Please welcome to the stage Danilo Giuveni, Vice President of Investor Relations, ESG, and Investment Analysis.

Good morning, everyone, for joining us, and thank you for your interest in the Williams Companies. This morning, we released our presentation and earnings press release. And starting off the event, we will have our president and CEO, Alan Armstrong. He will kick off our event. He will be followed by Michael Dunn, our chief operating officer. Subsequent to that, we'll have Chad Zamarin, our executive vice president of corporate strategic development. And then John Porter, our chief financial officer, will end the session with the financial outlook portion of the event. We will then take a very quick break and have Lane Wilson, our general counsel, and Debbie Pickle, our chief HR officer, join us for the Q&A portion of the presentation today. For some housekeeping here, in our presentation materials, you'll find a disclaimer related to four related statements. This disclaimer is important and integral to our remarks, and you should review it. Also included in the presentation materials are non-GAAP measures that will reconcile the generally accepted accounting principles. And these reconciliation schedules appear at the back of today's presentation materials. And we'll get the event started this morning. So with that, I'll ask Mr. Alan Armstrong to come up and kick it off. Thank you.
