Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc.

Good day, and thank you for standing by. Welcome to Sturm Ruger's second quarter 2023 earnings conference call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. After the speaker's presentation, there will be a question-and-answer session. To ask a question during the session, you'll need to press star 1-1 on your telephone. You will then hear an automated message advising your hand is raised. To remove yourself from the queue, please press star 11 again. Please be advised that today's conference is being recorded. I would now like to hand the conference over to Christopher Killoy, President and Chief Executive Officer. Please go ahead, sir.

Good morning, and welcome to the Sturm, Ruger & Company second quarter 2023 conference call. I'll ask Kevin Reed, our General Counsel, to read our caution on forward-looking statements. Then Tom Dineen, our Chief Financial Officer, will give an overview of the second quarter 2023 financial results. And then I will discuss our operations and the current market. After that, we'll get to your questions. Kevin?

Thanks, Chris. As usual, we want to remind everyone that statements made in the course of this meeting that say the company's or management's intentions, hopes, beliefs, expectations, or predictions of the future are poor-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, of course, the company's reports on the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and on the Form 10-Qs for the first and second quarters of 2023, the latter of 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 the SEC website at SEC.gov. We do reference non-GAAP EBITDA. Please note that the reconciliation of net, excuse me, GAAP net income to non-GAAP EBITDA can be found in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and our Form 10-Qs for the first and second quarters of 2023, all of which are posted to our website. Furthermore, the company disclaims all responsibility to update forward-looking statements. Chris?
