Thank you. Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to the Westlake Chemical Partners fourth quarter and full year 2025 conference call. I'm joined today by Albert Chao, our Executive Chairman, John Mark Gilson, our President and CEO, Steve Bender, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and other members of our management team. During this call, we refer to ourselves as Westlake Partners or the partnership. References to Westlake refer to our parent company, Westlake Corporation, and references to Opco refer to Westlake Chemical Opco LP, a subsidiary of Westlake and a partnership which owns certain Oliphant's assets. Additionally, when we refer to distributable cash flow, we were referring to Westlake Chemical Partners MLP distributable cash flow. Definitions of these terms are available on the partnership's website. Today, management is going to discuss certain topics that will contain forward-looking information that is based on management's beliefs, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management. These forward-looking statements suggest predictions or expectations and thus are subject to risks or uncertainties. We encourage you to learn more about the factors that could lead our actual results to differ by reviewing the cautionary statements in our regulatory filings, which are also available on our investor relations website. This morning, Westlake Partners issued a press release with details of our fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial and operating results. This document is available in the press release section of our webpage at wlkpartners.com. A replay of today's call will be available beginning two hours after the conclusion of this call.

Now, I would like to turn the call over to John Mark Gilson. John Mark?
Thank you, Jeff, and good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us to discuss our fourth quarter and full year 2025 results. In this morning's press release, we reported Westlake Partners' full year 2025 net income of $49 million, or $1.38 per unit. Consolidated net income, including OPCO, was $299 million for the full year 2025. Westlake Partners' financial results continue to demonstrate the stability generated from our fixed margin ethylene sales agreement for 95% of annual plant production each year, insulating us from market volatility and other production risks. This structure, combined with our investment-grade sponsor, Westlake, produces predictable earnings and stable cash flows. This was evident in 2025 as we delivered another year of solid results and sustained distributions to our unit holders. The stable, fee-based cash flow generated by our fixed-margin Italian sales contract with Westlake forms the foundation for us to deliver long-term value to our unit holders. This quarter's distribution is the 46th consecutive quarterly distribution since our IPO in July of 2014 without any reductions. I would now like to turn our call over to Steve to provide more detail on the financial and operating results for the quarter and full year. Steve?
