Hello, everyone, and thank you for joining the Excelerate Energy Second Quarter 2022 Earnings Conference. My name is Terrence, I'll be moderating your call today. [Operator Instructions].

I now have the pleasure of handing over to your host, Craig Hicks, Vice President, Investor Relations and ESG Excelerate Energy. Please go ahead, Craig. Your line is now open.

Craig Hicks

Thank you, and good morning, everyone. Yesterday afternoon, we released our earnings press release, along with the presentation that our President and Chief Executive Officer, Steven Kobos; and our Chief Financial Officer, Dana Armstrong, will speak to you this morning.

I would like to remind everyone that we will be making forward-looking statements on this call that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements, and we make no obligation to update or revise them.

During the call, we'll also discuss some non-GAAP financial measures. We provided a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures at the back of the presentation.

With that, it's my pleasure to pass the call over to Steven Kobos.

Steven Kobos

Thanks, Craig, and thank you all for joining us this morning. Our second quarter results demonstrate our continued strong momentum. We are helping our customers enhance their energy security, while supporting their decarbonization efforts, especially during these times of volatile energy prices and heightened attention to climate change.

We are focused on strengthening our base business and expanding downstream into new and existing markets as we execute our strategy of deploying flexible LNG infrastructure and gaining valuable access to natural gas markets.

I'll focus my remarks today on 4 topics: Excelerate's second quarter financial results, the value of our downstream business model, the current state of the global LNG market and progress on our key projects. Dana will then walk through the details of our quarterly performance and our 2022 outlook before we open up the call to your questions.
