SM Energy Company

Good day. Thank you for standing by and welcome to the SM Energy First Quarter 2022 Financial and Operating Results Q&A. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. 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 Jennifer Samuels, Vice President of Investor Relations. Thank you. Please go ahead.

Good morning and thank you for joining us for our First Quarter 2022 Q&A call. To answer your questions today, we have President and CEO Herb Vogel and CFO Wade Purcell. Before we get started, our discussion today will include forward-looking statements and discussion of non-GAAP measures. I direct you to slide two of the accompanying slide deck, page four of the accompanying earnings release, and the risk factors section of our most recently filed 10-K and 10-Q, which describe risks associated with forward-looking statements that could cause actual results to differ. We may also refer to non-GAAP measures. Please see the slide deck appendix and earnings release for definitions and reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures and discussion of forward-looking non-GAAP measures. Also look this morning for our first quarter 10Q, which we have filed. And with that, I will turn it back to the operator, Blue, to take your questions.

Thank you. At this time, to ask a question, you will need to press star 1 on your telephone keypad. Again, that is star 1 to ask a question. To withdraw your question, just press the pan key. Please limit yourselves to one question and one follow-up. Please stand by while we compile the KNA roster. The first question comes from the line of Leo Mariani from KeyBank. Your line is now open.
