Okay. Hello, everyone. Thanks for joining the call today. We've got a lot of ground to cover, so I'm going to jump right into prepared remarks. My senior team is also on the line as usual. So I'll be involving them in the Q&A when we get there. So I'm starting on our Q2 highlights slide. On our year-end call in February, you'll all remember that we laid out what I think is a clear strategic plan which included 3 core elements: first of all, maximizing the intrinsic value of our FMC operations, that's critical; second, using the Ventures portfolio to create liquidity to support those operations and to invest in strategic platforms and then most importantly, putting all that together to both create and deliver value to you, shareholders.
