![]() We ended the quarter with 210,000 fiber customers and expect this will continue to step up as we broaden the availability of multi-gig services and have Optimum Complete as our primary offer. In light of this, we saw a corresponding acceleration in fiber customer growth with net additions of 38,000 in the quarter, which was our best fiber net add quarter ever. Specifically, we expanded our fiber passings by 214,000 homes in Q1, ending Q1 with just under 2.4 million fiber passings and we're on track to deliver a record number of incremental fiber passings in Q2. This led to the delivery of an exceptional quarter in terms of broadband network construction, which is a key pillar of our growth strategy, setting us up really well for the rest of the year. We strategically pulled forward some of our budgeted annual spend to deliver network upgrades and accelerated passings earlier in the year so that we can begin to see customer benefits and accelerate our go-to-market strategies in these areas sooner. We were fortunate to have very mild weather this winter, and that played into our advantage. I'll go into more detail on this later in the presentation, but I'm pleased that even ahead of this launch, we started to see an acceleration in our mobile customer growth in Q1. ![]() This is an important milestone for us and something I've been heavily focused on with the team to ensure we bring to market a differentiated and customer-friendly offer that delivers real value and transparency. While I'm pleased to share that as you may have seen this week, we launched Optimum Complete, our exciting new internet and mobile-converged bundle offer. Last quarter, I shared that we were looking deeply into our go-to-market packages and that mobile would take on a more meaningful role. So let's jump into the results, starting on Slide 3 with a summary of our first quarter performance. ![]() And I thank everyone for their endless commitment, teamwork and energy. And while we certainly have more work to do, I'm incredibly proud of how the team has rallied around our strategy to be the connectivity provider-of-choice across all the communities that we serve. We introduced a new mission and strategy and accelerated a culture of teamwork and accountability by putting the customer at the center of everything we do. ![]() During the last 60 days, we've welcomed a new telecoms management team, and we continue to attract strong leadership talent across the organization. But before we begin, I want to take a moment to thank our employees across the entire organization. I'm pleased to be here to discuss Altice USA's Q1 2023 results.
