Thank you, Amy, and good evening everyone. Our fourth quarter operating results came in ahead of our expectations and represented a strong sequential recovery as we effectively navigated the challenges of the pro channel inventory recalibration. I am pleased to report that, as anticipated, the inventory recalibration was completed by year end. With good participation in the early buy season, we entered the upcoming season with inventory levels that align with market expectations. Consumer demand for Trex decking and railing remained steady during the quarter, demonstrating the broad-based appeal of our product portfolio and the attractiveness of the outdoor living category as an ongoing secular trend. Supported by our industry-leading brand, manufacturing efficiency and the strength of our longstanding relationships with best-in-class channel partners, Trex offers the most relevant products and strongest service levels to customers every day. This has positioned Trex as the primary beneficiary of positive long-term trends towards outdoor living. In addition, Trex is the most widely available and purchased decking and railing brand in North America and around the world. In recent months, we expanded our distribution network in Texas, Oklahoma and other Southern states, enabling us to better service many of the fastest growing markets. As the world’s largest manufacturer and market leader of wood alternative composite decking and railing with the most expansive manufacturing and distribution network, our dealers and contractors can confidently grow sales. Q4 was the first quarter to benefit from the actions we took in July to align our cost structure with the lower sales volumes due to channel inventory recalibration. We reduced production levels, right-sized our employee base while retaining our most experienced manufacturing talent and implemented cost efficiency programs. These actions, together with easing inflationary pressures, enabled us to drive sequential increases in fourth quarter for both gross margin and EBITDA margin of 960 basis points and 710 basis points respectively. Additionally, further opportunities for margin expansion are expected with our ongoing investment and focus on continuous improvement programs. During the quarter, we balanced these actions aimed at improving our near-term profitability with longer-term decisions to support our growth trajectory, namely investing in the Trex brand and continuing to commercialize new products that broaden our market opportunity. In addition, we completed the sale of Trex Commercial Products. The divestiture reflects our decision to focus our resources on the most profitable opportunity for our company and its shareholders, namely accelerating conversion to composites from wood and further strengthening our industry leadership. For more than 30 years, we have reinvented and defined a composite decking category and innovation remains a key competitive advantage for Trex. In the fourth quarter, we doubled the number of color options available nationally for our recently launched Transcend Lineage decking collection, which incorporates heat mitigating technology with a refined color palette and finish. We also introduced a tiered warranty structure for Trex decking that underscores the value of our industry-leading good, better, best decking lineup. More recently, we announced the launch – the regional launch of our latest decking innovation, Trex Signature decking. This product offering elevates the premium composite decking category with the achievement of the most authentic wood aesthetics to date by raising the bar for beauty, performance and sustainability. Signature decking is backed by an industry-leading 50-year limited residential warranty and is complemented by the full range of Trex Signature railing. Trex innovation also extends to our robust sourcing and recycling efforts. Through the NexTrex recycling program, customers such as Rent the Runway, LL Bean and Urban Outfitters have found a solution to transform their single-use plastic waste into beautiful and sustainable Trex decking. While the economic backdrop remains uncertain, we continue to believe our tie to the repair and remodel sector makes us more resilient than other sectors. As many homeowners are priced out of moving, they tend to invest in their existing homes and pursue renovations, especially those that add long-term value like a Trex deck. Despite our general optimism, we are moving forward cautiously to ensure that we emerge in this period as an even stronger company. We have several key advantages that position Trex to outperform in both the near and long-term. First, the Trex brand, which is synonymous with high performance and low maintenance, continues to receive the most significant and prestigious recognition in the industry, including recently being named America’s most trusted composite decking brand by Lifestory Research, earning the highest trust rating among nine decking brands included in the survey, receiving the best reviews and satisfaction scores among survey respondents and being the only decking brand to earn the maximum five-star rating. Second, the 95% recycled and reclaimed content of our decking boards, coupled with our sustainable manufacturing process makes us the ideal choice for today’s increasingly eco-conscious consumer and an appealing investment for ESG and growth investors. Third, we have the highest production efficiency in the composite industry. Fourth, we have the industry’s leading network of channel partners with products sold through more than 6,700 retail outlets across six continents. Our brand appeal and strength have recently allowed Trex to gain additional stocking positions in the pro channel and to extend our market leading availability in the home center channel. And fifth, Trex’s company history of cash flow generation and balance sheet positions us for today and into the future. As we look to the long-term, our new manufacturing facility in Arkansas will give us the capacity to take full advantage of demand growth. While we are continuing with the modular build-out of the facility in 2023, when Arkansas comes online, Trex will have unmatched geographical coverage with east, west and central sites to serve our decking and railing customers and to drive additional long-term growth through expansion of our international sales in addressing the adjacent cladding market. While we are committed to the build-out of the Arkansas facility, we expect the build-out will extend beyond the originally planned 2024 timing with gradual manufacturing ramp starting with processing of recycled materials and then moving to decking manufacturing currently estimated to start in early 2026. We have entered 2023 with a position of strength supported by our brand and market leadership and a strong balance sheet. At the same time, we remain mindful of the macroeconomic environment, and as such, we are taking a conservative approach to full year planning. We expect to decrease our balance sheet inventory to more normalized levels throughout 2023, which will improve cash flow. As we have noted in prior calls, we have elected to run our facilities with the assumption of a $1 billion revenue run-rate for the year. However, if demand differs from expectations, we have the ability to quickly flex our production level accordingly.

