Christopher Killoy

Good morning, and welcome to the Sturm Ruger & Company First Quarter 2022 Conference Call. I would like to ask Kevin Reid, our General Counsel to read the caution on forward-looking statements. Then Tom Dineen, our Chief Financial Officer will give an overview of the first quarter 2022 financial results and then I will discuss our operations and the state of the market. After that, we'll get to your questions. Kevin?

Kevin Reid

Thanks, Chris. We want to remind everyone that statements made in the course of this meeting that state 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, 2021, and of course the Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2022 which we filed just last night. Copies of these documents may be obtained by contacting the company or the SEC or on the company website at ruger.com/corporate or 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 in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and our Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2022 both of which are posted to our website. Furthermore, the company disclaims all responsibility to update forward-looking statements. Chris?
