Thanks, Chris, and good morning, everyone. This year, we celebrate 10 years as an independent company and 118 years since the founding of Oklahoma Natural Gas in 1906. We've experienced remarkable growth in the 10 years since our spin-off from ONEOK, including the addition of 230,000 new customer meters, installing over 6,000 miles of new pipe across our system and doubling our earnings per share.

We've deployed best practices and lessons learned over our 118 year history to enhance our system, support customer growth and reliably deliver natural gas that our customers depend on. We've also invested in our workforce, allowing us to achieve excellence in both capital execution and safety, leading to six consecutive years of recognition by the American Gas Association for having the lowest rate of significant injuries amongst our peers, with service territories that continue to benefit from population in migration, focused economic development and access to affordable energy. We look forward to building upon our strong track record in the years and decades to come.