Thank you, Bryan, and good afternoon everyone. Consolidated net sales were $192 million in the fourth quarter, which exceeded expectations. Trex Residential and Trex Commercial net sales were $181 million and $11 million respectively. As previously discussed, fourth quarter residential sales were impacted by the inventory recalibration in the pro channel spurred by concerns over a potential easing in consumer demand due to rising interest rates, declining consumer sentiment and expectations of a general slowing in the economy. However, as Bryan mentioned, we are pleased to report that the pro channel inventory correction was completed by year end 2022 as anticipated. In response to the inventory recalibration, we immediately took aggressive actions to better align our cost structure with current demand by reducing production, rightsizing our employee base and focusing on the cost reduction programs. As a result, we posted a significant sequential recovery in consolidated gross margin and Trex Residential gross margin, which increased to 34.1% and 36.1% respectively in the fourth quarter. In the year ago period, consolidated gross margin was 38.9% and Trex Residential gross margin was 39.7%. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $35.4 million or 18.5% of net sales in the fourth quarter compared to $36.7 million or 12.1% of net sales in the fourth quarter of 2021. Excluding $4.3 million of other expenses related to the sale of Trex Commercial and non-executive retention compensation, SG&A was $31.2 million or 16.2% of net sales. During the fourth quarter, we completed the sale of our wholly owned subsidiary and reportable segment, Trex Commercial. The divestiture reflects our decision to focus on driving the most profitable growth strategy for the company and its shareholders through the execution of our outdoor living strategy. The sale resulted in a $15.4 million loss in the fourth quarter. Beginning in 2023, the company will operate in one reportable segment, Trex Residential. We posted the relevant quarterly data in our earnings release and on our website in our investor presentation for ease of comparison. 2022 fourth quarter net income was $10 million or $0.09 per diluted share compared to $25 million or $0.22 per diluted share in the year ago quarter. Excluding the loss on the sale and other expenses related to the divestiture of Trex Commercial and non-executive retention compensation, adjusted net income was $25 million or $0.23 per diluted share. We are pleased to have delivered adjusted EBITDA of $46 million or 24.1% of net sales in line with our expectations. We used our strong balance sheet and cash flow to repurchase 1.1 million shares of our outstanding stock in Q4, returning $50 million to shareholders. We also outsized our revolver by $150 million, bringing our total debt capacity to $550 million to provide us with the additional financial flexibility. Summarizing our full year results, consolidated net sales were $1.1 billion compared to $1.2 billion in 2021. Trex Residential net sales were $1.1 billion, with Trex Commercial contributing $47 million. Consolidated and residential gross margins were 36.5% and 37.7% respectively compared to 38.5% and 39.3% respectively in 2021. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $142 million or 12.8% of net sales compared to $140 million or 11.7% of net sales in 2021. Excluding $5.5 million related to the loss on the sale and other expenses related to the divestiture of Trex Commercial non-executive retention compensation and third quarter severance charges, SG&A expenses in 2022 were $136 million or 12.3% of net sales. Full year 2022 net income was $185 million or $1.65 per diluted share compared to $209 million or $1.80 per diluted share in 2021. Excluding the loss on sale and other related expenses, the non-executive retention compensation and severance charges, adjusted net income in 2022 was $201 million or $1.80 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA was $313 million, resulting in an adjusted EBITDA margin of 28.3%, in line with guidance compared to adjusted EBITDA of $357 million adjusted EBITDA margins of 29.8% in 2021. We generated a very healthy operating cash flow of $216 million in 2022. We invested $176 million in CapEx, mostly related to the new Arkansas manufacturing facility. We also invested in our high-return investment cost reduction initiatives that will enable us to improve our profitability in 2023 and beyond. 2022 was also a record year for share buybacks as we returned approximately $395 million to shareholders through the repurchase of 6.5 million shares of our outstanding common stock with 1.5 million shares remaining under this existing program. As Bryan mentioned, we are committed to Arkansas as our third production location, but we expect the investment to occur over a longer time period. Total investment is still planned at approximately $400 million, most of which was initially planned to occur through late 2024. That investment will now carry on through 2025 and into 2026. We expect to use more working capital throughout the first half of the year as we level load our production to $1 billion of sales and deploy normal early buy programming to ensure our products are properly seeded in the channel. Given our strong share repurchases in 2022, we expect to be utilizing our revolver throughout the year and incurring interest expense in the range of $8 million to $9 million. As we turn to our outlook, we anticipate first quarter 2023 net sales to be in the range of $230 million to $240 million and we are seeing the following for our 2023 annual guidance; full year 2023 EBITDA margin to be in the 26% to 27% range; selling, general and administrative expenses in the range of 15% to 16% of net sales; an effective tax rate of approximately 25% to 26%; interest expense in the range of $8 million to $9 million; depreciation in the range of $45 million to $47 million; and capital expenditures in the range of $130 million to $140 million, which primarily relates to the modular build-out of our Arkansas facility calibrated to demand trends. With that, I will now turn the call back to Bryan.

