Thank you, Andrea. Good morning and welcome to Advance 6's fourth quarter 2023 earnings conference call. With me here today are President and CEO Aaron Kane and Senior Vice President and CFO Michael Preston. This call and webcast, including any non-GAAP reconciliations, are available on our website at investors.advancix.com. Note that elements of this presentation contain forward-looking statements that are based on our best view of the world and of our business as we see it today. Those elements can change, and the actual results could differ materially from those projected, and we ask that you consider them in that light. We refer you to the forward-looking statements included in our press release and earnings presentation. In addition, we identify the principal risks and uncertainties that affect our performance in our SEC filings, including our annual report on Form 10-K as further updated in subsequent filings with the SEC. This morning, we will review our financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2023 and share our outlook for our key product lines and end markets. Finally, we'll leave time for your questions at the end. So with that, I'll turn the call over to Advance Six's President and CEO, Aaron Kane.

Thanks, Adam, and good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining us and for your continued interest in Advancics. As you saw in our press release, Advancics navigated a continued challenging end market environment to close out 2023. We maintained our focus on long-term priorities, including portfolio simplification in the year and further investment for improved fruit cycle profitability. Our healthy balance sheet supported our performance as we maintained our organic investments and return of cash to shareholders. Core to our long-term strategy is accelerating growth in the most profitable areas of our portfolio, continuous improvement to strengthen the underlying earnings power of this business, and sustaining our cost-advantaged business model. While the nylon environment has been pressured by unfavorable global industry supply and demand conditions for several quarters now, we've continued to see resilient performance within our acetone portfolio and solid results from our plant nutrients business. We'll provide more color in our outlook for 2024 later in the call. Though as we look forward, our focus is to perform in the current set of industry dynamics and to execute on the levers in our control, including cost discipline and working capital optimization that will be key mitigations to our operational headwinds as we have started the year. To support our long-term potential, it is also key that we invest to address enterprise risk mitigation, advance our IT platforms to achieve digital transformation, and deliver growth through projects like our SUSTAIN program. Now, let me turn the call over to Mike.
