Hello, everyone. My name is Drew, and I'll be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the Excelerate Energy Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Earnings Conference Call. [Operator Instructions]

I will now turn the call over to Craig Hicks, Vice President, Investor Relations. You may begin your conference.

Craig Hicks

Good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining Excelerate Energy's fourth quarter and full year 2023 earnings call. Participating on the call today are Steven Kobos, President and Chief Executive Officer; and Dana Armstrong, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Also joining the call today is Oliver Simpson, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer.

Our fourth quarter and full year 2023 earnings results press release and presentation were released yesterday afternoon and can be found on our website at ir.excelerateenergy.com. I would like to remind everyone that we will be making forward-looking statements on this call that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements, and we make no obligation to update or revise them. Today's remarks will also refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures. We have provided a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures at the back of the presentation.

With that, it is my pleasure to pass the call over to Steven Kobos.

Steven Kobos

Thanks, Craig. Hi, and thank you all for joining us on this call this morning. I look forward to our time together.

In recent months, I've had conversations with many of you on this call, our analysts, our investors, people around the world who believe in Excelerate's unique potential, as well as some folks who are just new to the Excelerate story.

I'd say there's a common thread in what we've heard from those discussions. That is, there's some questions about our plans to deploy capital to promote growth. The steps we intend to take to drive near term value creation. And I'd say, most importantly, the alignment of our capital allocation plans with our business strategy.
