Thank you, Mark. Good morning and welcome to Oil State's fourth quarter 2024 earnings conference call. Our call today will be led by our President and CEO, Cindy Taylor, and Lloyd Hodgick, Oil State's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Before we begin, we would like to caution listeners regarding forward-looking statements. To the extent that our remarks today contain information other than historical information, please note that we are relying on the safe harbor protections afforded by federal law. No one should assume that these forward-looking statements remain valid later in the quarter or beyond. Any such remarks should be weighed in the context of the many factors that affect our business, including those risks disclosed in our 2023 Form 10-K, along with other recent SEC filings. This call is being webcast and can be accessed at Oil State's website. A replay of the conference call will be available two hours after the completion of this call and will continue to be available for 12 months. I'll now turn the call over to Cindy.
Thank you, Ellen. Good morning and thank you for joining our conference call today where we will discuss our fourth quarter 2024 results and provide our thoughts on market trends in addition to discussing our company-specific outlook. Through the fourth quarter, we continued to build momentum towards achieving our strategic objectives supported by strong demand in offshore and international sectors while overcoming some headwinds in U.S. domestic land-based activities. With continued expansion of our international and offshore product offerings, along with the strategic optimization of our U.S. land-driven businesses, our international and offshore revenues by destination grew to 72% of our consolidated revenues for the quarter, while U.S. land-driven revenues represented 28%. As we have discussed in prior quarters, we have strategically streamlined our operations in the United States through the exit of underperforming locations and business lines. Our focus on business mix optimization continued during the fourth quarter. Along these lines, we completed the sale of a previously idled facility netting cash proceeds of $24.8 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain at $15.3 million. Our offshore and international operations grew sequentially in terms of revenue and bookings during the fourth quarter. However, improvements in these regions were offset by our U.S. land-driven operations due to a declining frac spread count triggered by typical fourth quarter seasonality. Our completion and production work in the Gulf of America has rebounded to higher activity levels early in 2025 from a slower second half of 2024 following adverse third quarter weather events. We remain dedicated to growing our operations and strategically investing in our most profitable business areas supported by advanced technologies. We will also continue to focus on the return of cash to our shareholders. During the quarter, we generated cash flows from operations totaling $18 million and repurchased $9 million of our common stock. During 2025, we expect to generate strong free cash flow, allowing for further shareholder returns. Lloyd will now review our operating results along with our financial position in more detail.
