Good day, and thank you for standing by. Welcome to the Q3 2023 Black Hills Corporation Earnings Conference Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. After the speakers’ presentation, there will be a question-and-answer session. [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, Jerome Nichols, Director of Investor Relations.

Jerome Nichols

Thank you. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to Black Hills Corporation's third quarter 2023 earnings conference call. You can find our earnings release and materials for this call on our website at www.blackhillscorp.com under the Investor Relations heading. Leading our quarterly earnings discussion today are Lind Evans, President and Chief Executive Officer; and Kimberly Nooney, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Also attending this morning are Marne Jones, Senior Vice President of Utilities; and Todd Jacobs, Senior Vice President, Growth and Strategy.

Before we begin today, we would like to note that Black Hills will be attending the Edison Electric Institute's Financial Conference on November 12 through November 14. Our leadership team will be meeting with investors at the conference and the investor presentation will be posted on our website prior to the conference. During our earnings discussion today, some of the comments we make may contain forward-looking statements as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and there are a number of uncertainties in here in such comments.

Although we believe that our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, actual results may differ materially. We direct you to our earnings release, Slide 2 of the investor presentation on our website and our most recent Form 10-K and Form 10-Q filed with the SEC for a list of some of the factors that could cause future results to differ materially from our expectations.

I will now turn the call over to Lind Evans.

Linden Evans

Thank you, Jerome, and thank you all for joining us today. I will provide an overview of our third quarter. Kimberly will provide our financial update, and Marne and Todd will provide more detail on our ongoing operational performance and strategy.
