Univar Solutions Inc.

Hello, everyone, and thank you for joining the Univar Solutions Third Quarter 2022 Earnings Conference Call. My name is Darius, and I'll be the operator for today. Before I hand you over to your host, Heather Colt, I would like to remind you that if you would like to ask a question during the Q&A session at the end of the call, please press star 4 by 1 in your telephone keypad. And I have the pleasure of handing you over to your host, Heather Colt. Please go ahead. Your line is now open.

Thank you, and good morning. Welcome to Univar Solutions Third Quarter Earnings Call and Webcast. Joining our call today are David Jukes, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Nick Alexos, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Last night, we released our financial results for the third quarter ended September 30th, 2022, and posted to our corporate website at univarsolutions.com a supplemental slide presentation to go with today's call. The slide presentation should be viewed along with the earnings release, which has also been posted on our website. During this call, as summarized on slide two, we will refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures for which you can find the reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and our earnings release and the supplemental slide presentation. As referenced on slide two, we make statements about our estimates, projections, outlook, forecast, and or expectations for the future. All such statements are forward-looking, and while they reflect our current estimates, they involve risks and uncertainties and are not guarantees of future performance. Please see our SEC filings for a more detailed summary of the risks and uncertainties inherent in our business and our expectations for the future. With that, I'll now turn the call over to David for his opening remarks.

Thank you, Heather. Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening to everyone, and thanks for joining our call. This quarter, we're going to take a slightly different approach to our earnings call, and there are four messages I want to leave you with. Firstly, over the last three years, we have fundamentally transformed our companies. Second, we're well on track to deliver record results in 2022. Third, we are a high-performing, critically important, chemistry agnostic service provider serving a diverse range of life sciences, consumer, and industrial end markets. We are not a chemical producer. And fourth, we're confident in our future for 2023 and beyond. But first, let me hand it over to Nick. He will talk you through our third quarter results and will also affirm our guidance for the full year. Nick?
