Vital Energy, Inc.

Good day, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Vital Energy's Inc. Third Quarter 2023 Earnings Conference Call. My name is Desiree, and I will be your operator for today. At this time, all participants are in listen-only mode. We will be conducting a question and answer session after financial and operations report. As a reminder, this conference is being recorded for replay purposes. It is now my pleasure to introduce Mr. Ron Haygood, Vice President, Investor Relations. You may proceed, sir.

Thank you, and good morning.

Joining me today are Jason Pigott, President and Chief Executive Officer, Brian Limmerman, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Katie Hill, Vice President, Operations, as well as additional members of our management team. During today's call, we'll be making forward-looking statements. These statements, including those describing our beliefs, goals, expectations, forecasts, and assumptions, are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Our actual results may differ from these forward-looking statements for a variety of reasons, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, we will be making reference to non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations to GAAP financial measures are included in the press release and presentation we issued last night describing our financial and operating results.
