Eric Wintemute
Chairman and CEO

Thank you, Kevin. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining this call. Let me start by putting a point on what we had outlined in the press release that we issued on Friday. We expect our full year 2022 financial performance will exceed that of 2021 in all material respects. Furthermore, we expect to achieve significant growth and profitability in 2023 over 2022, and we will be giving you specific performance targets for the 23-year and about six weeks on our March earnings call. In the fourth quarter, we were forced to delay roughly $15 million of high margin sales due to a supply chain disruption. Now that we have fixed the supply disruption, we expect to largely recoup the sales that we lost in Q4, such that they will shift forward and benefit 2023 performance. With a strong balance sheet and favorable market conditions, We believe we are poised to enjoy strong growth in all metrics for this coming year.
