Thank you, Laurence. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for being here today. Westlake Chemical, we are a leading integrated materials company, focused in the Olefins and Vinyls business as well as downstream product businesses. Our Olefin business is approximately 30% of our EBITDA and about 25% of revenue. But really we should talk about Vinyls business. We are a vinyls company, 75% of revenue is vinyl, about 70% is EBITDA, and we're trying to increase -- improve on that. The vinyl business includes ethylene, chlor-alkali.
