase program, and we paid out an additional $13.2 million in dividends. In December, we announced the board of directors' decision to increase the quarterly dividend 14% year- over- year to $0.24 per share, and the expansion of our share repurchase program, allowing the company to repurchase up to an additional 25 million of common shares. Turning now to our full year 2024 outlook. For the full year, we expect total company revenues in the range of $750 million-$770 million, excluding construction revenue. As a reminder, a $27 million annual COVID-related government contract is scheduled to expire at the end of the first quarter in our U.S. segment, which will affect year-over-year revenue growth comparisons beginning in Q2. We expect other revenue growth to offset that reduction as we move through the year. We continue to expect Adjusted EBITDA for the full year within our previously provided preliminary guidance range of $200 million-$208 million. As we move through 2024 and begin to expand cash flow, we expect to exit the year with a net debt to ratio of between 2.25 and 2.4x. As I mentioned previously, maintaining healthy debt levels is a top priority for ATN, and our goal remains to continue bringing the leverage closer to 2x over the medium term. Turning now to our capital expenditure guidance. After reviewing our 2024 projects and the status of grant funding we are eligible for, we have lowered our capital expenditure outlook by $10 million to a new range of $110 million-$120 million. As a result of the investments we've made, ATN is in an excellent position to expand cash flow and fuel profitable growth in the years to come. Finally, as announced at the end of last year, this will be my last earnings call as CFO before I retire. Reflecting on my past 18 years with ATN, I'm proud of the organization that we've built and the incredible progress this entire company has made together over the years. I've truly valued my partnership with Michael over the past 18 years, and the great team of financial executives and our assistant, Kathy, who supported us both for much of that time. I'd also like to express my gratitude for the opportunity to connect with many of you, our shareholders and analysts, that cover ATN. I truly appreciate the support you've provided me over the years. Having worked closely with Brad for several years, I have the utmost confidence that he's the right leader for ATN at this stage in our transformation. Additionally, in my time with Carlos, I can assure you he is a seasoned leader with strong industry knowledge, financial and operational experience, and a collaborative approach to business. I have the full confidence that Brad and Carlos will seamlessly lead ATN through the completion of a three-year strategy and set a compelling vision for ATN's next phase of growth. Before opening up to questions, I'd like to just turn the call over to Carlos, who has a few words to say. Thanks, Justin. Hello, everyone. It is an honor to be here today. ATN is a solid company that has been investing in a foundation for the continuing creation of shareholder value. Since joining ATN in January, I've been impressed with the thoroughness of ATN's finance team, the strength and experience of the leadership team, and the clarity of the organization's mission and strategy. I am grateful for the quality time that I have spent with Justin. I look forward to building on the disciplined financial foundation he has established, to continue to generate value for our investors and stakeholders for years to come. I look forward to meeting with many of you in the months ahead. With that, I turn the call back over to Brad. Thanks, Justin and Carlos. We are very excited for ATN's future. Through our First-to-Fiber and Glass and Steel investment strategies and ongoing focus on margin improvement, we are laying the foundation for durable long-term growth in the years ahead. The ATN value proposition continues to resonate with customers around the globe. Our teams remain energized to execute on our promise to help rural and underbuilt communities advance their quality of life through reliable, high-quality digital connectivity. With that, operator, we'd like to open up for questions. Thank you. Please stand by while we compile the Q&A roster. Our first question comes from the line of Ric Prentiss of Raymond James. Your question, please, Ric. Yeah, thanks. Good morning, Justin. Wish you well in retirement. Enjoyed working with you. Brad and Carlos, look forward to getting to know you guys better. Thanks, Ric. Thanks, Ric. Thank you. Yep. First question, Justin, you called out that you've got this COVID program that's expiring in 2024. Can you remind us what line item is that revenue in, in domestic? How much was that in 2023, and how much will it be in 2024? Because obviously it's affecting the revenue growth rate