Skechers U.S.A., Inc.

Greetings and welcome to Skechers' second quarter 2024 earnings conference call. At this time, all participants are on a listen-only mode. A question and answer session will follow the formal presentation. As a reminder, this conference is being recorded.

I would now like to turn the conference over to Skechers. Thank you. You may begin. Howdy, everyone.

Thanks for joining Skechers' second quarter 2024 earnings conference call. My name is Jared Dollarbrook. I'm a senior product manager on the product development team here at Skechers, and I've been with the company since starting as an intern in 2017. My favorite style is the Snoop One OG sneaker from our Snoop Dogg collab. Also joining us on the call are Skechers' chief operating officer, David Weinberg, and chief financial officer, John Vandermoor. Before we begin, I would like to remind everyone of the company's safe harbor statement. Certain statements made on today's call contain forward-looking statements based on current expectations, including, without limitation, statements addressing the beliefs, plans, objectives, estimates, and expectations of the company and its future results in certain events. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from such statements. There can be no assurance that the actual future results performance, or achievements expressed or implied by any of our forward-looking statements will occur. Please refer to the company's reports filed with the SEC, including its annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, for more information on these risks and uncertainties that may affect the company's business, financial conditions, cash flows, and results of operations. With that, I would like to turn the call over to Sketcher's Chief Operating Officer, David Weinberg.
