Good morning, everybody, and welcome to Standard Motor Products' fourth quarter conference call, and we thank you for attending. I am Larry Sills, Chairman of the Board. With me today Eric Sills, President and CEO, Jim Burke, Chief Operating Officer, Nathan Iles, Chief Financial Officer, and we welcome a new participant, Tony Cristello, the Vice President of Investor Relations. Tony has just recently joined our company. Many of you already know Tony. He's been in our industry for many years, both on the analyst side and the business side, and we think you will be a great addition, and Tony, we welcome you to our team. Our agenda for today, Tony will start with the forward-looking statement, then Eric will provide an overview of company performance, both for the fourth quarter and for 2021. Jim will review some key areas of operations. Nathan will do a deep dive into the numbers and provide some initial thoughts about 2022. Then, of course, we'll open for Q&A. So with that, here we go. Let's start, and I will turn it over to Tony for the forward-looking statements.

Before we begin this morning, I'd like to remind you that some of the material that we'll be discussing today may include forward-looking statements regarding our business and expected financial results. When we use words like anticipate, believe, estimate, or expect, these are generally forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, they are based on information currently available to us and certain assumptions made by us, and we cannot assure you that they will prove correct. You should also read our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a discussion of the risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements. I'll now turn the call over to Eric Sills, our CEO.