Thank you, Dennis. To sum up, our fourth quarter performance has set the stage for 2023 to be a year of continuous improvement and return to normalized marketing of both the Trex brand and new products. Trex will continue to provide the consumer with a broad-based product portfolio and deliver meaningful value to our channel partners. We remain confident in our ability to outperform, thanks to our brand strength and market-leading position, distribution and retail partnerships, expanded product lines and most importantly, the dedication and collaboration of the people who make up the Trex organization. They are a key competitive advantage that cannot be replicated. Operator, please open the call to questions.

Today’s first question comes from John Lovallo with UBS. Please go ahead.

Good afternoon, guys. Thanks for taking my questions. The first one is I just want to make sure I have the math right here. So there was $200 million of channel inventory built starting in the third quarter of '21. I think $100 million was in the third quarter and fourth quarter combined. So the other $100 million was in 2022. And I believe last quarter, you said that two-thirds of that was in the first quarter, so call it $65 million to $70 million. It looks like the revenue guide year-over-year for the first quarter is down, call it, $90 million to $100 million year-over-year. So is that sort of $20 million to $30 million delta your assumption for the decline in sell-through?

It’s not as much a decline in sell-through as it is the channel being more conservative in the amount of inventory that they are willing to hold at this point. So there is still caution within the channel itself. Our balance sheet, we have additional inventory. We talked about building that inventory going into the end of the year as we were producing at a $1 billion level, but we weren’t selling at that level for the last six months of the year. So we are prepared to service the marketplace. But by far, the largest driver of it is a more conservative channel right now, not leaning quite as heavily into normal early buy as they have in the past.

Got it. Okay. And then at the midpoint of the EBITDA margin guide, you’d call it $265 million, it appears that assuming $1 billion in sales, it appears that the decremental margin would be somewhere around 80%. Are we thinking about that right? And what would drive such a sharp decremental margin?

Well, I think the way we’re looking at it because decrementals always get a little bit messy here when you’re dealing with that. But we’re looking at 26% to 27% EBITDA margins for the full year. So the main decreases year-over-year are going to be essentially with the step-up in SG&A as we talked about last year in Q3, right? So we talked about the need that we needed to step that up to support more branding to support our number one position with the brand. We wanted to also support R&D as well with new product deliveries as well as alternative formulations. And then thirdly, continuing to invest in our sales force as we want to grow in the highest wood conversion opportunity areas, but that would be the major ones.

Thank you.

Hi, guys. Thanks for taking the questions.

Hi, Ryan.

So first off, Brian or Dennis, can you unpack the $1 billion revenue guide a bit more? Just looking for details on sell-through and units, remodel outlook and any seasonality details that we should think about?

