Thank you Dennis, and good evening, everyone. Livent had another very strong financial performance in the third quarter as the business continues to achieve record levels of profitability. Q3 adjusted EBITDA of $111 million, compared to $15 million, one year ago, to $95 million last quarter. And what remains a very strong market, Livent has continued to achieve high realized prices, while also delivering increased volumes to customers in the third quarter.
