With the formal business of the meeting concluded, I declare that this meeting is now terminated. Now, I would like to make a short presentation reviewing our 2021 fiscal year and certain business initiatives going forward. We're pleased with the record year Mercer achieved operationally in 2021. Making this achievement even more impressive is that we were able to do so while navigating the pandemic, supply chain issues, and refining our sustainability targets. As a result, we would like to thank our employees for continuing to uphold our safety protocols, which have kept our people safe and operations running without interruption. Like many businesses, the pandemic indirectly affected Mercer in 2021. The global supply chain disruptions created by the pandemic and exacerbated by extreme weather made moving our products challenging, especially late in the year. However, our logistical strategies and related investments proved to be resilient and improved our competitiveness in certain areas. Throughout the pandemic and its uncertainty, we have taken a conservative approach to our financial position to ensure we had enough dry powder if the pandemic were to create an unforeseen negative impact. This approach has served us well as we begin 2021 in a strong financial position and leaves us with enormous financial flexibility for future growth as we continue to focus on our four-pillar strategy, which are: operate world-class assets, grow and diversify where we have core competencies, manage the integrity of our balance sheet and liquidity, and lastly, sustainable operations. Overall, in 2021, the markets for our products were generally strong, and our record financial results reflect this. Pulp markets peaked in the middle of the year but remained strong with some regional weakness late in the year. Lumber prices in most markets hit record highs during the year, then fell sharply in the summer before strengthening again late in the year. Operationally, 2021 was a record year for Mercer. We achieved record revenues from our pulp, lumber, and green energy businesses that drove both record EBITDA and record net income. In 2021, our total revenues were a record $1.8 billion, up $0.4 billion from 2020. Operating EBITDA totaled a record $479 million, up $286 million from 2020. Our record net income in 2021 was $171 million or $2.59 per basic share, compared to a net loss of $17 million or $0.26 per share in 2020. In 2021, industry-coded average list prices for NBSK pulp increased by approximately 46% in Europe and 30% in North America compared to 2020. In 2021, average net prices for NBSK pulp in China increased by approximately 45% compared to 2020. The increases reflected steady demand and low customer inventory levels, principally from the pandemic and other factors creating logistics issues, which reduced shipments to China and Europe, and storms and winter conditions in Western Canada, which reduced supply. Average lumber realizations increased by approximately 74% to $699 per 1,000 board feet in 2021 from $402 per 1,000 board feet in 2020, primarily due to the higher pricing in the U.S. and European markets. U.S. lumber pricing increased due to strong housing and home renovation demand. European lumber pricing increased due to steady demand and reduced supply as producers shifted products to the U.S. market. We recognize the importance of integrating sustainability into our value system and business strategy to improve our competitiveness and social responsibility. We believe we have a unique platform in terms of raw materials and mills to maximize climate benefits from our forest and forest products as replacements for fossil-based products. Recently, the Science Based Targets initiative, a leading evaluator of sustainability performance, validated our greenhouse gas reduction targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 35% by 2030. This target is consistent with the levels required to meet the Paris Agreement goals. The approval formally recognizes Mercer as a leading company and the first in Canada and one of the first North American companies in the forest and paper product sector with approved targets. We have published our 2030 aspirational sustainability objectives and targets on our website and in our upcoming sustainability report, which I encourage you to review. Examples of projects we have targeted to help us reach our sustainability targets include our two wood-room projects, one at our Peace River Mill and the other at our Celgar Mill. These projects are designed, among other things, to reduce our carbon emissions associated with fiber collection at these facilities and will lower our fiber costs. The environmental benefits are so compelling that local governments have provided financial incentives to support these projects, and it will be completed in 2022. As we advance global climate change mitigation efforts, aboard on paradigm shifts in various sectors, which are benefiting our markets. We've already seen this effect with energy markets in Europe, which has significantly increased their green electricity revenue in recent periods. We believe this trend is likely to occur in our pulp, wood products, and other bioproduct markets, including green energy. The climate-related focus on embodied carbon is also materially influencing the building product space. Today, steel and cement are still dominant, and the construction industry accounts for about 11% of global greenhouse gas emissions. We believe that displacement of just 1% of the global structural steel market with wood-based solutions represents a $10 billion market opportunity, which would be a tenfold increase over the 2020 mass timber market. We believe that with our 2021 acquisition of Mercer Mass Timber, we're well positioned to take advantage of a switch away from traditional construction materials, as mass timber is a more environmentally friendly construction material than traditional materials like cement and steel. Our new mill is capable of producing roughly 30% of the North American mass timber capacity. In March 2022, the United Nations Environment Assembly of 175 nations endorsed a historic resolution to end plastic pollution and establish a binding global agreement by 2024. Today, plastic production has reached 348 million tons, which includes growing products like synthetic textile fibers and single-use packaging. By 2050, plastic is expected to account for 15% of global carbon emissions. We believe renewable fibers such as pulp are a logical sustainable replacement. A 5% displacement could create about 17 million tons of new pulp demand, which is equivalent to the total supply of MVSK market pulp today. Capturing even a small portion of the sector's annual growth could see tremendous shifts in demand for our products. Lignin and other extractives are about 40% of the wood we consume, and today, this material is used to make bioenergy. As industries move to alternatives to petrochemicals, we believe these materials will become essential carbon-neutral chemical building blocks. We also continue to utilize the German government's wastewater fee incentives. These investment projects will not only lower emissions, but our mills will be more cost-effective and benefit from reduced wastewater fee expenses. These investments are a win for both the environment and our shareholders. I have no doubt that the increasing use of renewable products will be part of the climate answer. However, the shifts we're seeing to date in paper-based sustainable packaging and products are just the beginning. We believe the potential of these markets for our products is massive. As a shareholder, I'm excited by the future prospects of significant growth as the world shifts to more sustainable solutions. At this time, I would like to thank all of our shareholders for their continued support and my fellow board of directors for their strategic and thoughtful oversight, our very capable management team, and all our employees for their initiative and dedication. I would also like to take a moment to thank David Gandossi for the leadership he has brought to Mercer as he transitions to retirement after over seven years as CEO and over 18 years of providing executive leadership for the company. It has been a pleasure working with David, and I wish him continued good health and success. Now, I'm proud to introduce our new president and CEO, Juan Carlos Bueno. Juan Carlos joins Mercer's leadership team as a seasoned global leader in forestry and our industry space. Together with Juan Carlos, our employees, customers, and shareholders, we look forward to further developing Mercer for future profitability, growth, and innovation. And now, Juan Carlos will say a few words. Juan Carlos. Thank you for the introduction, Jimmy. I am very pleased to join Mercer in the capacity of CEO and, more importantly, to have the opportunity to work with such a great team. Together, we will continue to grow our company by further developing our different business platforms while exploring new opportunities. Thank you, Jimmy. Thank you. That concludes our prepared remarks. We would be happy at this time to take any questions from shareholders. As a reminder, you can register your questions by clicking the messages icon in the upper right corner of the virtual meeting center screen. We will pause for a moment to queue any questions. Mr. Chairman, there are no questions at this time. Okay. It appears that there are no questions. That being the case, we will conclude the web conference. On behalf of the board, I would like to thank you all for joining us today and for your continued support of Mercer. We look forward to speaking to you again as our year progresses. Thank you. This concludes the meeting. You may now disconnect.
