Anthony James Pettinari - Citigroup Inc., Research Division - Director & US Paper, Packaging & Building Products Analyst
Good morning, and welcome to Citi's 2021 Basic Materials Conference. I'm Anthony Pettinari, packaging analyst here at Citi, and we're very pleased to host David Sewell, CEO; and Alex Pease, CFO of WestRock.
I think we're going to jump right into our discussion, and those on the line can submit questions to me through the portal or just e-mail me also if you need any disclosures.
So David and Alex, thank you for joining us. And maybe if we can just start off with containerboard market conditions. You recently reported earnings and talked about shipments in October, kind of sequentially improving over September. How would you characterize market conditions heading into the end of the year? Any notable end market trends that you'd flag? Maybe if you could help us with that.
Questions and Answers:
