Dale Ganobsik: Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us today for The Marzetti Company’s fiscal year 2025 fourth quarter conference call. Formerly known as Lancaster Colony Corporation, our business rebranded as The Marzetti Company effective June 27. This rebranding honors the 130-year history of our flagship Marzetti brand and signals our future as a food company with an ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality, flavorful products that make every meal better. While Lancaster Colony will always be an important part of our heritage, we believe the Marzetti name is critical to positioning our business in today’s food industry and communicating the value we deliver to all of our stakeholders.
We felt that our discussion this morning may include forward-looking statements, which are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, and the company undertakes no obligation to update these statements based upon subsequent events. A detailed review of these risks and uncertainties is contained in the company’s filings with the SEC. Also note that the audio replay of this call will be archived and available on our website investors.marzetti.com later today. For today’s call, Dave Ciesinski, our President and CEO, will begin with a business update and highlights for the quarter.
Tom Pigott, our CFO, will then provide an overview of the financial results. Dave will then share some comments regarding our current strategy and outlook. At the conclusion of our prepared remarks, we’ll be happy to respond to any of your questions. Once again, we appreciate your participation this morning. I’ll now turn the call over to The Marzetti Company’s President and CEO, Dave Ciesinski. Dave?
Dave Ciesinski: Thanks, Dale, and good morning, everyone. It’s a pleasure to be here with you today as we review our financial results and provide you with an update on our business. Before I provide comments on our fiscal fourth quarter results, I am pleased to share that we completed fiscal year 2025, which ended June 30, with record high net sales, gross profit, and operating income. I want to extend a sincere thank you to all of our teammates throughout our business for their countless contributions to this achievement, as well as their continued commitment to our ongoing success.
