Thank you, operator. And welcome to the Strive Foods Fiscal Year 2024 First Quarter Earnings Conference Call. With me today are Strive's Chief Executive Officer, Chris Beaver, and Chief Financial Officer, Alex Hawkins. Before we begin, I would like to remind everyone that part of our discussion today will include Fort Lincoln statements that are made pursuant to the Safe Harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1985. Forward-looking statements by their nature are uncertain and outside of the company's control. Actual results could differ materially from these expectations. These statements are not guarantees of future performance, and therefore, undue reliance should not be placed upon them. We do not undertake to update these forward-looking statements at a later date, and they only refer to today. In addition, today's call will include a discussion of non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS. Non-financial measures should be considered as a supplement to and not a substitute for GAAP financial measures. We refer you to the reconciliation of non-GAAP to the nearest GAAP measure included in today's earnings press release referred to detail. This call has been webcast and can be accessed through audio link on the news and events page of the investor section at ir.strive.com. Also, the earnings press release is posted on our website, and a copy of the release has been included in the Form 8K submitted to the SEC. With that, I would now like to turn the call over to Chris Beaver.
