All right. Good morning, everybody. I'll just keep this on time. Thank you for being here. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Manav Patnaik.

And you saw that, for example, with the record numbers that turned out at CERAWeek this year to be able to participate in dialogue around the future of the energy markets and the commodity markets at large, all the way to the importance of our unique and proprietary content in the conversations that we're having with our customers around how they get the best use out