in 2024 versus 2023. Yeah, it's a fixed revenue, so it's reported in fixed, and it's been a pretty consistent number to the number we get. So it's a $27 million program, and it's kind of pro rata over the quarter. So, you know, we'll have a pro rata, you know, pro rata amount in Q1, then it'll drop off. So it's roughly a $21 million impact next year. The $21 million for three quarters worth of 2024 is what it would be down? Correct. Right. So we'll have it in Q1, but then it drops. Right. Right, right. Okay. And is that a super high margin business then? I'm trying to think of how, what that effect was into, into the EBITDA. Yeah, I mean, we built, you know, it's accounted for in our guidance. It did have a significant cost that came with it, but it did have margin. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Because when we think about, you know, and we can normalize for that now, obviously, say, but let's put $21 million in there. The revenue growth rate from 2023 to 2024 seems somewhat muted. Can you help us understand, you know, you've spent all this CapEx, you've got these exciting adds to high-speed broadband in both of your regions. How should we think about kind of where you want to head with revenue growth on a more normalized basis, absent this COVID program? I still think, Ric, that, you know, that you—we can be in that the range that we guided to a while back, right? In the 4%-6% range of revenue growth. You know, this year, the drop in that ECF program definitely muted it, though, obviously. Okay. Okay. And then, Brad, you touched on margin improvements a couple of times in your, in your comments. What should we think of as, you know, what's, what's the target you want to get to, and does it vary between domestic and international? Where, where should we think you're trying to drive this, this boat to as far as margin improvement? So thanks, Ric. So great question. You know, it's obviously a key area of focus for the business. You know, the current guidance that we've provided for 2024 includes, you know, a lot of these initiatives. Look, we always are benchmarking ourselves against benchmarks in the industry, but we aren't guiding beyond that. I think what we've guided to 2024 is a reflection on a continued focus that started, you know, through my course of my tenure here, my operational role, and will continue to be a key focus for the business as we move forward. So the guidance in 2024 kind of assumes maybe a 27% margin? Yeah, yeah, if you're using the midpoint, I think, on that. Yeah, yeah. And I would just say, too, it's in both segments, too, Ric. Just to kind of w e're working on. Okay. Last question for me then. On the CapEx, obviously getting back to more normal, quote, levels in 2025, somewhere between 10%-15% of total revenues, that's construction. What would cause it to go to the low end of that range? What would cause it to go to the high end of the range? And obviously, I think that assumes that any government funding is separate and that gets netted out. Yeah, so great question, Ric, and, you know, you specified the range. The major dynamics that move CapEx timing are really around success in the year. You know, we do have markets where the markets we serve can be very complex to plan some of the timing because of complexities, due to weather, for example. But a big mover is the timing on the grants, already awarded grant programs that come in, come into the business. So those can move specifically by state, by program. It does vary significantly. So that potentially could drive it to a lower, lower, to overall lower level, but it would be really specific to each individual market. Okay. Thanks, guys. Appreciate it. Thanks, Ric. Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Greg Burns of Sidoti. Please go ahead, Greg. Morning. When you look at the broadband penetration or homes passed versus subscriber growth, you know, the subscriber growth is lagging the homes passed growth by a little bit. Can you just talk about maybe your plans for marketing, promotion, you know, any activities or programs you might have in place to you know, continue to increase that broadband penetration? Yeah, Greg, thank you. Great question. So certainly, penetration, as quickly as possible, is always the core focus on any infrastructure build. Generally, we have, you know, we look at every single situation competitively, the different types of products, different types of competitive solutions and across the portfolio. So we are everywhere looking at how do we move the needle more quickly. We try to pre-sell. I mean, we certainly try to leverage as many techniques as possible to shorten that timing, but it does vary significantly market by market, based on those competitive dynamics and the technology. But, you know, we are coming off a, you know, significant investment phase, and