Your program is about to begin. If you need assistance during your conference today, please press star zero. Welcome to Chesapeake Utilities Corporation's third quarter 2025 earnings conference call. At this time, all participants have been placed on a listen-only mode And the floor will be open for your questions following the presentation. If you would like to ask a question at that time, please press star 1 on your telephone keypad. If at any point your question has been answered, you may remove yourself from the queue by pressing star 2. So others can hear your questions clearly, we ask that you pick up your handset for best sound quality. Lastly, if you should require operator assistance, please press star 0. I would now like to turn the call over to Lucia Dempsey, Head of Investor Relations. Thank you, and good morning, everyone.

Today's presentation can be accessed on our website under the Investors page and Events and Presentations subsection. After our prepared remarks, we will open up the call for questions. On slide two, we show our typical disclaimers while I remind you that matters discussed on this conference call may include forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements and projections could differ materially from our actual results. The Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements section of our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our third quarter Form 10-Q provide further information on the factors that could cause such statements to differ from our actual results. Additionally, the company evaluates its performance based on certain non-GAAP measures, including adjusted growth margin, adjusted net income, and adjusted earnings includes the appropriate disclosures in accordance with the SEC's Regulation G. A reconciliation of these non-GAP measures to the related GAP measures has been provided in the appendix of this presentation, our earnings release, and our third quarter Form 10Q. Here at Chesapeake Utilities, safety is our first priority. We start all meetings with a safety moment, and we'll do so here, with a moment on kitchen and fire safety, as highlighted on slide 3. The holidays are coming up, which often means more time gathering together and cooking with friends and family. This makes it a great time to remember safe kitchen practices, particularly as Thanksgiving is the leading day for home cooking fires. Be extra vigilant and aware to keep kids, pets, and flammable materials away from heat and open flames. Ensure any burned food or materials are completely saturated with water before throwing away. And remember to use a metal lid, sheet pan, baking soda, salt, or a fire blanket to extinguish grease fires. I'll now introduce our presenters today. Jeff Householder, Chair of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer will provide an update on this quarter's key accomplishments and highlights, our full year guidance metrics, and our capital growth program. Jim Moriarty, Executive Vice President, General Counsel, Corporate Secretary, and Chief Policy and Risk Officer, will provide updates on our regulatory activity, our ongoing business transformation efforts, and our stakeholder engagement. And Beth Cooper, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, and Assistant Corporate Secretary, will discuss our financial results, financing updates, and investment highlights. With that, it's my pleasure to turn the call over to Jeff.
