Fuel Forward: The Digest’s 2019 Enhanced Multi-Slide Guide to Renewable Energy Group

C.J. Warner: Now, before I turn the call over to Chad, I want to highlight some of our contributions on the environmental and social fronts. We are very proud of the carbon reduction we achieved in the first quarter. On Slide 9, you can see that the 117 million gallons of low-carbon renewable fuel we produced displaced 900,000 metric tons of CO2. This tremendous environmental benefit is another part of our Fuel Forward initiative that you’ll be hearing more about in the months to come.

In addition, we continue to improve our safety track record, and we had zero reportable incidents in the first quarter despite the extreme weather conditions. Our 12-month rolling average injury rate is now at a company record low level and is well on the way to industry leadership.

I will now turn the call over to Chad for the financial update, and then I will return to discuss our guidance and outlook. Chad?
