Also joining us today are Joel Bender, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Steven Bender, Vice President of Operations, and David Isaac, our General Counsel and Vice President of Administration. Yesterday, we issued our earnings release, which is available on our website. Please note that any comments we make on today's call regarding projections or our expectations for future events are forward looking statements covered by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act.

In addition, during today's call, we will reference certain non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in our earnings release. With that, I will turn the call to Scott.
Thanks, John. Good morning, everyone. Last quarter, we were among the first to set realistic expectations for our industry. Since then, oil prices have rapidly recovered to approximately $40 a barrel, completion activity looks to have dropped, and we appear to be approaching a bottom in the U.S. rig count that is marginally higher than previously forecasted. Nonetheless, we remain committed to further streamlining our existing operations as we expect activity to remain below the levels needed to support the current industry capacity. The second quarter was better than expected for Cactus. Although drilling and completion activity in the U.S. fell by more than half, we demonstrated the variable cost nature of this business through industry leading margins and significant free cash flow generation. In summary, second quarter revenues were $67 million. Adjusted EBITDA was over $22 million. adjusted EBITDA margins were approximately 34%. Our cash balance increased by $40 million to $271 million, and we paid a quarterly dividend of 9 cents per share. I now turn the call over to Steve Tadlock, our CFO, who will review our financial results. Following his remarks, I'll provide some thoughts on our outlook for the near term before opening the lines for Q&A. So, Steve?
