Pierre Lescastereyres -
Hello, everyone. My name is Pierre Lescastereyres. I'm the Global Head of Chemicals and Capital Markets and Advisory for Credit Suisse. Welcome to the Credit Suisse Basic Materials Conference. And it's my pleasure today to introduce Willie McLain, CFO of Eastman Chemical; and Greg Riddle, Vice President, IR of Eastman Chemical as well.
Willie, Greg, maybe we can start by a few questions.
Questions and Answers:
Pierre Lescastereyres -The first one, can you comment on the current market environment? How do you see supply, demand across your main business line or mainland market, just to give a sense to the audience of the environment you're facing?
William Thomas McLain - Eastman Chemical Company - CFO & Senior VP

I would say the key and the primary issue that we see right now is supply chain
