Greetings and welcome to the Select Water Solutions 2023 Fourth Quarter and Year-End Earnings Conference Call. At this time, all participants are in listen-only mode. A brief question and answer session will follow the formal presentation. If anyone should require operator assistance during the conference, please press star zero on your telephone keypad. As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. It is now my pleasure to introduce your host, Chris George, Senior Vice President, Corporate Development, Investor Relations, and Sustainability. Thank you. You may begin.
Thank you, Operator, and good morning, everyone. We appreciate you joining us for Select Water Solutions conference call and webcast to review our financial and operational results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2023. With me today are John Schmitz, our Founder, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, Nick Swyka, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and Michael Skarkey, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. Before I turn the call over to John, I have a few housekeeping items to cover. A replay of today's call will be available by webcast and accessible from our website at selectwater.com. There will also be a recorded telephonic replay available until March 6, 2024. The access information for this replay was also included in yesterday's earnings release. Please note that the information reported on this call speaks only as of today, February 21st, 2024, and therefore time-sensitive information may no longer be accurate as of the time of the replay listening or transcript reading. In addition, the comments made by management during this conference call may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements reflect the current views of Select's management. However, various risks, uncertainties, and contingencies could cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those expressed in the statements made by management. A listener is encouraged to read our annual report on Form 10-K, our current reports on Form 8-K, as well as our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q to understand those risks, uncertainties, and contingencies. Please refer to our earnings announcement released yesterday for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures. As a reminder, the company made certain changes to its segment reporting structure during the second quarter of 2023. These changes were driven by several operational and strategic factors. However, the changes in segment reporting have no impact on the company's historical financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Prior periods have been recast to include the water sourcing and temporary water logistics operations within the water services segment and remove these results of operations from the water infrastructure segment. Historical segment information recasted to conform to the new reporting structure is available as supplemental financial information in the investor sections of the company's website at www.investors.selectwater.com. Please refer to the company's current report on Form 8K filed with the SEC concurrent with our earnings release for additional information. Now I'd like to turn the call over to our Founder Chairman, President and CEO, John Schmitz.
