Hello, and welcome to Westrock Coffee Company's Third Quarter 2022 earnings conference call. My name is Chris and I'll be coordinating your call today. Following prepared remarks, we will open the call to your questions with instructions to be given at that time.

I'll now like to hand the call over to Clay Crumbliss with ICR.

Clay Crumbliss

Thank you and welcome to Westrock Coffee Company's third quarter 2022 earnings results conference call. Today's call is being recorded. With us today are Mr. Scott Ford, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Chris Pledger, Chief Financial Officer. By now everyone should have access to the company's third quarter earnings release issued earlier today. This information is available on the investor relations section of Westrock Coffee company's website at investors.westrockcoffee.com.

Certain comments made on this call include forward looking statements, which are subject to the Safe Harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward looking statements are based on management's current expectations and beliefs concerning future events and are subject to several risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in these forward looking statements.

Please refer to today's press release and other filings with the SEC for a more detailed discussion of the risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward looking statements made today. Also, discussions during the call will use some non-GAAP financial measures as we describe business performance. The SEC filings as well as the earnings press release, provide reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

And with that, it's my pleasure to turn the call over to Scott Ford, our Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer.

Scott?

Thank you, and good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to our inaugural public company quarterly earnings call. It has been quite the journey from our startup days in 2009 with a $1.5 million in annual revenues to the business you see today, all of which I believe will pale in comparison to what we are about to do over the next five years.