growing that base of homes passed provides us, you know, great opportunity to continue to expand. Okay. And then in Guyana, there's some saber rattling going on down there. You know, what is your exposure there to maybe the disputed regions and, you know, maybe, you know, I guess what the risk is to you that, you know, maybe something escalates in that region? Yeah, I will start on that answer, and Michael, who's been closest to, can chime in. Generally, this is something we obviously watch very closely. You know, it's something that we stay very close to the other major U.S. investors in that market. And the Exxon CEO spoke to this in their earnings call as well, and spoke to the fact that they think it's a general low risk, but it's something that's watched very closely. And we make sure that the teams are aligned. The general disputed area is an area where very little of our infrastructure resides. It's a very unpopulated portion of Guyana. But it's something we're watching closely as things develop. And we're certainly making sure, you know, we have our teams aligned around what we effectively are monitoring with our governments and our business partners. Michael, anything to add? Okay, thank you. Yeah, this is Michael. I don't, I don't think there's much to add. I would just emphasize that it's really around the contention for Guyana, which we certainly don't hope, you know, we hope that there's nothing like any kind of even minor military action. We don't, we don't get the sense that that's likely from everyone we talk to, but, you know, who knows? But the point is that from a pure economic and business standpoint, as Brad said, really, all of our operations, very, very little is in that region that Venezuela is claiming. Okay, thank you. Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Hamed Khorsand of BWS. Please go ahead, Hamed. Hey, good morning. So first off, just wanna ask you, there was a sequential bump in U.S.-related revenue by about $7 million or so. How much of that is you're able to retain going forward? You know, I understand there's—that the grant money's coming off in Q2, but outside of that, how much of that is realistically able to hold on? Hamed, there was an engineering service revenue, right, that I spoke about in my part of the opening of about $3 million. So, but I think generally, you should think a lot of that's sustainable, but for the fact of the, you know, the ECF drop off that I noted as well. Okay. And then could you provide a little bit more, you know, details about the restructuring that you took, why you decided that you had to take it down? Yeah, most. The restructuring was really, you know, kind of cost reduction initiatives, right? In terms of, you know, workforce and leases and things like that, that we took off. So there—it predominantly is all one-time charges associated with exiting those costs. If that answers your question. Yeah, yeah. I guess I was asking why, why now? What, what was, what was the impediment to doing now? It's really a part of the initiative to just kind of more efficiently run the business and improve the margins. Got it. And my last question was, last earnings call, you were talking about, you know, just the churn going up in mobile, that came down. What was the, you know, result of that as far as the improvement you've seen? Is that because better marketing, you know, the consumer there is, you know, happy with the mobile service they have or the mobile phones they have? I know in the past you've talked about that they have two phones, now they're back to one. Yeah, Hamed, I'll take that. Yeah, generally, you know, there was a dynamic this year in one of our significant prepaid markets where there was a competitor that came in with a free offering with a new network, a much smaller competitor. That did have an impact. It did effectively have some, you know, some positive impact for our subscribers on data consumption. So that was one of the dynamics that was effectively a six-month free promotion period. So that is something that the promotion period has ended. Okay, great. Congrats to Justin on the retirement. Thank you. Thanks, Hamed. Thank you. Again, to ask a question, please press star one one on your telephone. Again, that's star one one on your telephone to ask a question. Our next question comes from the line of Ric Prentiss of Raymond James. Please go ahead, Ric. Hey. Hey, Justin, can't let you go that easily. We'll get a few more questions here on your last call. All right. Did y'all have any exposure to the ACP program? Is that what you're referring to in the COVID one, or w hat was your exposure to ACP? Ric, yeah, that was not what we're referring to as the COVID. That was a different program called Emergency Connectivity Fund. ACP, we are watching this closely. We do have some exposure to ACP. It's not huge overall to