Kirby Corporation

Good morning, and welcome to the Kirby Corporation 2023 Third Quarter Earnings Conference Call. All participants will be in a listen-only mode. After today's presentation, there will be an opportunity to ask questions. We ask that you limit your question to one question and one follow-up. To ask a question, you will press star 1-1 on your telephone, and then you'll hear an automated message advising your hand is raised. I would now like to turn the conference call over to Mr. Kirk Nimitz, Kirby's VP of Investor Relations and Treasurer.

Please go ahead. Good morning and thank you for joining us.

With me today are David Grzybinski, Kirby's President and Chief Executive Officer, and Raj Kumar, Kirby's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. 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. 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. A list of these risk factors can be found in Kirby's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31st, 2022, and in our other filings made with the SEC from time to time. I will now turn the call over to David.
