I would like to remind everyone that we do not intend to discuss the operations or outlook for any particular coal lessee or detailed market fundamentals. In addition, I refer you to Ciner Resources public disclosures and commentaries for specific questions regarding our soda ash business segment. Now, I would like to turn the call over to Craig Nunez, our President and Chief Operating Officer. Thank you, Tiffany. Good morning, all. I am pleased to report that our business is delivering impressive performance supported by strong demand for metallurgical coal, thermal coal, and soda ash. Having right-sized our business and cost structure in the years preceding COVID-19, the partnership showed great resiliency during the depths of the pandemic and is now ideally positioned to capitalize on the positive near and intermediate-term outlook for each of our business lines. We expect to generate robust free cash flow in the months ahead and plan to continue using that cash to pay down debt, solidify our liquidity, and maintain our common unit distribution. We continue to believe that de-levering and de-risking the partnership in this manner is the most effective way to maximize unit holder value. Over the last 12 months, we generated $81 million of free cash flow and paid off $39 million of debt. We expect our free cash flow to grow significantly in the coming months. Our cash flow cushion, which is the free cash flow remaining after paying our private placement debt amortizations and distributions on our common and preferred units, came in at $3.7 million over the last 12 months after two quarters in negative territory. The partnership continues to maintain robust liquidity and ended the quarter with $119 million of cash and $100 million of unused borrowing capacity. Demand and prices for metallurgical coal continued their dramatic rise as strong demand for steel is more than offsetting lingering pandemic-related challenges. The ongoing China-Australia political and trade dispute continues to be a positive for U.S. met producers as Chinese manufacturers procure met coal from other regions, allowing North American coal to make its way to destinations previously served by Australian producers. While we have no way to predict the timing or eventual outcome of this matter, we have yet to see signs of resolution on the horizon. International benchmark prices for met coal have risen significantly since the beginning of the year in response to increased steel production driven by the recovering global economy. The benefits of higher met prices are just now beginning to flow through our cash flow, and we expect this trend to continue in coming months. We believe many of our met lessees are currently engaged in annual contract negotiations for 2022 and expect those contracts to renew at higher levels, which should provide upside to our met cash flows in the year ahead. Thermal coal demand and benchmark prices have also increased significantly over the course of the year. Higher electricity demand, driven by a rebounding U.S. economy and a strong burn last winter, are the primary drivers behind the price run-up. The positive impact for us has been modest so far since most of our thermal cash flows this year are fixed pursuant to our contract with Foresight Energy that went into effect as they emerged from bankruptcy in 2020. That fixed payment agreement terminates at the end of this year, and we will begin to receive traditional royalty payments starting January 2022. We expect to benefit next year to the extent demand and prices for thermal coal remain strong. As for our investment in Ciner Wyoming, we believe global soda ash demand has reached pre-pandemic levels driven by growth in soda ash used for residential construction, solar power, energy storage, and general industrial activity, which is more than offsetting demand destruction caused by supply chain disruptions in the auto industry. Our soda ash segment posted strong results in the third quarter, with net income up over 150% from the previous quarter. While ocean freight costs have increased significantly and have been a drag on results, Ciner has been successful in passing these costs through to its customers. As we've noted before, Ciner Wyoming is one of the lowest cost soda ash producers in the world and is managed by the world's most capable operator of soda ash. We believe these factors will continue to generate attractive margins for the long term. As a result of strong recent performance and the positive outlook for the months ahead, Ciner Wyoming will resume payments of regular quarterly distributions to us this month. As we've mentioned repeatedly over the last year, we continue working to identify alternative revenue sources across our large portfolio of minerals, timber, and land. The types of opportunities we are exploring include the sequestration of carbon dioxide underground and in standing forests, and the generation of electricity using geothermal, solar, and wind energy. I'm pleased to announce that we completed the transaction in October, for which we will receive $13.8 million in exchange for sequestering 1,000,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide in our forests. This transaction will be reflected in our fourth quarter results, and I expect this to be the first of what will potentially be numerous alternative revenue transactions in the coming years that will provide important benefits to the environment and add significant value to NRP. While the timing and likelihood of cash flows being realized from any of these activities is highly uncertain, we believe our large ownership footprint throughout the United States will provide opportunities to create value in this regard with minimal capital investment by NRP. We continue to believe we have the right strategy in place to create unitholder