Dow Inc.

Good day and welcome to Dow's fourth quarter 2021 earnings call. You may signal to ask a question by pressing star followed by one at any time during today's presentation. Also, today's call has been recorded. I would now like to hand the call over to Pankaj Gupta. Please go ahead, sir.

Good morning. Thank you for joining Dow's fourth quarter earnings call.

This call is available via webcast, and we have prepared slides to supplement our comments today. They are posted on the Investor Relations section of Dow's website and through the link to our webcast. I'm Pankaj Gupta, Dow Investor Relations Vice President, and joining me today on the call are Jim Fitterling, Dow's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Howard Underlyder, 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. DAOs Forms 10Q and 10K include detailed discussions of principal risks and uncertainties which may cause such differences. Unless otherwise specified, all financials, where applicable, exclude significant items. We will also refer to non-GAAP measures. A reconciliation of 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, as well as on the Dow website. On slide two, you will see our agenda for the call. Jim will begin by reviewing our fourth quarter and full year highlights and operating segment performance. Howard will then share our outlook and modeling guidance, and then Jim will discuss how we will continue to execute on our priorities to deliver value growth. Following that, we will take your questions. Now let me turn the call over to Jim.