ATN. We are still working to quantify the overall impact and options to help mitigate it. Okay, yeah. Do you know how many subs you have, just to really kind of show us what that ballpark number is? Yeah, we haven't given that, Ric, yet, so I think we, we probably—we just more time for us to quantify it. Yeah, and the anticipation is that it might stop April, right? Yeah, I think that's, y eah. Yeah. Yep. Okay. And other question for me is, free cash flow. Looks like we're there on the cusp of turning the corner to be positive free cash flow. Can you talk a little bit about, you know, maybe cash taxes and interest, which would be the other items compared to EBITDA and CapEx, but, you know, are you feeling pretty good that maybe even early this year, you get to that free cash flow positive dynamic? And then what kind of progress from there? Yeah, I mean, we're definitely striving to increase free cash flow, right? We've been repeating that message over and over. I think, you know, in terms of interest, so with that, kind of our priority item is to keep driving down leverage, that'll help on the interest cost. I think in terms of interest expense, you've kind of seen that in the quarter. That's, you know, that's kind of a decent working number. Our cash taxes, you know, for better or for worse these days are pretty limited. But our goal is to keep, you know, keep expanding that free cash flow, you know, bring down leverage, return it to shareholders. Okay. We don't usually include it in our valuation, free cash flow, but are there any unusual working capital items coming up? There's nothing out of the ordinary, but we are watching, like, with the government reimbursement programs. So we've got some working capital already tied up in those programs, right, as we go through the replace and remove. But we're watching that. We're trying to manage that closely, but that could be a little bit of a, y ou know, there's some work for us to not, not. Yeah Grow that part of the working capital too much, but that, it's out there. 'Cause there, we have to, we kind of have to spend it before we get reimbursed. Sure. And what's the lag as far as from spending to reimbursing? Is that six to nine months, is it? You know, I don't know. It's probably in a shorter period than that. Yeah. It's shorter. Yeah. It does vary by program, Ric, but we have seen much better than that. But some of these programs, certainly the more sizable ones, require a lot of detail for those reimbursements. But it has been measured in weeks, which is good. And there have been some programs that allowed for pre-positioning, giving effectively a six-month pre-positioning of invoicing. Right. And the trick for us is to try to manage, you know, how fast we're constructing and seeking reimbursement, too, right? So it's. There's a lot of management involved in it, obviously. Yeah. It's worth adding to that- And- It's worth adding to that, just that we, we've also entered into agreements on some of the big vendor contracts that, you get paid when we get paid, kind of thing. Yeah, good point. Yeah. Thank you, yeah. Good, good. A lot of your reimbursements are probably coming from states instead of the U.S. fed? It is mostly U.S. federal government, but there are some states as well. The ones we're working on now. Yeah. Right. Right. Right. Okay, good. If our government can get something done in weeks, that's a, that's a positive. Yeah. Yeah. All right, and the last one for me is just, the leverage guidance did change a little bit. Previously, it was get to approximately 2 by end of 2024, and now it's kind of the 2.25-2.40. We were at 2.2 anyway in our model. Was that just kind of a fine-tuning of, of kind of the, when you get to that closer to 2 range, or was there anything specific different from prior guidance somehow? No, it's probably, I think it's just a little bit of fine-tuning, how much working capital we might have tied up in some of the reimbursement programs. So that, that's what, that's where the fine-tuning was. All right. Thanks, everybody. Justin, again, best wishes. Thank you, Ric. Appreciate it. Thanks for all the support over the years. Thank you. As there are no further questions in queue, I would now like to turn the call over to Brad Martin, ATN's Chief Executive Officer, for closing remarks. Sir? Thank you, operator, and thank you all for joining us today. We will be participating in Sidoti's Small Cap Virtual Investor Conference on March fourteenth. Look forward to meeting with many of you there. I would like to take a moment to thank Justin for his leadership, and his commitment to long-term tenure to ATN. Wish you all the best in your retirement. Thank you, Brad. Thank you again for your time. With that, operator, I'll turn it back to you. This concludes today's conference call. Thank you for participating. You may now disconnect.
