Thank you, everyone, for joining us. This is John Roberts from UBS. Welcome to the UBS-hosted fireside chat with Andrew Sandifer, Chief Financial Officer of FMC Corp.; and Michael Wherley, Head of Investor Relations for FMC Corp. Also with me on the call is the UBS team of Josh Spector, Matt Skowronski, Lucas Beaumont and James Cannon. I'll make some opening remarks, and then Andrew and I are going to have a prepared Q&A about FMC Corp. (Operator Instructions)
Let me just start with our buy rating on FMC Corp. The crop protection chemical market is still somewhat fragmented because there are so many different crops, so many different pests and regulatory requirements are highly regional. FMC is among the 5 largest firms