value. Since 2015, when we began to de-lever and de-risk the partnership, NRP has paid down over $925 million of debt, paid over $130 million of common unitholder distributions, established robust liquidity, and dramatically improved our capital structure. We remain steadfast in our commitment to focus on maximizing unitholder value by continuing these efforts. With that, I'll turn the call over to Chris to cover our financial results. Thank you, Craig, and good morning, everyone. During the third quarter, we generated $30 million of operating cash flow and $29 million of net income. Our Coal Royalty and Other segment generated $34 million of operating cash flow and $37 million of net income during the third quarter of 2021. Our third quarter free cash flow improved $6 million and our third quarter net income improved $17 million quarter-over-quarter, primarily driven by stronger demand in pricing for metallurgical coal in the third quarter of 2021. Metallurgical coal made up approximately 45% of our total coal royalty sales volumes and approximately 65% of our coal royalty revenue during the third quarter of 2021. Moving on to our Soda Ash business segment. Net income in the third quarter of 2021 improved $5 million as compared to the previous year quarter, primarily due to increased demand for soda ash from the lows caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Free cash flow in the third quarter of 2021 was flat as compared to the prior year quarter due to Ciner Wyoming's decision to suspend their quarterly distribution in August 2020. However, as Craig just mentioned, Ciner Wyoming has reinstated their quarterly cash distributions as market demand continues to improve from the lows seen during the COVID-19 pandemic. We expect to receive a $7 million cash distribution in the fourth quarter of 2021. Our Corporate and Financing segment costs and cash used in operations were slightly lower in the third quarter of 2021 compared to our prior year quarter, primarily due to less debt, less debt outstanding in 2021. Our leverage ratio as of September 30, 2021 was 3.8 x, a substantial reduction from the 4.6 ratio we had at the end of the previous quarter. Regarding distributions, in August, we paid a quarterly $0.45 per common unit distribution and a quarterly distribution of $7.8 million to our preferred unitholders, one half of which was in cash and one half in kind, as required by our bond indenture. Today, we announced a quarterly distribution of $0.45 per common unit and a quarterly distribution of $8 million to our preferred unitholders to be paid one half in cash and one half in kind. These preferred unit distributions include interest on previously paid-in-kind units, which will also be paid one half in cash and one half in kind. As we've mentioned in previous quarters, the indenture governing our bonds restricts us from paying more than one half of the quarterly distribution on the preferred units in cash if our consolidated leverage ratio exceeds 3.75 x. As of September 30, 2021, our leverage ratio was 3.8 x. If our consolidated leverage ratio were to remain above 3.75x into 2022, we remain unable to redeem our outstanding paid-in-kind preferred units, we would then be required to temporarily suspend distributions on our common units until our leverage ratio drops below the 3.75x threshold and the outstanding paid-in-kind preferred units are redeemed. However, as a result of the strong coal and soda ash pricing expected in the fourth quarter and the forest carbon offset transaction Craig noted earlier, we expect our leverage ratio to fall below the 3.75x threshold by December 31 of this year. If this occurs, we plan to redeem the outstanding paid-in-kind preferred units and continue to pay cash distributions to our common unitholders. Additionally, we expect our leverage ratio to continue its long-term decline as we pay down debt. With that, I'll turn the call back over to the operator for questions. At this time, I would like to remind everyone, in order to ask a question, press star then the number one on your telephone keypad. We'll pause for just a moment to compile the Q&A roster. Again, if you would like to ask a question, please press star then the number one on your telephone keypad. We do have a question. Comes from the line of Steve Berman. Your line is open. Yes, good morning. My question is, I guess general, what's the status in China? I had heard something. First of all, how important is what's going on with China's usage of coal, and your outlook? I also had heard that they were putting a price freeze on what they would pay for coal. This would be, I think this would be met coal. I mean, thermal coal. Kevin, you wanna take it? Sure. This is Kevin Craig. Thank you for your question. Obviously, China as a market for coal is important not only to NRP but to the world coal market. We have watched Chinese and Australian issues they've had over the past year. It certainly has had an impact on U.S. coal producers. To date, we believe it's been a positive impact. We remain in tune with what is going on in China. We've certainly seen the improvement in the coal market over the past year given or in spite of some of the political issues that have occurred. Again, if you would like to ask a question, it is star one on your telephone keypad. There are no further questions at this time. I will turn the call back over to Mr. Craig Nunez for some closing remarks. Thank you very much, and thank all of you for participating in our call today. Thank you for your support of NRP. Please call our investor relations line if you have any follow-up questions you wanna discuss matters further, and we look forward to speaking with you next quarter. Have a great day. This concludes today's conference call. Thank you for your participation. You may now disconnect.
