Thank you, operator. Hello, everyone, and thank you for joining today's call. Please note that on today's call management will be referring to non-GAAP financial measures and making forward-looking statements. You can refer to several related cautionary notes on Page 2 for more information.

Also, unless otherwise indicated, our materials and comments refer to figures in U.S. dollars and any comparisons made are to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year.

Now, please turn to Page 3, where you will find the agenda for today's call. I am joined by Aaron Erter, Chief Executive Officer of James Hardie; and Rachel Wilson, our Chief Financial Officer. Aaron will share key messages for the quarter and discuss our strategy before handing it over to Rachel, who will go through our results in more depth, detail our outlook and guidance and provide an update on our financial position and capital allocation framework. Then Aaron will return to summarize and close out our prepared remarks. At that time, we will move to Q&A.

I'm now pleased to hand the call over to our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Aaron Erter.
