Thanks, John, and good morning to everyone. The year in which the U.S. rate count was down 55% year over year, CACTUS showcased its ability to outperform by recording adjusted EBITDA margins of nearly 35%, and generating free cash flow of 117 million. We were able to offset a portion of the general activity decline by growing our market share from 31% at year end 2019 to a record 43% by the fourth quarter of 2020. We were further pleased to see overall activity begin to improve during the fourth quarter, a trend which continued in early 2021. We ended the year with no bank debt and $289 million in cash. So in summary, fourth quarter revenues were just above $68 million. Adjusted EBITDA was approximately $20 million. Adjusted EBITDA margins were 29%. Our cash balance increased to nearly $289 million. And we paid a quarterly dividend of $0.09 per share. Now I'll turn the call over to Steve Tadlock, our CFO, who will review our financial results. And following his remarks, I'll provide some thoughts on our outlook for the near term before opening the lines for Q&A. Steve?
