Thank you, Jordan. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us. On the call with me today are Mark Costa, Board Chair and CEO, Willie McLean, Executive Vice President and CFO, and Jake Leroux, Manager, Investor Relations. Yesterday, after market closed, we posted our third quarter 2023 financial results news release and SEC 8K filing, our slides, and the related prepared remarks in the investor section of our website, which is www.eastman.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 our future expectations are or will be detailed in our third quarter 2023 financial results news release during this call, in the preceding slides and prepared remarks, and in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Form 10-K filed for full year 2022 and the Form 10-Q to be filed for third 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 third quarter 2023 financial results news release. As we posted the slides and accompanying prepared remarks on our website last night, we will now go straight into Q&A. Jordan, please let's start with our first question.

Thank you. As a reminder, that's star followed by one to register a question. If you change your mind, please press star followed by two, and please ensure you're unmuted when speaking. We'd ask all participants to limit themselves to one question with an additional follow-up. Our first question comes from David Begleiter of Deutsche Bank. David, the line is yours.
