Dow Inc.

Please stand by. We're about to begin. Good day and welcome to Dow first quarter 2020 earnings call. You may signal to ask a question by pressing star 1 at any time during today's presentation. Also, today's call is being recorded. I would now like to turn the call over to Colleen Kay. Please go ahead, ma'am.

Good morning, everyone.

Thank you for joining us to discuss the first quarter financial results for Dow. We're making this call available via webcast, and we have prepared slides to supplement our comments during this conference call. They are posted on the Investor Relations section of Dow's website and through the link to our webcast. I'm Colleen Kaye, Investor Relations Vice President for Dow, and joining me on the call today are Jim Fitterling, Dow's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Howard Ungerleiter, President and Chief Financial Officer. Please read the forward-looking statement disclaimer contained in the earnings news release and slides. During our call, we will make forward-looking statements regarding our expectations or predictions about the future. Because these statements are based on current assumptions and factors that involve risks and uncertainties, our actual performance and results may differ materially from our forward-looking statements. Dallas Forms 10Q and 10K include detailed discussions of principal risks and uncertainties which may cause such differences. Unless otherwise specified, first quarter 2019 historical financial measures presented today are on a pro forma basis and all financials, where applicable, exclude significant items. We'll also refer to non-GAAP measures. A reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure and other associated disclosures is contained in the DAO earnings release, in the slides that supplement our comments today, and on the DAO website. On slide two, you'll see our agenda for the call. Jim will begin with the first quarter highlights, share details on Dow's response to COVID-19, and discuss the operating performance of the segments. Howard will provide an update on SADARA, then move into a financial overview of the quarter and provide our modeling guidance. And finally, Jim will close with some remarks on key factors that differentiate Dow. Following that, we will take your questions. With that, I'll turn the call over to Jim.
