Thanks, Shantanu. Good morning, and thank you for joining us on today's call. Before we get started, I'd like to congratulate Mike Rippey on his previously announced retirement in two weeks. Mike's leadership and contributions have been crucial to the success of Suncoke during his tenure. I've had the privilege of working closely with Mike over the past several years and look forward to having him as an advisor for the company. The entire Suncoke team wishes him the best in his retirement. Moving to first quarter results, I wanted to share a few highlights before turning it over to Mark to discuss the results in detail. First, I'd like to thank all of our Suncoke employees for their contributions to our very good first quarter results. Our domestic Coke plants continue to run at full capacity with strong operational performance. Our logistics terminals delivered excellent results handling 5.5 million tons during the quarter. We saw higher volumes at our domestic terminals due in part to East Coast port congestion caused by the unfortunate incident in Baltimore, which favorably impacted results. Through our collective efforts, we delivered consolidated adjusted EBITDA of $67.9 million. From a balance sheet perspective, We ended the first quarter with a strong liquidity position of $470.1 million. Our gross leverage was approximately 1.86 times on a trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA basis at the end of the quarter. Looking ahead, we're pleased to have all of our spot blast and foundry Coke sales finalized for the full year. With this strong start, We are well positioned to achieve our full year adjusted EBITDA guidance range of $240 to $255 million. With that, I'll turn it over to Mark to review our first quarter earnings in detail. Mark?
