first quarter 2024 earnings conference call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. After the speaker presentation, there will be a question and answer session. To ask a question during the session, you will need to press star 1-1 on your telephone. To remove yourself from the queue, you may press star 1-1 again. I would now like to hand the call over to Chris Colloy, President and CEO. Please go ahead.

Good morning and welcome to Sturm Ruger & Company's first quarter 2024 conference call. I'll ask Kevin Reed, our general counsel, to read the caution on forward-looking statements. Tom Dineen, our chief financial officer, will then give an overview of the first quarter 2024 financial results. And then I will discuss our operations, including our recent reduction in force and profitability improvement plan and the market. After that, we'll get to your questions.

Kevin? Thanks, Chris. As always, 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, 2023, and of course on the Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2024, which we filed last night. Cops of these documents may be obtained by the company or the SEC, or on the company website at lubr.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 in our Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31st, 2023, and our Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2024, both of which are posted to our website. Furthermore, the company has claimed all responsibility to update forward-looking statements. Chris?
