Thank you, Bill. Hello, everyone, and welcome to the American Vanguard January '24 financial update.
Today, we want to hold a brief call to give you our impressions of Q4 and full year 2023 ahead of our formal 10-K issuance, as well as to revisit our '24 outlook.
We presented Slide 4 in our Q3, '23 earnings call to show our financial expectations. Bottom line, while we have not completed the full audit cycle, we are broadly on track to meet our previously forecasted '23 numbers. Further, we remain positioned to meet our '24 targets. In short, our outlook is unchanged.
