Good morning. My name is Chris, and I’ll be your conference operator today. At this time, I’d like to welcome everyone to the SunCoke Energy’s First Quarter 2022 Earnings Call. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After the speaker’s remarks, there will be a question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions] Thank you.

Shantanu Agrawal, Vice President Finance and Investor Relations. You may begin.

Shantanu Agrawal

Good morning, and thank you for joining us this morning to discuss SunCoke Energy’s first quarter 2022 results. With me today are Mike Rippey, President and Chief Executive Officer; and Mark Marinko, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Following management’s prepared remarks, we’ll open the call for Q&A.

This conference call is being webcast live on the Investor Relations section of our website and a replay will be available later today. If we don’t get to your questions on the call today, please feel free to reach out to our Investor Relations team.

Before I turn things over to Mike, let me remind you that the various remarks we make on today’s call regarding future expectations constitute forward-looking statements. The cautionary language regarding forward-looking statements in our SEC filings apply to the remarks we make today. These documents are available on our website as our reconciliations to non-GAAP financial measures discussed on today’s call.

With that, I’ll now turn things over to Mike.

Michael Rippey

Thanks, Shantanu. Good morning, and thank you all for joining us on today’s call. Today, we announced SunCoke Energy’s first quarter results. And before I turn it over to Mark, who will review the results in detail, I want to discuss a few highlights. As always, I want to start by thanking all of our SunCoke employees for their commitment and contributions, what was a record quarter for SunCoke.

Our Domestic Coke fleet delivered excellent results this quarter and the main driver behind these results is our continued success in the foundry and export coke markets. Strong commodity markets and rising demand for our products provided a favorable backdrop for an excellent start to the year, despite some challenges due to unusually wet winter weather. We are pleased to have our operations continue to run at full capacity and look forward to a period of dry weather.
