George Wilson

Thanks, Scott, and good morning to everyone joining the call. I'll begin today's call with a brief strategic overview, followed by some commentary on the quarter and the broader macro-environment. After that, I'll hand it back over to Scott, who will provide a more detailed financial discussion.

As we close fiscal 2024 and reflect on the past year, I am incredibly proud of the progress we've made in executing our strategic plan. At the core of this plan has been the creation of a solid operational foundation that drives strong cash flow and will provide support for our organic and inorganic growth plans. Building this foundation takes time and significant effort and doesn't happen without the right culture.

Looking back over the uncertain and challenging macroeconomic environment of the past few years, it is clear that our operational performance has remained consistent and resilient, positioning us well for the next phase of growth. With this strong foundation in place, our profitable growth strategy has been focused on expanding and existing market channels, enhancing our manufacturing capabilities, and opening new addressable markets.
