Thank you, Operator. Good morning, everyone and welcome to Helen of Troy Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2022, Earnings Conference Call. The agenda for the call this morning is as follows. I will begin with a brief discussion of forward-looking statements. Mr. Julien Mininberg, the company's CEO, will comment on the business performance and key accomplishments, and then provide some perspective as we begin the new fiscal year. Then Mr. Matt Osberg, the company's CFO, will review the financials in more detail and comment about current trends, and expectations for the upcoming fiscal year. Following this, we will take questions you have for us today. This conference call may contain certain forward-looking statements that are based on management's current expectation, with respect to future events or financial performance. Generally, the world anticipates, believes, expects, and other words similar are words identifying forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause anticipated results, to differ materially from the actual results. This conference call may also include information that may be considered non-GAAP financial information. These non-GAAP measures are not an alternative to GAAP financial information and may be calculated differently than the non-GAAP financial information disclosed by other parties. The company cautions listeners not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements or non-GAAP information. Before I turn the call over to Mr. Mininberg, I would like to inform all interested parties that a copy of today's earnings release has been posted to the Investor Relations section of the company's website at www. helenoftroy.com. That earnings release contains tables that reconcile non-GAAP financial measures to their corresponding GAAP-based measures. The release can be obtained by selecting the "investor relations " tab on the company's homepage, and then the "press releases " tab. I will now turn the conference call over to Mr. Mininberg.

Thank you, Jack. Good morning, everyone and thank you for joining us today. We're excited to discuss our recent acquisition of Carl Smith and our fourth-quarter and full-year fiscal '22 results. On today's call, we will also introduce our outlook for fiscal '23 and provide an overview of the investments we're making to continue to drive our transformation in the back half of Phase 2 and beyond. As we have now completed our third year of Phase 2, we will also update you on the outstanding progress we have made on the goals we laid out during our May 2019 Investor Day. Spoiler alert. We're ahead nearly across-the-board. Let me start by providing a bit more color on the Carl Smith acquisition. We see it as an exciting and excellent strategic fit for our prestige beauty portfolio that also delivers immediate value creation and strong growth potential. Our M&A strategy calls for adding leadership brands and up and comers where we can add value and leverage our scalable operating platform.
