Good morning, and welcome to the Chesapeake Energy Second Quarter 2023 Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] Please note, this event is being recorded.

I would now like to turn the conference over to Chris Ayers. Please go ahead.

Chris Ayres

Thank you, Marley. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining our call today to discuss Chesapeake's second quarter 2023 financial and operating results. Hopefully, you've had a chance to review our press release and the updated investor presentation that we posted to our website yesterday.

During this morning's call, we will be making forward-looking statements, which consist of statements that cannot be confirmed by reference to existing information, including statements regarding our beliefs, goals, expectations, forecasts, projections and future performance and the assumptions underlying such statements. Please note, there are a number of factors that will cause actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements, including factors identified and discussed in our press release yesterday and other SEC filings.

Please recognize that except as required by applicable law, we undertake no duty to update any forward-looking statements, and you should not place any undue reliance on such statements. We may also refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures, which help facilitate comparisons across periods with peers. For any non-GAAP measure we use a reconciliation to the nearest corresponding GAAP measure and can be found on our website.

With me today on the call are Nick Dell'Osso, Mohit Singh and Josh Viets. Nick will give a brief overview of our results, and then we will open up the teleconference to Q&A.

So with that, thank you again and now turn the teleconference over to Nick.
