Good afternoon, everybody. This is Bob Koort. I head up the chemicals research effort and equities here at Goldman Sachs. And joined by my colleague, Tom Glinski, who helps me cover the coatings sector. We're super excited now to have guys from PPG, Vince Morales, who is Senior VP and CFO; as well as John Bruno, who is VP and in charge of Investor Relations.
Guys, thanks for joining us today. The format will be, Tom and I will ask a bunch of questions. Vince and John, you can submit your questions or e-mail those to us if you have any, and we'll certainly prioritize our client questions.
Questions and Answers:
