Good morning, everyone.

speaker
Colleen Kaye
Investor Relations Vice President

Thank you for joining us to discuss the fourth 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. DOW's Forms 10-Q and 10-K include detailed discussions of principal risks and uncertainties which may cause such differences. Unless otherwise specified, 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 Dow earnings release in the slides that supplement our comments today and on the Dow website. On slide two, you'll see our agenda for the call. Jim will begin with the fourth quarter and full year highlights, and we'll discuss the company's operating segment performance. Howard will share an update on SADARA and then provide our market outlook and modeling guidance. He will also outline Dow's digitalization acceleration plans. Finally, Jim will provide an update on our sustainability initiatives and market growth opportunities that are helping to further advance our competitive advantage in 2021 and beyond as the economic recovery progresses. Following that, we will take your questions. With that, I'll turn the call over to Jim.
