Thank you, Matt. Good morning, and thank you all for joining us today. In April, Academy announced our Board of Directors thoughtful leadership succession plan, including my transition from President and CEO to Executive Chairman of our Board of Directors. This officially took effect on June 1, 2023. I believe now is the right time for this transition, given the strong foundation we built over the last several years, and the clear growth strategy we have set forth for the future and the strong, proven leadership team that is in place at Academy.
