My name is Tasha Matharu, and I'm the Corporate Secretary of S&P Global. It is my pleasure to welcome you to our 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Before passing the meeting over to our President and Chief Executive Officer, Doug Peterson, who will provide an update on the company's accomplishments in 2022 and prospects for continued growth, I'm going to briefly address some of the virtual meeting logistics and provide some introductory remarks regarding the information presented during today's meeting. This year's annual meeting is being held in a virtual-only format over the Internet by live webcast and with no in-person meeting. The format of today's virtual-only meeting has been designed to ensure that shareholders are afforded the same rights and opportunities to participate as they would have had at an in-person meeting, including with respect to asking questions. We very much welcome questions from shareholders. Shareholders who logged in with a 15-digit control number will be able to submit written questions through the virtual meeting website. On the site, click the Q&A icon and type your questions in the field provided. Please also select the topic of your question from the options provided and hit the Send button to submit your question. Shareholders may submit questions online at any time. However, we encourage you to submit them soon to ensure we get to as many questions as possible in the time allotted. In the interest of a productive and orderly meeting, please consult the 2023 Annual Meeting Rules of Conduct available under the Documents section of the Virtual Meeting Center screen for guidelines and additional information regarding the process for submitting questions online. We appreciate your participation and courtesy in observing these rules of conduct. During the business portion of the annual meeting led by our Chairman, Richard Thornburgh, shareholder questions will be limited to questions specifically pertaining to the proposals being considered at that particular time. After the formal portion of the meeting is adjourned, further time will be provided to address other shareholder questions during a general question and answer session led by our President and CEO, Doug Peterson. We will answer as many questions that comply with the proposed rules of conduct as time permits. Substantially similar questions may be summarized and grouped together to provide a single response. We reserve the right to exclude questions that are not relevant to the business of the meeting or are otherwise inappropriate. In today's presentation, we may provide non-GAAP adjusted financial metrics. These metrics are provided to enable investors to make meaningful comparisons of the company's operating performance between periods and to view the company's business from the same perspective as that of management. The earnings releases for Q4 2022 and Q1 2023 contain financial metrics calculated in accordance with GAAP, but are comparable to the non-GAAP metrics included in today's presentation, as well as reconciliations of such GAAP and non-GAAP metrics. The company's earnings releases are available on our investor relations website. Before we begin the formal part of today's meeting, let me provide certain cautionary remarks about forward-looking statements that may be made during this annual meeting and during our CEO, Doug Peterson's remarks.

Additional information concerning factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements is included in the cautionary statements contained in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and our most recent Form 10-Q, each filed with the SEC. I would also like to call your attention to a European regulation.

With that, let me turn the meeting over to our President and Chief Executive Officer, Doug Peterson. Doug? Thank you, Tasha. Hello to everyone on the webcast. Thank you for joining us and for your continued support of our company. This morning, I want to briefly review our 2022 performance and how we're positioned for profitable growth in the future. Our Chairman, Thornburgh, will conduct the business of the meeting. I'll come back after that to take your questions. Turning to last year's performance, S&P Global proved once again its resilience in a challenging macroeconomic environment. For example, we made considerable progress on our transformative merger with IHS Markit. We consolidated office space, standardized business practices, generated thousands of cross-sell referrals, and optimized our capital structure, lowering our average cost of debt at fixed rates. Last year, four of our six divisions produced non-GAAP pro forma adjusted revenue growth. The diversification of our business portfolio helped counterbalance a steep decline in revenue from S&P Global Ratings last year. Even in a difficult macro environment, we never stopped investing in organic growth, technology, and innovation to deliver the next generation of exciting new products. The resilience and discipline we demonstrated last year build on an incredible legacy of our company and position us to create significant value for our customers, our people, and our shareholders in 2023 and beyond. As we've said, for 2023, we expect non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share in the range of $12.35-$12.55. This compares to the non-GAAP pro forma adjusted EPS of $11.19 we produced last year, which implies 11% growth if we achieve the midpoint of our guidance. One of the keys to our growth is a clear, compelling strategic focus, powering global markets. This strategic framework has five pillars. The first is customer at the core. I've been on the road meeting customers over the last year, they're excited about the products we're creating thanks to the merger with IHS Markit. As I've said, we continue to invest in innovation to serve our customers in new and innovative ways. The second pillar is grow and innovate. Across S&P Global, there's tremendous opportunity for organic growth, from thematic indices and bond valuations to aftermarket research and mobility forecasts. There are very promising opportunities in transformational areas such as sustainability and private markets. The third area is expand the power of data and technology. Here we're shifting the mix of our technology spend to provide even more value to our customers. Kensho is a great example of our focus on using technology to accelerate innovation and speed up time to market of S&P Global's product offerings. Kensho builds artificial intelligence solutions that unlock the critical insights hidden in unstructured data and powers many workflows across the enterprise. The fourth pillar is lead and inspire. We've been very focused on creating a sense of belonging in our company where people feel engaged, inspired to do great things, and are connected to our purpose. We continue to invest in initiatives that attract, retain, develop, and care for our people. Finally, execute and deliver. Our teams continue to be disciplined in their approach to executing our strategy. That means running the company efficiently, making strategic investments, pursuing a disciplined capital allocation approach, and creating an excellent culture. All these elements come together to help us capitalize on the exciting growth opportunities in each of our markets. We expressed our confidence in doing just that with the midterm financial targets we announced during Investor Day last year. As we said then, we expect by 2025 or 2026 to achieve the following: 7%-9% annual organic revenue growth, an adjusted operating margin in the range of 48%-50%, and low to mid-teens annual adjusted diluted earnings per share growth. We also expect to continue returning at least 85% of adjusted free cash flow to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks. Even with an uncertain global economy this year, we're looking forward to the months and years ahead with a great deal of optimism. As I wrap up, I want to thank our people for the excellent work they continue to do. They've been through a lot of change over the last few years. They've handled our merger, market uncertainty, the pandemic, and more with a tremendous amount of professionalism, talent, and dedication. I also want to recognize our board of directors. We have an all-star board. The diversity of their expertise, perspectives, and backgrounds is of incredible value to me and our company. I thank our shareholders for your continued support. Now I'll turn it over to Tasha to open the business portion of our meeting. Thank you. Tasha? Thanks, Doug. We will now begin the business portion of today's meeting.
