Thank you for standing by. My name is Bailey and I will be the conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the Noble Corporation Q3 Earnings Call. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After the speakers' remarks, there will be a question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions]

I would now like to turn the call over to Ian Macpherson, Vice President of Investor Relations.

Ian Macpherson

Thank you operator and welcome everyone to Noble Corporation's third quarter 2023 earnings conference call. You can find a copy of our earnings report along with the supporting statements and schedules on our website at noblecorp.com. This conference call will be accompanied by a slide presentation that you can also find located at the Investor Relations section of our website.

Today's call will feature prepared remarks from our President and CEO, Robert Eifler as well as our CFO, Richard Barker. Also joining on the call are Blake Denton, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Contracts; and Joey Kawaja, Senior Vice President of Operations.

During the course of this call, we may make certain forward-looking statements regarding various matters related to our business and companies that are not historical facts. Such statements are based upon current expectations and assumptions of management and are therefore subject to certain risks and uncertainties.

Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements and Noble does not assume any obligation to update these statements.

Also note, we are referencing non-GAAP financial measures on the call today. You can find the required supplemental disclosure for these measures including the most directly comparable GAAP measure and an associated reconciliation in our earnings report issued yesterday and filed with the SEC.

With that, I'll turn the call over to Robert Eifler, President and CEO of Noble.

Robert Eifler

Good morning. Welcome everyone and thank you for joining us on the call today. I'll begin with some opening remarks on our quarterly results and then provide some comments on the market outlook and commercial activity before turning the call over to Richard to cover the financials.
