Good morning. My name is Nikki, and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to Goodyear's Fourth Quarter 2023 Earnings Call. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After some opening remarks, there will be a question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions]

Today on the call we have Mark Stewart, Goodyear's Chief Executive Officer and Christina Zamarro, Chief Financial Officer.

During this call, Goodyear will refer to forward-looking statements and non-GAAP financial measures. Forward-looking statements involve risks, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those forward-looking statements. For more information on the more significant factors that could affect future results, please refer to the important disclosures section of Goodyear's Fourth Quarter 2023 Investor Letter and their filings with the SEC, which can be found on their website at investor.goodyear.com, where a replay of this call will also be available. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures that may be discussed on today's call to the comparable GAAP measures is also included in the investor letter.

I will now turn the call over to Mark Stewart, CEO.

Mark Stewart

Thank you, Nikki. Good morning, everybody, and thank you for joining Christina and I this morning for what is my first conference call as the Goodyear CEO. I'm just now over two weeks in my new role. I could not be more excited to have joined this iconic company. As you guys can imagine, I'm working diligently, quickly to a deep understanding of our business. I'm meeting with our people, visiting our factories, getting to know our customers, our products, our cost structures, and doing that through operational deep dives.

I'm looking forward to engaging with the investment community as well over the course of the next several months to gain your perspective as well. As many of you have read, my most recent role was at Stellantis, where I ran the company's North America operations and a key leader on the global executive team. I will bring a perspective from an automotive OEM and automotive supplier background and the understanding of needing to lead through industry cyclicality and a clear focus on manufacturing, purchasing, engineering and logistics in order for us to achieve our financials.
