Thanks Erin, and good morning everyone. We're glad to be with you to discuss our first quarter results and to affirm our guidance. We delivered strong results in the first quarter with adjusted EPS growing 6% year over year, despite one of the warmest winters in the history of our service territory, 25% warmer than the first quarter last year. Our performance reflects disciplined execution of our long-term plan, advancing our regulatory strategy, driving operational efficiencies, and supporting growing customer needs. We continue to meet our growth targets while maintaining a strong focus on customer affordability, which was particularly important during a volatile winter. While conditions were historically warm across Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, we did experience winter storm Fern in January, a brief isolated cold event that temporarily drove higher gas prices across our service territory. Our 20% increase in storage capacity since winter storm URI allowed us to shield customers from price volatility and save $98 million relative to purchasing gas at spot prices. Ultimately, this performance reflects the same focus that guides our business every day. Safe, reliable, and affordable service to our customers and long-term value creation for our investors. Safety remains a priority for our company. Our strong performance in 2025, especially in the areas of workplace safety and safe driving, continues to place One Gas among the safest natural gas utilities in the nation. The Safety Achievement Award is given each year by the American Gas Association to companies who experience the fewest number of serious injuries when compared to peers. Last month, AGA named One Gas as the winner of this award for 2025. the ninth consecutive year One Gas has received the Safety Achievement Award. We're grateful for the commitment and dedication of our entire workforce to operating safely as we serve our customers and support our coworkers. Now I'll ask Chris to discuss the details of our financial performance and regulatory activities. Chris?
