Eastman Chemical Company

Good day, everyone, and welcome to the first quarter 2023 Eastman Conference Call. Today's conference is being recorded. This call is being broadcast live on the Eastman website, www.eastman.com. We will now turn the call over to Mr. Greg Riddle of Eastman Chemical Company Investor Relations. Please go ahead, sir.

Thanks, Britta, and good morning, everyone, and thanks for joining us. On the call with me today are Mark Costa, Board Chair and CEO, Willie McLean, Senior Vice President, CFO, and Jake Leroux, Manager of Investor Relations. Yesterday after market closed, we posted our first quarter 2023 financial results news release and SEC-AK filing, our slides, and the related prepared remarks in the investor section of our website, eSpend.com. Before we begin, I'll cover two items. First, during this presentation, you will hear certain forward-looking statements concerning our plans and expectations. Actual events or results could differ materially. Certain factors related to future expectations are or will be detailed in our first quarter 2023 financial results news release. During this call, in the preceding slides and prepared remarks, and in our filings with the Securities Exchange Commission, including the Form 10-K filed for full year 2022, and the Form 10-Q to be filed for first quarter 2023. Second, earnings referenced in this presentation exclude certain non-core and unusual items. Reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and other associated disclosures, including a description of the excluded and adjusted items, are available in the first quarter 2023 financial results news release. As we posted the slides and accompanying prepared remarks on our website last night, we'll go straight into questions. Britta, please let's start with our first question.

Thank you. Our first question comes from the line of David Wettlinger of Deutsche Bank.