Yes. I think I mentioned in my opening comments a little bit about seasonality that I expect to see a steeper curve to the season than what we’ve seen in the past. We’re building our plan, assuming a $1 billion production plan, kind of assuming from a channel perspective that what sells in, sells out during the course of the year. We are not expecting any significant inventory build. And as I mentioned earlier, we will be ready to support that inventory need as the summer gets here. But we also have a planning assumption where the consumer is a little bit weaker, down at mid-single-digit type range on a full year basis. And it’s really more of the second half of the year. There is still more concern as there is just general uncertainty in the economy still. And if we do see that there is improvement, we do have the ability to quickly flex up that production and deliver whatever capacity is necessary.

Got it. Okay. That’s helpful. And then I know you said demand is steady. Can you just talk about sort of sell-through in Q4, what you’re seeing here in Q1 and just contractor confidence heading into the selling season?

Yes, we continue to see good demand in the fourth quarter. October and November were flat with prior year. We did see a bit of a fall off in December, a mid-single-digit type falloff. But moving into the new year, that’s improved where it’s roughly flat again with prior year. And talking with our contractors, backlogs have normalized. So rather than them being out between 8 and 12 weeks, many are going to be between 4 and 6 weeks at this point. So our contractors are still feeling pretty good about the season.

Good to hear. Thanks.

Yes. Thanks for the question. Good afternoon, guys.

Hi, Joe.

So I want to be really clear on what is guidance and what is not here because Dennis, in your prepared remarks, I think you jumped right to the EBITDA margin when you’re talking about 2023 guidance John did a good job of laying out the 1Q. I won’t go into detail on the full year, but other than to say that it implies at $1 billion, down something in the mid-teens. I think, Brian, I heard you say mid-single digits is your sell-through assumption I guess the bottom line of my question is, can we just be really clear on is the $1 billion a production rate assumption, which – to which we’d have to add your assumptions around selling through of your inventory? Or is the $1 billion not a guide here? Like what is the $1 billion?

Historically, we’ve provided one quarter out of revenue guide, and that’s what we’ve done this quarter. And also at the beginning of the year, we have provided a variety of different metrics, in this case, providing full year guidance on EBITDA, SG&A tax. So no, the $1 billion is not a full year guide. We’ve not moved to that. But I think given the changes in the marketplace, giving everybody here an understanding of the type of level that we’re producing to because if I were sitting in your chair, and we said we were producing to, let’s say, a $1.4 billion type rate. I might be a little bit concerned that the customer is not strong enough to support that kind of rate. So we believe that it’s important that we produce at a prudent rate while we have the ability to turn on production as we see the marketplace change.

Very clear. Okay. And then your residential EBITDA margin in 2018 was around 31%. Could you maybe help reconcile or bridge that number to your 26% to 27% guidance? What sort of constitutes that 400 to 500 basis points difference. DNA doesn’t really factor in there. Mix, I’ve always assumed is margin neutral. You’re talking about having invested in productivity and having a highly trained workforce. So is there a way to think about what’s driving that gap into 2023 versus 2018?

I think the biggest factor there, Joe, is really coming down to utilization of capacity. And that would basically drive this difference that you’re referencing at this point in time? We are operating at a level below our total capacity at this time.

Got it. Very clear, thank you, guys.

Yes. Hi, guys. Good afternoon. Maybe just first question, just can you talk a little bit about some of the shelf space wins that you talked about in your prepared remarks. And I guess maybe just expand a little bit on the value proposition and the levers that you’re kind of leading with because I think there are some questions out there from investors, if there is any sort of kind of pricing pressure that comes along with that? I don’t think there is, but I’m just kind of curious what you’re levering.

No, we have not seen pricing pressure in the marketplace. Our contractors have been comfortable in selling through the product lines we provided at the current price level. So that’s not something that we see that there is a high risk of. As it relates to the opportunities to win, I think we talked a little bit in the past about with Trex leading market share. And when you have some uncertainty in the marketplace, much bigger selling proposition is go with the leading brand. The brand is important when the consumer isn’t quite as strong. And we’ve seen a number of our channel partners move exclusively to Trex or increase their commitment with Trex as we move through this period. So that continues to be an opportunity as we move forward.

Okay. Okay. Good. And then I guess just from a margin cadence perspective, I mean anything that kind of call out from a seasonality perspective as we kind of think through the year, Dennis, maybe using Q4 as kind of a benchmark?

Yes. So that’s a great question. Thanks for that. So our jumping off point, if you will, as Brian mentioned, we got the full benefit of all of our restructuring and rightsizing our workforce in Q4. So we ended up at Trex Residential at 36%. We’re looking to see that lift gross margin lift by about 150 to 200 basis points for the full year. So I would expect to see those cost savings initiatives start to ramp up. Now when you get into the Q2, Q3, you’re offset partially here by a slightly weaker mix as we’re more DIY-oriented at that time. But I would just look at it pretty much level across the year with about a 38% gross margin, 37% to 38% gross margin.

