Beth Cooper, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, you may begin your conference.

Thank you, Nicole, and good morning, everyone. We appreciate you joining us today to review our fourth quarter and 2015 annual results. Joining me on the call today is Mike McMasters, President and CEO. In addition to Mike, we also have several members of our management team here with us to answer questions. The presentation to accompany our discussion can be accessed on our website under the Investor section and Events and Webcasts subsection or via our IR app. Moving to Slide 2, before we begin, let me remind you that matters discussed in this conference call may include forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements and projections could differ materially from our actual results. The safe harbor for forward-looking statements section of the company's 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K will provide further information on the factors that could cause of such statements to differ from our actual results. I would like to begin today's presentation by highlighting the company's record performance. As shown on Slide 3, the year 2015 culminated in the ninth consecutive year of record earnings generated by the company, both in terms of net income and earnings per share. In addition, as the slide highlights, Chesapeake has generated very strong returns on equity ranging from 11% to 12.2% over this nine-year period. These results have been driven by our successful capital investments in organic growth opportunities and acquisitions like FPU, Sandpiper Energy, and Aspire Energy of Ohio. The returns that we have generated on these investments have resulted in a compound annual growth rate of 9.8% in earnings-per-share over the nine-year period. Moving to Slide 4, yesterday, we reported results for both the year and the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2015. Net income for the year was $41.1 million, or $2.72…

Thanks, Beth. Good morning everyone. Slide 15 illustrates how we approach achieving sustainable growth. Chesapeake Utilities' success story starts with engaged, dedicated, and capable employees who are committed to expanding our infrastructure, to meet the energy needs of our customers and communities. Our employees continually seek opportunities to further engagement with the local communities. They construct and operate safe, reliable energy delivery systems whether they are pipelines, wires or trucks. Our employees do a remarkable job of identifying, developing, and transforming opportunities into profitable earnings growth. Finally, we employ a disciplined capital allocation process to produce superior returns to shareholders. Turning to Slide 16, our success in delivering returns is due to the hard work of our employees, our strategic planning process, and discipline in executing our strategic plan. Strategic planning is a continuous process for our company. We update our strategic plan every year and we ask our business unit leaders and our strategic business develop team, to take a new look at market conditions and the new opportunities are evolving in the market. Then we challenge our teams to identify ways to grow at rates faster than they could if they simply continue doing what they are doing today. This keeps our thinking fresh and our focus on generating sustainable long-term growth. Turning to Slide 17, the performance quadrant is one of the ways that we monitor the results of our strategic plan and its execution. We believe that one of the keys to our success is our ability to deploy significant amounts of capital with attractive returns on investment. Chesapeake continues to rank in the upper quartile of gas distribution, electric, and combination utility companies in terms of capital invested and return on capital over the past three years. Our ability to achieve higher than industry average…

Well I just want to thank everyone for joining us on our call today and for your interest in Chesapeake Utilities. We're proud of what our team has accomplished for shareholders in the past and remain committed to working hard to deliver superior shareholder returns in the future. Thank you.
