Good day, and thank you for standing by. Welcome to the Q4 2022 OGE Energy Corp. Earnings Conference Call. [Operator Instructions]. Please be advised that today's conference is being recorded. I would now like to hand the conference over to your speaker today, Jason Bailey, Director of Investor Relations. Please go ahead.

Jason Bailey

Thank you, Rizko, and good morning, everyone, and welcome to OGE Energy Corp.'s Fourth Quarter 2022 Earnings Call. With me today, I have Sean Trauschke, our Chairman, President and CEO; and Bryan Buckler, our CFO. In terms of the call today, we will first hear from Sean, followed by an explanation from Bryan of financial results. And finally, as always, we will answer your questions.

I'd like to remind you that this conference is being webcast and you may follow along at oge.com. In addition, the conference call and accompanying slides will be archived following the call on that same website.

Before we begin the presentation, I'd like to direct your attention to the safe harbor statement regarding forward-looking statements. This is an SEC requirement for financial statements and simply states that we cannot guarantee forward-looking financial results, but this is our best estimate to date.

I will now turn the call over to Sean for his opening remarks. Sean?

Robert Trauschke

Thank you, Jason. Good morning, everyone. Thank you for being with us this morning. Before we get started on our financial results, I want to take some time to highlight our team who safely delivers reliable, resilient, secure energy at low rates to our customers every day. Once again, in 2022, our team delivered results for our customers, our communities and our shareholders, even as continued economic and inflationary pressure impacted all of us.

I have confidence in our team and the company to deliver a great future for all of our stakeholders. We are pleased with the financial plan that we are presenting to you this morning and proud to extend our long-term earnings guidance another year into 2027, without the need for any additional equity. Let me be clear, the plan we've put together for 2023 is exactly in line with the commitment we made to you to consistently deliver 5% to 7% earnings per share growth at the electric company based off 2021's original midpoint.
