Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for standing by. My name is Brent and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the Q4 2021 NYSource earnings conference call. 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. If you would like to ask a question at that time, simply press star followed by the number one on your telephone keypad. If you would like to withdraw your question, again, press star 1. Thank you. It's now my pleasure to turn today's call over to Mr. Chris Turner, Director of Investor Relations.

Please go ahead.

Good morning, and welcome to the NYSource Fourth Quarter 2021 Investor Call. Joining me today are Lloyd Yates, our Chief Executive Officer. Donald Brown, our Chief Financial Officer, Shawn Anderson, our Chief Strategy and Risk Officer, Pablo Vegas, our Chief Operating Officer, and Randy Hewlin, our VP of Investor Relations and Treasurer. The purpose of this presentation is to review NYSource's financial performance for the fourth quarter and full year of 2021, as well as provide an update on our operations and growth drivers. Following our prepared remarks, we'll open the call to your questions. Slides for today's call are available on NYSource.com. Before turning the call over to Lloyd, Donald, and Sean, a quick reminder. Some of the statements made during this presentation will be forward-looking. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the statements. Information concerning such risks and uncertainties is included in the MD&A section and risk factor sections of our periodic SEC filings. Additionally, some of the statements made on this call relate to non-GAAP measures. For additional information on the most directly comparable GAAP measure and a reconciliation of these measures, please refer to the supplemental slides and segment information, including our full financial schedules, also available at nisource.com. With all of that out of the way, I'd like to turn the call over to Lloyd.
