Summit Midstream Corporation

Good day, and thank you for standing by. Welcome to the 2024 Second Summit Midstream Earnings Conference 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 11 on your telephone. You'll then hear an automated message advising your hand is raised. To withdraw your question, please press star 11 again. Please be advised that today's conference is being recorded. I would now like to hand the conference over to your first speaker today, Randall Burton, Director of Finance and Investment Relations.

Please go ahead. Thanks, Operator, and good morning, everyone.

If you don't already have a copy of our earnings release, please visit our website at www.summitmidstream.com, where you'll find it on the homepage, events and presentations section, or quarterly results section. With me today to discuss our second quarter of 2024 financial and operating results is Heath Deneke, our president, chief executive officer and chairman, Bill Malt, our chief financial officer, along with other members of our senior management team. Before we start, I'd like to remind you that our discussion today may contain forward-looking statements. These statements may include but are not limited to our estimates of future volumes, operating expenses, and capital expenditures. They may also include statements concerning anticipated cash flow, liquidity, business strategy, and other plans and objectives for future operations. Although we believe that these expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can provide no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Please see SMLP's 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Exhibit 99.1, to the partnership's current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 3, 2024, as well as SMC's registration statement on Form S-4, as declared effective on June 14, 2024, for a listing of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results. Please also note that on this call we use the terms EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow, and free cash flow. These are non-GAAP financial measures, and we have provided reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in our most recent earnings release. And with that, I'll turn the call over to Heath.