Hey, good afternoon. Thanks for taking the question. So the channel inventory normalization, it sounds like that’s behind you. First off, if you could maybe give us a little color on kind of how you’re seeing the inventory levels within the channel here as we’re kind of getting into peak season. Sorry, if I missed it, I dropped off for just a second. But do you feel like it’s kind of at or even below kind of normal levels within the channel? Or just kind of what your thoughts are on that?

We attacked the excess inventory in the channel aggressively starting in July, and it was effective in getting it down to where we wanted to be by the end of the year. If you heard us talk about the year will be a little bit steeper curve as we move into Q2 and Q3. I would like to see a little bit more inventory in the channel, as we’ve seen historically? I’d probably be a little bit happier with that. But we recognize where the channel is coming from. We have the capacity here. We have the inventory to be able to support the reduced risk that they’d like to carry right now.

Got it. Got it. Okay. And then as you kind of think about on the cost side of things, any kind of deflation or maybe any kind of good signs on the cost side that you could point to maybe with input as we kind of look at this year?

Moderation is probably the right word for it at this point rather than deflation. I hope to see that as we move through the year, we actually have some commodities that we do see some significant deflation on, but we’re not really seeing that nor are we seeing evidence of that. If you would have asked me a month ago, I would have said aluminum probably is a great opportunity. And for those of you who follow aluminum, it recently shifted quite significantly where it’s kind of back to where it was in the back half of last year at those higher prices. So it’s something that we will keep you up to date on, but we’re not seeing a significant deflationary marketplace. We don’t buy a lot of PVC in the marketplace, which has deflated quite significantly.

Right. And I guess it’s fair to say then that the EBITDA margin guide of 26% to 27%, if we were to see some significant deflation there for you guys that that would create some potential upside for those margins?

Correct.

Thank you. In response to an earlier question, I think you said you’re expecting sell-through to be down mid-single digits for the year. I just wanted to confirm that, if you could talk about what you were thinking at this point in terms of first half versus second half?

Now we’re not necessarily expecting it to be down. We’re building our production plan with that in mind. And as we see this consumer is stronger as we move into Q2 and Q3 and more product is needed in the channel, we will be able to service that. But that $1 billion is based off of a mid-single-digit type decline.

Okay. And would you expect in the second half of the year, I mean, based on your production planning to get back up positive side, revenue and production year-over-year?

Yes. I think in the third quarter, you would see a significant. Clearly, we’ve got two really tough comps in the first half and in the back half of the year, much easier comps. And then the fourth quarter, really, the question will be, how do we see the consumer moving out into 2024 and how much risk is our channel willing to hold going into the end of the year? What does our early buy program look like in December or does it start in January? So those questions are still to be answered.

And one final one, can you talk about what pricing contributed in the fourth and what you’re planning in the first to revenue?

Yes. So pricing was about 10.7%. And in the first quarter, it’s going to be our biggest opportunity, probably around $4 million there. For the first half, it’s essentially like $5 million to $6 million, maybe max.

We’ve pretty much lapped all of our pricing. January of last year was the last significant pricing we took. We took a very small amount in April. So as we get through pretty much the first quarter, all of that pricing has been lapped.

The next question is from Jeff Stevenson with Loop Capital. Please go ahead.

Hi, thanks for taking my questions today. I was just wondering if you could talk more about your conversations with dealers and distributors about sell-through demand expectations as we move into the spring selling season. Has there been any sequential change you would call out compared with, say, 90 days ago or have expectations remain relatively steady with where they were?

I’d say expectations have remained relatively steady. They continue to see good demand through the fourth quarter. Clearly, there were some questions about that from a channel perspective. Would they be able to continue selling at a level to draw down inventory, but then also be able to bring in the start of an early buy in the month of December. And as you move out to the first quarter, again, we continue to see that consumers are going to both our pro channel as well as DIY customers and placing orders for Trex products.

That’s great to hear. And then I just wanted to touch on the progress you’ve made expanding your distribution and network. So the Texas announcements were encouraging. But just how long a runway do you believe you have in expanding your distribution partnerships moving forward?

Generally speaking, for Trex, it’s going to be less about adding new distributors. These were a couple of marketplaces where we see the growth is quite significant, and we felt that we needed to add some additional representation. So the largest growth will come from additional retail outlets as well as improving our share within the existing outlet that we sell from. But these were important enough in a marketplace that we do see outsized growth in the future that we wanted to call them out specifically.

