Good morning, and welcome to the Sturm, Ruger & Company third quarter 2021 conference call. I would like to ask Kevin Reed, our general counsel, to read the caution on forward-looking statements. Then Tom Dineen, our chief financial officer, will give an overview of the third quarter 2021 financial results, and then I will discuss our operations and the state of the market. After that, we'll get to your questions.

Kevin? Thanks, Chris. We want to remind everyone that statements made in the course of this meeting that state the company's or management's intentions, hopes, beliefs, expectations, or predictions of the future are forward-looking statements. It is important to note that the company's actual results could differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking statements. Additional information concerning factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements is contained from time to time in the company's SEC filings including but not limited to the company's reports on the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, and, of course, on the Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2021, which we filed last night. Copies of these documents may be obtained by contacting the company or the SEC or on the company website at ruger.com forward slash corporate or, of course, the SEC website at sec.gov. We do reference non-GAAP EBITDA. Please notice that the reconciliation of GAAP net income to non-GAAP EBITDA can be found in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31st, 2020, and on our Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2021, both of which are posted to our website. Furthermore, the company disclaims all responsibility to update forward-looking statements.
