Thanks, Beth. Good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining us. I'll begin by addressing our fiscal 2024 performance, and then I'll share a plan to address future challenges. Dave will cover some key financials, and then we'll take your questions. I won't rehash the numbers in our fourth quarter and year-end earnings announcement. Obviously, it was a tough year. Continued challenging marketplace conditions and competitive pressure significantly impacted our fiscal 2024 performance. Consumer demand for outdoor recreation products across all of our businesses remained soft. While we're not seeing indicators that these challenging conditions are going away anytime soon, we've been aggressively leaning into our critical strategic priorities, innovation, our go-to-market strategy, and operational efficiencies to enable future growth for our brands and businesses. In this highly competitive outdoor recreation marketplace, our focus on strong innovation cannot be more critical. As a result, we are taking our innovation approach to the next level and investing in the critical elements, including key talents and technologies, as well as strengthening our consumer-centric innovation approach. Our focus remains on delivering the best outdoor experiences possible across all of our categories. The ever-evolving digital landscape requires us to do things differently to engage and stay in front of our consumers. Our online presence provides key consumer touch points for our brand from product research to purchase to post-purchase support. We've been making investments in structuring the way we go to market to enhance our capabilities and drive growth, and we're confident this will be a meaningful contributor to accelerating our sales and profitability. Lastly, as I mentioned in previous quarters, improving profitability and strengthening our business operations continue to be important focus areas. We've worked hard to drive operational cost savings and redeploy resources against our strategic priorities. The cost savings efforts were masked by our results, and we recognize there is more work to do. Fiscal 2024 is tough, but we've been through tough times before. We're committed to investing in the strategic priorities that will position our brands for long-term growth, while also working hard to improve our financial performance. We know we have a lot of work to do, but we're confident that we'll see benefits from these investments in the future. Now, I will turn the call over to Dave for more details on financials.
