Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc.

Good morning, and welcome to the Sturm, Ruger & Company first quarter 2023 conference call. I'd like to ask Kevin Reed, our general counsel, to read the caution on forward-looking statements. Tom Dean, our chief financial officer, will give an overview of the first quarter 2023 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 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31st, 2022, and of course on the Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2023, 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 ruber.com forward slash corporate or the SEC website at sec.gov. We do reference non-GAAP EBITDA. Please note 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, 2022, and our Form 10Q for the first quarter of 2023, both of which also are posted on our website. Furthermore, the company disclaims all responsibility to update forward-looking statements. Chris? Thank you, Kevin.

Now Tom will discuss the company's first quarter 2023 results. Tom?
