Good morning.

It's my pleasure to welcome you to Martin Marietta's second quarter 2022 earnings call. Joining me today are Ward Nye, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Jim Nicholas, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Today's discussion may include forward-looking statements as defined by United States securities laws in connection with future events, future operating results, or financial performance. Like other businesses, Martin Marietta is subject to risks and uncertainties, that could cause actual results to differ materially. We undertake no obligation, except as legally required, to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether resulting from new information, future developments, or otherwise. Please refer to the legal disclaimers contained in today's earnings release and other public filings, which are available on both our own and the Securities Exchange Commission's website. We have made available during this webcast and on the Investors section of our website Q2 2022 supplemental information that summarizes our financial results and trends. As a reminder, all financial and operating results discussed today are for continuing operations. In addition, non-GAAP measures are defined and reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measure in the appendix to the supplemental information, as well as our filings with the SEC and are also available on our website. Ward and I will begin today's earnings call with a discussion of our second quarter operating performance, portfolio optimization efforts, and end market trends. Jim Nicholas will then review our financial results and capital allocation, after which Ward will provide some brief concluding remarks. A question and answer session will follow. Please limit your Q&A participation to one question. I will now turn the call over to Ward.
