Thank you. Good morning and welcome to the Sturm, Ruger & Company year-end 2023 conference call. I'd like to 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 fourth quarter and 2023 financial results, and then I'll discuss our operations in the state of the market. After that, we'll get to your questions. Kevin?

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 as 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 31st, 2023 and of course, the forms 10-Q for the first, second and third orders of 2023. Copies of these 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 in our form 10-K for the year ended December 31st, 2023 and our forms 10-Q for the first three quarters of 2023, which also are posted on our website. Furthermore, the company just makes all responsibility to update forward-looking statements. Chris?
