Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to Krispy Kreme's third quarter 2021 earnings call. Thank you for joining us today. Our third quarter earnings release and accompanying earnings presentation deck are available on our Investor Relations website at investors.krispykreme.com. Joining me on the call this afternoon is Mike Tattersfield, Chief Executive Officer, Josh Charlesworth, Chief Operating and Financial Officer, and Joey Pruitt, Chief Accounting Officer. After prepared remarks by Mike and Josh, there will be a question and answer session. Before we begin, I'd like to remind you that this call contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Security and Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements of expectations, future events, or future financial performance. Forward-looking statements involve a number of inherent risks and uncertainties, and we caution investors that these risks could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. The factors and other risks and uncertainties are described in detail in the company's registration statement on our Form S-1. Forward-looking statements made today speak only as of today. The company assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements except as may be required by law. Additionally, today's call will include certain non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation between non-GAAP financial measures and their closest GAAP measures can be found in the company's third quarter 2021 earnings release in our Form 10-Q, which will be filed shortly with the SEC and available at investors.crispycream.com. For your convenience, today's conference call is being webcast and recorded for replay on our investor relations website. With that, I'll now turn the call over to Mike.
