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

Kevin? Sure, Chris. We want to remind everyone that statements made in the course of this meeting dictate 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 floor lifting 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 the Forms 10-Q for the first, second, and third quarter of 2023, the latter of which we filed last night. Copy 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 of course 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 on our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31st, 2022, and again on the Forms 10-Q for the first, second, and third quarters of 2023, all of which are posted to our website. Furthermore, the company disclaims all responsibility to update forward-looking statements.
