Sean Boyd --
Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Thank you, operator and good morning everyone and welcome to our fourth quarter and 2020 full-year results conference call. Before we get started with the slides, just want to remind everybody that this presentation does include forward-looking statements and we have that material in the slide deck.
Just to start off, in terms of how we closed the year and how we're positioned for moving forward over the next several years, we had a record quarter in terms of production which drove record cash flow. But more importantly, we posted our best ever safety performance. So although we're pushing more volumes than ever and we have more employees than ever, we're operating more safely than we've ever done in our history. So a big thank you to our employees. It's a testament to their focus and the fact that they show up to work every day, looking to make a contribution and caring about their work environment and the people they work closely with.
