Good morning, and welcome to the Kirby Corporation 2021 Fourth Quarter Earnings Conference Call. All participants will be in a listen-only mode. Should you need assistance, please signal a conference specialist by pressing the star key followed by zero. After today's presentation, there will be an opportunity to ask questions. We'll ask you to limit your questions to one question with one follow-up. To ask a question, you may press star, then one on your touch-tone phone. To withdraw your question, please press the pound key. Please note this event is being recorded. I would now like to turn the conference over to Mr. Eric Holcomb, Kirby's Vice President of Investor Relations. Please go ahead.

Good morning, and thank you for joining us.

With me today are David Gusbinski, Kirby's President and Chief Executive Officer, Raj Kumar, Kirby's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and Bill Harvey, Kirby's Executive Vice President of Finance. A slide presentation for today's conference call, as well as the earnings release, which was issued earlier today, can be found on our website at kirbycorp.com. During this conference call, we may refer to certain non-GAAP or adjusted financial measures. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in our earnings press release and are also available on our website in the investor relations section under financials. As a reminder, statements contained in this conference call with respect to the future are forward-looking statements. These statements reflect management's reasonable judgment with respect to future events. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated as a result of various factors, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the company's business. A list of these risk factors can be found in Kirby's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. I'll now turn the call over to David.
