SM Energy Company

Good morning. My name is Rob and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I'd like to welcome everyone to the SM Energy fourth quarter 2022 results and 2023 plan Q&A discussion. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After the speaker's brief remarks, there will be a question and answer session. If you would like to ask a question during this time, simply press star followed by the number one on your telephone keypad. If you would like to withdraw your question, again, press the star 1. Thank you. Jennifer Samuels, Vice President, Investor Relations and ESG Stewardship, you may begin your conference.

Thanks, Rob. Good morning, everyone. We come to you this morning from a chilly Denver. It just warmed up to minus 2 degrees. Thank you for joining us today. To answer your questions, we have our President and CEO, Herb Vogel, and CFO, Wade Purcell. As usual, before we get started, I will remind you that our discussion today may include forward-looking statements and discussion of non-GAAP measures. I direct you to slide 2 of the accompanying slide deck, page 8 of the accompanying earnings release, and the risk factors section of our most recently filed 10-K, 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. As a reminder, we have posted to our website an investor presentation and the transcript to our pre-recorded call that we may reference today. And also look for our 2022 annual report filed on Form 10-K this morning. With that, I will turn it back to Rob to open it up for questions. Rob?

At this time, I would like to remind everyone, in order to ask a question, press star, then the number 1 on your telephone keypad. We ask that you please limit yourself to one question and one follow-up.
