Ascent Industries Co.

everyone and thank you for participating in today's conference call to discuss Ascent's financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31st, 2023. Joining us today are Ascent's Executive Chairman of the Board, Ben Rosenzweig, CEO Brian Kitchen, CFO Ryan Kabalaskis, and the company's Outside Investor Relations Advisor, Cody Cree. Following their remarks, we'll open the call for your questions. Before we go further, I would like to turn the call over to Cody Cree as he reads the company's safe harbor statement within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that provides important cautions regarding forward-looking statements. Cody, please go ahead.

Thanks, Lateef. Before we continue, I'd like to remind all participants that the discussion today may contain certain looking statements pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the federal securities laws. These statements are based on information currently available to us and are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. ASCENT advises all of those listening to this call to review the latest 10Q and 10K posted on its website for a summary of these risks and uncertainties. ASCENT does not undertake the responsibility to update any forward looking statements. Further, the discussion today may include non-GAAP measures. In accordance with Regulation G, the company has reconciled these amounts back to the closest gap-based measurement. The reconciliations can be found in the earnings press release issued earlier today and posted on the investor section of the company's website at ascentco.com. Please note that this call is available for replay via webcast link that is also posted on the investor section of the company's website. With that, I'd like to turn the call over to Ascent's Executive Chairman of the Board, Ben Rosenzweig. Ben?

Thank you, Cody, and good afternoon, everyone.
