Good day and thank you for standing by. Welcome to the Sturm, Ruger Earnings Conference Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode.

I would now like to hand the conference over to your first speaker today, Chris Killoy, President and CEO. Please go ahead.

Christopher Killoy

Good morning, and welcome to Sturm, Ruger & Company's second quarter 2024 conference call. I'll ask Patricia Shepard, our Deputy General Counsel to read the caution on forward-looking statements. Tom Dineen, our Chief Financial Officer, will then give an overview of the second quarter 2024 financial results and then I will discuss our operations and the market.

After that, we'll get to your questions. Pat?

Patricia Shepard

Thanks, Chris.

I just 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 31st, 2023, and of course, on the Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2024, which we filed last night. Copies of these documents may be obtained by contacting the company or the SEC or on the company's 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 31st, 2023 and our Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2024, both of which are also posted to our website. Furthermore, the company disclaims all responsibility to update forward-looking statements. Tom?

Christopher Killoy

Thank you, Pat. Now, Tom will discuss the company's second quarter 2024 results.
