James C. OâRourke - The Mosaic Company - CEO, President & Director
Good morning. Thank you for listening in on our first quarter virtual fireside chat. By now, you've seen our earnings release and the commentary, and so we would like to spend an hour or so answering the questions we received last night. We'll do our best to answer every question, and we've consolidated questions where they're similar to each other.
Before we begin, I would like to reiterate our key themes. First, our markets are holding up well and global fertilizer demand is strong. COVID-19 has obviously made for a very dynamic business environment, and agriculture must and will continue to produce. And secondly, we're delivering strong operating performance and making real strategic progress across the company. We've lowered costs, increased efficiency and created leverage for the years ahead.
So now, Laura, let's take the first question.