Hi, guys. Congrats on an impressive quarter.

Thanks, Phil.

Question for you, Dennis, I guess, the 26% to 27% EBITDA margin target, appreciating you’re not guiding to $1 billion of sales, but that implies mid-single-digit volume declines, give or take. What if it was like weaker, like down 10%? Do you have enough levers to kind of still sustain that margin threshold in that demand backdrop?

Well, I think you saw in the past how we’re able to move and get our cost structure right. So I think that there are things that we would do to improve the margin structure and keep it robust.

Hey. Good evening everyone. Just given the kind of more gradual build out of Little Rock, can you maybe talk to the overall dollar amount of capacity you have just because with the return to growth in the coming years and the push out until 2026, just curious if you have enough capacity to grow at maybe your kind of historical rates as we get into the outer years here.

Yes. We are not going to get into the capacity of dollar value of total capacity that we have. We are confident that we have the capacity we need to be able to grow through that timeframe. If we see it come on quicker, we would use inventory as the buffer to build ahead on that.

Okay. Got it. And then in the near-term, if demand does end up being stronger than anticipated, how quickly can you ramp up production? Would that just be with your existing workforce, or would you need to hire additional people to service that additional demand?

It would be a combination of both. We would bring people in. I did mention in my comments, we do have a highly talented workforce today because we have kept our most experienced and long-tenured employees. So, we do have the ability to bring in some less skilled, less knowledgeable individuals on day one and be able to train them on how to run our lines. So they become highly skilled and are with us for a long period of time. But with a much higher percentage of highly skilled individuals who know all the ins and outs of running our lines, it’s much easier to bring on that line today than it was during the peak of the pandemic.

Hi. Good afternoon. Thanks for taking the question. Dennis, I just wanted to follow-up on an earlier comment about the gross margin cadence through the year. You expect relatively consistent other than some of the mix shift pressure in 2Q and 3Q. Does that mean that like in terms of the production levels, you are assuming that it stays relatively consistent through the year? I would think if productions were sort of ramping the gross margin would go up with it.

Yes. So, we build our plan basically assuming a level load of production to support $1 billion in sales. So, to answer your question, it’s a level load across the quarters.

Great. Thanks for taking my questions. So first, I just want to get – make sure I am understanding it right in terms of the first quarter sales. You mentioned that the destocking is largely completed or completed by year-end. At the same time, you are looking at a – on an adjusted basis, if you take out the builds from last year, still sales down about 8% to 12%. And – but the sell out – the sell-through, did I hear it right that you are expecting it to be roughly flat year-over-year. So, the delta would be a difference in channel inventory?

Well, we are thinking sell-in will be equal to sell-out, right. And so I think Bryan talked a little bit about Q1 sales being a little lighter than we would like them to be at this point in time because the channel understand – we understand the channel’s position, they understand as well that we have inventory and we have capacity. However, we expect things to heat up here in the second quarter and be more of a shift, much higher shift in demand in Q2. So that’s how we are looking at that first half. First half would be larger than the second half as far as sales go. I wouldn’t call it a 50-50 across the halves.

And I think it’s important to recognize, even though the channel is not stocking to the same degree that it has in the past, it will be building inventory in the first quarter. It’s a must to be able to service the marketplace during the peak part of the season as some of that inventory is built. So, that when we talk about producing and what we see in the sell-through, that’s on the course of the full year. But through the first quarter, we definitely expect inventory to be built in the channel. It’s just much more conservative than what it has been in the past.

If Q4 has even – Q4 '23 has even some normalized level of inventory build in the channel, that would be upside to thinking about the $1 billion of production. Is that a fair way to think of it?

Yes, depending upon the strength of the consumer. If the consumer behaves as we have expected with the production plan that we have built, then yes, there would be upside based on that.

Just curious if you have enough capacity to grow at maybe your kind of historical rates as we get into the outer years here.

Yes. We are confident that we have the capacity we need to be able to grow through that timeframe. If we see it come on quicker, we would use inventory as the buffer to build ahead on that.

This concludes our question-and-answer session. I would like to turn the conference back over to Bryan Fairbanks for any closing remarks.

Thank you for your questions and your attendance on today’s call. We look forward to speaking with many of you during the quarter at conferences and other events. Have a great evening. Thanks.

The conference has now concluded. Thank you for attending today’s presentation. You may now disconnect.
