Thanks, Hans. Good morning, and thank you for joining our call. I'll start on slide four with our third quarter highlights. Our uncoated free ship sales volume increased quarter over quarter by 7%. Our teams also executed well, resulting in improved operational performance. We returned $60 million in cash to share owners by distributing $18 million via the third quarter dividend and repurchasing $42 million in shares. Our board also approved a new 150 million share repurchase authorization in the quarter. Let's move to the next slide. Slide five shows a third quarter key financial metrics. We earn adjusted a bid of 151 million with a margin of 18%. Free cash flow was 33 million. And we generated adjusted operating earnings of $1 and $0.44 per share. Now I will turn it over to Dom to review our performance in more detail.
