Good afternoon. Welcome to Lifeway Foods' Business Update Call. On the call with me today is Julie Smolyansky, Chief Executive Officer. By now, everyone should have access to the press release that went out this evening. If you have not received this release, it is available on the Investor Relations portion of Lifeway's website at www.lifewaykefir.com. A recording of this call will be available on the company's website. Before we begin, we would like to remind everyone that the prepared remarks contain forward-looking statements and management may make additional forward-looking statements in response. These -- the words believe, expect, anticipate and other similar expressions generally identify forward-looking statements. These statements do not guarantee future performance and therefore, undue reliance should not be placed on them. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements. Lifeway assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking projections that may be made in today's release or call. All of the forward-looking statements contained herein speak only of as the date of this call. And with that, I would like to turn the call over to Lifeway's Chief Executive Officer, Julie Smolyansky.
