Hello, and welcome to the Q3 2023 Sturm, Ruger Earnings Conference Call. [Operator Instructions]. Please be advised that today's conference is being recorded. It is now my pleasure to introduce President and CEO, Chris Killoy.

Christopher Killoy

Good morning, and welcome to the Sturm, Ruger & Company Third Quarter 2023 Conference Call. I'll ask Kevin Reid, our General Counsel, to read the caution on forward-looking statements. Tom Dineen, our Chief Financial Officer, will then give an overview of the third quarter 2023 financial results, and then I will discuss our operations and the market. After that, we'll get to your questions.

Kevin?

Kevin Reid

Sure, Chris. We want to remind everyone that statements made in the course of this meeting that take the company's or management's intentions, hopes, beliefs, expectations or predictions of the future are forward-looking statements. It is important to note that the company's actual results could differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking statements. Additional information concerning factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements is contained from time to time in the company's SEC filings, including, but not limited to the company's reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

And of course, the Forms 10-Q for the last -- for the first, second and third quarter of 2023, the latter of which we filed last night. Copy of the documents may be obtained by contacting the company or the SEC or on the company website at ruger.com/corporate/ or, of course, the SEC website at sec.gov. We do reference non-GAAP EBITDA. Please note that the reconciliation of GAAP net income to non-GAAP EBITDA can be found on our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and again, on the Forms 10-Q for the first, second and third quarter of 2023, all of which are posted to our website. Furthermore, the company disclaims all responsibility to update forward-looking statements. Chris?

Christopher Killoy

Thank you, Kevin. Now Tom will discuss the company's third quarter 2023 results. Tom?
