Sam Choi
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Thank you, Roger, and hello to everyone. Our fiscal 2021 fourth quarter results demonstrated excellent progress in our recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. As we noted in our third quarter earnings call, we expected to see at least a 38% increase in fourth quarter revenue based on orders connected in the period. As you can see in today's press release, We exceeded this rate of growth, with actual fourth quarter revenues increasing nearly 65% year over year. Our mix of products improved substantially as well, leading to gross margin in the high teens in the fourth quarter. As a result of our strong fourth quarter performance, we achieved a full recovery from last year's second half, with full-year revenue of $19 million exceeding our $85 million target for the year. Moreover, our robust momentum is continuing thus far into fiscal 2022, with orders for the first nine months of the year leading to a revenue run range in that period that would exceed our prior record. This will keep us on track to achieve guidance of $100 million and $102 million in revenue in fiscal 2022 We continue to advance plans to increase capacity in our existing facilities and secure additional capacity to meet our customers' needs, both by building new facilities and possibly through leases and acquisitions. We will keep you apprised of that progress. As previously announced, We also anticipate starting construction later this year of an additional facility on a parcel that we purchased in 2019. I'm now turning the call over to Eric Tan, who is based in Jordan, and then to Gilbert Lee, who is based in New York. We'll cover our financial results. Eric.
