Laredo Petroleum, Inc.

Good day, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Vital Energy's first quarter 2024 earnings conference call. My name is John, and I'll be your conference operator for today. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After the speaker's remarks, there will be a question and answer session. As a reminder, this conference is being recorded for replay purposes. It is now my pleasure to introduce to you Mr. Ron Haged, Vice President of Investor Relations for the company. Please go ahead.

Thank you and good morning.

Joining me today are Jason Piegut, President and Chief Executive Officer, Brian Lemmerman, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Katie Hill, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, as well as additional members of our management team. During today's call, we'll be making forward-looking statements. These statements, including those describing our beliefs, goals, expectations, forecasts, and assumptions are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Our actual results may differ from these four looking statements for a variety of reasons, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, we'll be making reference to non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations to GAAP financial measures are included in the press release and presentation we issued yesterday afternoon. The press release and presentation can be accessed on our website at www.vitalenergy.com.
