President and CEO

Now, let me introduce Tony Will. Thanks, Martin, and good morning, everyone. Yesterday afternoon, we posted results for the first quarter of 2025, in which we generated adjusted EBITDA of $644 million. These results reflect outstanding performance by the CF Industries team against the backdrop of very constructive global nitrogen industry conditions. We are operating safely and at a high level across all aspects of our business. Over the longer term, we have positioned the company for attractive growth through our Bluepoint joint venture with Jera and Mitsui. This industry-defining project will not only supply ammonia that the world desperately will need, but it will also add It will also develop additional demand for low-carbon ammonia into brand-new applications. We also remain committed to returning capital to long-term shareholders. Since the beginning of 2022, we have returned $5 billion to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends. Given the confidence we have in our free cash generation going forward and the disciplined nature of our investment in Blue Plain, the Board has authorized an additional $2 billion share repurchase program. This new program will begin immediately after we complete our existing authorization and will run through the end of 2029. With that, I'll turn it over to Chris to provide more details on our operating results and the status of key strategic initiatives.
