All lines have been placed on a listen-only mode, and the call will be open for questions and comments following the management presentation. At this time, it is my pleasure to turn the call over to Andrew LaFrence.

Andrew LaFrence: Thank you, John. I'd also like to welcome everyone to today's conference call. Jay will begin the call with a review of our operations, recent developments and business outlook, then I will review Nortech's fourth quarter and full year 2023 financial results before turning it back over to Jay for his closing comments. Then we will open up the call for your questions.

Jay Miller: Thank you, Andy, and good afternoon, everyone. We're glad you could join us today. Since this is Andy's first conference call with Nortech, I'd like to take a minute and officially welcome him. Andy joined us in December as CFO and Senior VP of Finance, bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience. He's held C-suite positions with several public and private companies, and has served on a number of corporate and non-profit boards. Andy also spent a number of years on the audit side as a partner at KPMG. Nortech is very fortunate to have Andy on the team. Along with overseeing Nortech's financial operations, Andy will assist our leadership team and Board of Directors with strategic planning. As I've mentioned on past calls, strategic planning at Nortech is an ongoing iterative process integrated into our DNA.
