SandRidge Energy, Inc.

Good day and thank you for standing by. Welcome to the Sandridge Energy first quarter 2021 earnings call. At this time, all participants are in listen only mode. After the speaker's presentation, there will be a question and answer session. To ask a question during the session, you'll need to press star one on your telephone. Please be advised that today's conference is being recorded. If you require any further assistance, please press star zero. I would now like to hand the conference over to your speaker today, Brandon Brown. Please go ahead.

Thank you, and welcome, everyone. With me today are Carl Giesler, our CEO, Salah Gamoudi, our CFO, and Grayson Prannon, our COO, as well as other members of Mainland. We would like to remind you that today's call contains forward-looking statements and assumptions, which are subject to risk and uncertainty. and actual results may differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We may also refer to adjusted EBITDA and adjusted DNA and other non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of these measures can be found on our website.

Thank you and good morning. Hopefully you've had time to peruse the earnings release and investor presentation we posted yesterday after the market closed. We typically aim to keep brief our prepared remarks. Today, however, we plan on being more expansive. Over the last several years, and particularly during 2020, the Board of Management have worked to reset, if you will, our company in almost all respects. from focusing our asset base to streamlining our capital, organizational and cost structures, to reassessing and tightening our capital allocation. Accordingly, we think it would be useful to your assessment of our company if you walked through the presentation in addition to reviewing our 1Q21 earnings. Before turning to that presentation, though, Talal will touch on a few highlights from our first quarter earnings.
