Thanks, John, and good morning to everyone. Our business improved materially during the four quarters. and I was particularly proud of the returns achieved in our product business line in light of supply chain challenges. As mentioned on our last earnings call, we made the conscious decision to proactively add inventory and people, believing that activity gains were on the horizon. As a result, we are now well positioned to capitalize on further growth in our industry. Some fourth quarter highlights include revenue increased 13% sequentially, outpacing the gain in the U.S. land rig count. Adjusted EBITDA improved by 14% sequentially. Adjusted EBITDA margins were 28%, up 50 basis points versus the third quarter. We paid a quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share, and we ended the quarter with $302 million in cash and no debt. Following the quarter, due to our financial strength and performance through the cycle, our board increased the quarterly dividend by 10% to $0.11 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.
