Greetings. Welcome to Vitesse Energy Second Quarter 2023 Earnings Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. A question-and-answer session will follow the formal presentation. Please note this conference is being recorded.

I will now turn the conference over to Ben Messier, Director of Investor Relations. Thank you. You may begin.

Ben Messier

Good morning, and thank you for joining. Today, we will be discussing our financial and operating results for the second quarter of 2023, which we released yesterday after market close. You can access our earnings release and presentation on our Investor Relations website, and our Form 10-Q was filed with the SEC yesterday.

I'm joined here this morning with Vitesse's Chairman and CEO, Bob Gerrity; our President, Brian Cree; and CFO, Dave Macosko. Our agenda for today's call is as follows. Bob will provide opening remarks in the quarter. After Bob, Brian will give you an update on operations, and then Dave will review our Q2 2023 financial results. After the conclusion of our prepared remarks, the executive team will be available to answer questions.

Before we begin, let's cover our safe harbor language. Please be advised that our remarks today, including the answers to your questions, may include forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control that could cause actual results to be materially different from the expectations contemplated by these forward-looking statements. Those risks include, among others, matters that we have described in our earnings release and periodic filings. We disclaim any obligation to update these forward-looking statements, except as may be required by applicable securities laws. During our conference call, we may discuss certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net income, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow. Reconciliations of these measures to the closest GAAP measures can be found in the earnings release that we issued yesterday.

Now I will turn the call over to our Chairman and CEO, Bob Gerrity.
