Dennis A. Smith - Nabors Industries Ltd.
Management
Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining Nabors' earnings teleconference to review our third quarter results. Today, we will follow our customary format with Tony Petrello, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer; and William Restrepo, our Chief Financial Officer, providing perspectives on the results, along with insights into our markets and how we expect Nabors to perform in these markets. In support of these remarks, we have posted some slides to our website, which you can access to follow along with the presentation if you desire. They are accessible in two ways. One, if you are participating by webcast, they are available as a download within the webcast. Alternatively, you can download the slides from Investor Relations section of nabors.com under the Events Calendar submenu, where you will find them listed as Supporting Materials under the conference call listing. Instructions for the replay are posted on the website as well. With us today, in addition to Tony, William and myself, are Siggi Meissner, President of Global Drilling; Chris Papouras, our President of Nabors Drilling Solutions; John Sanchez, our Chief Operating Officer for Canrig; and other members of our senior management team. Since much of our commentary today will concern our expectations of the future, they may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties as disclosed by Nabors from time to time in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result of these factors, our actual results may differ materially from those indicated or implied by such forward-looking statements. Also, during the call, we may discuss certain non-GAAP financial measures such as adjusted operating income, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, operating income loss and free cash flow. We have posted to the Investor Relations section of our website a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most recent comparable GAAP measures. Before I turn the call over to Tony, I would like to apprise everyone of our upcoming Analyst Day on Thursday, November 10, here in Houston. Attendance is pretty strong, but we still have room to accommodate a few more attendees. And if you did not previously receive an invitation, just e-mail or call us, and we'll be happy to send one to you. In addition to a comprehensive financial review, we intend to elaborate on our vision of the future rig market requirements, both domestically and internationally. That will include detailed presentations on pad-optimal rig features. We also plan the site visits to our Remote Operations Center and a nearby yard where we will feature our PACE-X and M800 rigs, our suite of downhole tools, our rig automation and downhole integration systems and our new rig operating software system. Now, I'll turn the call over to Tony.
