Thank you, Adrienne. Good morning, and thank you for joining our fiscal fourth quarter conference call. Last April, amidst a difficult and highly uncertain macroeconomic backdrop, we articulated four guiding objectives, which included treating our employees well, serving our customers well, effectively managing our supply chains, and thus positioning the company for sustainable long-term success. With these in mind, we began fiscal 2021 well-positioned to successfully navigate near-term uncertainty with a clear objective of emerging as an even stronger company. Today, I'm pleased to announce that in fiscal 2021, by many measures, our team delivered CSWI's best ever year. Our achievements were enabled by the strength of our diversified business model and resulted from our team's tireless work and dedication, coupled with strategic, disciplined allocation of capital. During the last year, we executed on all aspects of our capital allocation strategy, including inorganic investments via the acquisition of TruAir and the formation of the Whitmore Shell Joint Venture, the return of $15.4 million to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends, and an $8.8 million investment in organic growth capital expenditures. Additionally, we reported impressive fiscal fourth quarter and full year revenue growth record full-year adjusted EPS of $3.37, and adjusted EBITDA of $91.6 million. Subsequent to the fiscal year end, we increased our quarterly cash dividend by 11.1% to 15 cents per share, indicating confidence in our fiscal 2022 outlook. Today, we announced the execution of a new five year 400 million dollar revolving credit facility providing 168 million of effective availability based upon the amount borrowed as of the fiscal year end further strengthening our balance sheet and providing capital for future inorganic growth opportunities i will now turn the call over to james who will discuss our fourth quarter and full year results thank you joe good morning everyone during the fiscal fourth quarter
