Thank you, Libby. We've got a special guest with us today. Sam Hawley, our Vice President of Wholesale Propane is with us, and I wanted -- we wanted to publicly acknowledge his contributions to the company. Sam has been in the industry over 30 years, with Enterprise over 20 years, and I can say I've never known anyone with more passion for our company, for his business and for his people. He will be missed my friend. With that, I want to cover a few highlights in the first quarter and summarize the things we look forward to. We had adjusted EBITDA of $2.4 billion, $2 billion Bcf, 1.7x coverage, $842 million of retained DCF, two financial records and five operational records. In total, we moved 13.2 million barrels of oil equivalent a day and 2 million barrels a day of liquid hydrocarbon exports. Relative to our PDH facilities, our PDH 1 facility was down for 63 days during the third -- first quarter of 2025 for unplanned maintenance. As of last week, both our PDH plants are online and no major downtime is planned at either plant for the remainder of the year. If both PDH plants have been up and running during the first quarter, we would have easily exceeded $2.5 billion. We continue to benefit from growing production in the Permian and consistent domestic and international energy demand pool across our systems. For the remainder of 2025, we look forward to bringing on two guest processing plants in the third quarter in the Permian, one each in the Delaware and Midland Basin, the Bahia NGL pipeline in the fourth quarter, Frac 14 at our Mont Belvieu complex in the third quarter, the first phase of NGL exports on the Neches River in the fourth quarter and enhancements of our ethane and ethylene terminal at Morgan's Point also in the fourth quarter. I'm sure Tony or Natalie will discuss our Permian outlook in more detail during Q&A, but there's a large backlog of wells expected to be connected to our gathering and processing systems between now and the end of the year that will feed our downstream NGL value chain. On the other side of the equation, exports, I've never U.S. hydrocarbons get this much attention worldwide. But now it appears China is going to exclude ethane and ethylene from their tariffs to protect their petrochemical business. Currently, LPG has not been excluded from the Chinese part tariffs, but admittedly, the situation is fluid. Regardless, the market has already gone to work rerouting barrels between the world's biggest LPG suppliers, the U.S. and the Middle East and the biggest importing countries being China and India. It's important to note that even before the tariff calls, nominations at our docs from May indicated that our customers' behavior was virtually unchanged from prior months. The bottom line is the world needs U.S. oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids to provide for their people and to grow their economies. Relative to all the chaos, the beauty of free markets is price always works. Price creates supply, price creates demand in the right places and for the most part, in a timely manner. I can't help myself, but today with comments on Washington. Stating the obvious a lot is going on that is causing nothing short of chaos around the world. Energy is not excluded. No one can tell how all the pieces land. So I think we must fall back on what we think we know. President Trump was extremely fuel oil and gas in his first term and ran in on a second term on a pro oil and gas platform, stressing that we must unleash and expand our domestic energy production and exports. There is also no doubt that the Trump administration understands the importance of U.S. hydrocarbons to our economy, global markets and our balance of trade. Amid all this uncertainty, I have the core belief that when the dust settles in game of this administration's policies, laws and regulations is intended to promote U.S. energy, not just for the next four years, but for decades. Enterprise is one of the largest exporter of hydrocarbons and is significantly increasing our capacity to gather, process transport, upgrade, distribute and export hydrocarbons. We feel great about our assets and the investments we are making and what they mean to our future. With that turning to Randy.
