That now concludes the formal business of the meeting. I declare the meeting terminated. Now that the formal business of the meeting has concluded, I will ask Rob Colcleugh to provide a corporate update on Tidewater. A question period will occur after the presentation. Good afternoon. This will just be a brief update, and then we can take some questions at the end. As you, most of you, I think, know, our business is generally divided into three general areas: midstream and downstream, and then our renewables business. We'll speak about that at the end a little bit, but the renewables business is a separate, publicly traded company. We actually had our AGM yesterday. It's Tidewater Renewables. We, as Tidewater Midstream, own 69% of that company, and that's why you see a lot of our consolidated versus deconsolidated terminology in our financial statements. This is where we stand right now. As you can see, the EBITDA has been growing fairly materially for a number of years, pretty much since the company IPOd. Debt has also been increasing as we've been going, what we're really very focused on right now is, I've made a few public comments about, is being very focused on our cash flow. EBITDA as a measure of cash flow is great, but actually having that cash flow is what we're gonna be focusing on, and that's had us really looking at how we spend our maintenance and growth capital. Yeah, I don't think that there's anything else, as you know, from a 2022 perspective, CAD 250 million is a significant amount of EBITDA. We did achieve that last year. We had very good results, especially in the Downstream group. Crack spreads were very much in our favor. All areas of the business have performed decently in 2022. These are a few of the things that we're focusing on. I know it says 2022 highlights. They're really some of the things we're focusing on in 2023. Deleveraging. I've made several comments talking about a process that is currently underway to potentially monetize one or more assets. As I say, we will make those results public once they are in hand or close to being in hand. That will drive some of that delevering. Our renewables business has a pretty exciting project in the mix right now. It's our HDRD, which is a renewable diesel plant. That's going to be the very first renewable diesel facility in Canada. We're quite excited about that. It was a source of a little bit of consternation earlier, just as a result of some cost overruns that we experienced. Again, inflationary environment that we're in. We've solved that, fortunately, with the help of our capital providers, both debt and we've got very good support from the government, and got that gap quite quickly closed. We are looking at an end of June construction period. We're very closely coming up on what will be a very big driver for both companies in the near future. On the growth side, again, that is the largest growth project is our HDRD in both companies, because we own 69% of it. It does drive a significant amount of our results in Midstream as well. Again, the capital discipline, we are going to be extremely focused on what dollars go out. Really, I think you'll see a generally a reduction in our growth capital going forward. Just to touch on a couple of our three silos, if you will. Our midstream assets are, you know, the largest number of our facilities are clearly in the midstream side. We've got a variety of assets from some smaller ones. In fact, a number of ones that are even, not even on the map, to larger, growthy assets. In particular, I guess I'd point to... I think I used to know there was a pointer on this, but anyway. The Pipestone gas plant, which is one where we're considering a doubling of our processing capacity from 100 million to 200 million, and that's something that we're working on right now. Again, we'll be making those kinds of announcements whether we're proceeding and at what pace in the very near future. On the downstream side, it's principally the Prince George Refinery. I think this is our 3rd year owning that, Jarv? Third? Yeah. As I say, it's been performing very well from a volume perspective, especially considering this is, you know, potentially, well, not potentially, it's a 55-year-old asset. It's been performing at or above capacity shortly after we took it over. We are shortly going to be announcing the results of our turnaround. I can say that things are generally on budget and on time, and the team did an exceptional job to get this, which is our first major turnaround, done, complete on time, with a tremendous number of people on staff. Remember, we're also building the renewable diesel plant at the same facility at the same time. We got that done with no lost time incidences, which is a phenomenal result, very safe build, and I think we can all be very proud of that fact, and proud of the fact that we're on time and on budget in our first turnaround. That is a big relief on the Prince George side, and in a month's time, we expect to be announcing that we're finished construction on the HDRD. Lots going on at Prince George. We are looking at a number of, I wouldn't call them growth, as much as, ways to save costs. One of which, as you can see, most of our crude comes from Taylor into Prince George. We're investigating some alternatives to some pipelining that we've been sending most of our product down, which has tended to be quite expensive. We're looking at some rail and truck opportunities to feed our Prince George Refinery. Anyway, those are some of the, I guess you'd call them growth initiatives, that we're looking at, which I'd more consider optimization. This is our current. We'll talk about it in a second, but this is a few of the shots of the construction project that's going on up at Prince George, most of which is the renewable diesel. I don't know if we've got any of these are turnaround, but these are all, I think, renewable diesel ones. They will be driving our cash flow growth coming forward, well, in the second half of this year. Again, we're expecting. I'll move right to it. We're expecting run rate coming out of the HDRD of around CAD 100 million of EBITDA, and that's really cash flow. That's a significant amount for renewables. Obviously, renewables currently has about CAD 50 million of EBITDA, and these results again, are consolidated into the Tidewater Midstream results. That's why you'll see, both debt obviously, as well as our cash flow, once they get consolidated. If you look at renewables as a standalone business, it trades on the TSX as well, you know, it's a, these renewables companies have tend to trade in the 10 times multiple range. This is not guidance or anything. This is just where things are tending to trade in the renewable space. We're gonna have about CAD 150 million of EBITDA there. That should be a considerable bump over the, what? CAD 650 million EV enterprise value that it currently trades at. We're looking for to demonstrate that the facility works, to demonstrate that the economics are as we model them, and we are hoping to see that gets revalued. Again, only 69% of it should have a dramatic impact on Tidewater Midstream stock price. That is the big project that is now underway, and we will have results, as I say, in a month on the construction and commercial operations will be shortly after that. ESG is a big part of what we do, and there aren't a lot of companies that have their own specific renewables company. That's the way we've done it. TransAlta did the same thing. Companies our size, it sort of gives you an idea of where we, how we value our ESG commitments, and not just in our ownership of our renewables company, but also in the way we conduct our own business. That goes from safety right through to our environmental initiatives and the way we're trying to reduce CO2 emissions coming out of all of our facilities. That's largely all I wanted to get through today. I'm happy to take some questions, and Tom is as well. Are there any questions either in the room or on the line? Ladies and gentlemen, for people over the phone, if you'd like to ask a question, you may do so by pressing star one on your telephone keypad. There are no questions over the phone at this time. Okay. Any questions in the room? Excellent. We can wrap it up, Mr. Chairman. Okay. Please. All right. I will thank you everyone for attending, I will now terminate the meeting. Thank you very much. Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes your conference call for today. We thank you for joining and ask that you may disconnect your lines. Thank you.
