Good day, and welcome to the CRH conference call. My name is Krista, and I will be your operator today. [Operator Instructions]

At this time, I'd like to turn the conference over to Jim Mintern, CRH Chief Executive Officer, to begin the conference. Please go ahead, sir.

Jim Mintern
CEO & Director

Hello, everyone. Jim Mintern here, CEO of CRH, and you're all very welcome to our presentation and conference call following our announced agreement to acquire Arcosa this morning, a significant investment for CRH and an acceleration of our growth strategy.

Joining me on the call is Aylwyn Bryan, our CFO; Randy Lake, our COO; and Danilo Juvane, Head of Investor Relations.

Over the next 15 minutes or so, we will provide you with an overview of the proposed transaction. And afterwards, we will be available to take any questions that you may have.

Before we get started, I'll hand over to Danilo for some brief opening remarks.
