Optical Cable Corporation

Good morning, everyone. My name is Jim, and I'll be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome you to Optical Cable Corporation's third quarter and fiscal year 2024 earnings conference call. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After the speaker's remarks, there will be a question and answer period. If you would like to ask a question at that time, please press star and one on your telephone keypad. If you wish to remove yourself from the queue, simply press star and two. Mr. Hoffman, you may begin your conference, sir.

Thank you and good morning and thank you for joining us for Optical Cable Corporation's third quarter of fiscal year 2024 conference call. By this time, everyone should have a copy of the earnings press release issued earlier today. You can also visit www.occfiber.com for a copy. On the call with us today are Neil Wilkin, President and Chief Executive Officer of OCC, and Tracy Smith, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Before we begin, I'd like to remind everyone that this call may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The actual future results of Optical Cable Corporation may differ materially due to a number of factors and risks, including, but not limited to, those factors referenced in the forward-looking statements section of this morning's press release. These cautionary statements apply to the contents of the internet webcast on www.occfiber.com, as well as today's call. With that, I'll turn the call over to Neil Wilkin. Neil, please begin.

Thank you, Spencer, and good morning, everyone. Before we begin our conference call today, I'd like to pause for a moment of silence to honor those who perished in the terrorist attack on our country 23 years ago today in New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, and to honor those men and women who have served and are serving our country around the world to protect our freedom and liberty.
