Good morning, everyone. My name is Joseph Visconti. I'm the President and CEO of Twin Vee PowerCats. I'm joined on the call with Carrie Gunnerson, our CFO. Thank you for joining our third quarter 2023 investor call. As many of you know, Twin Vee designs, manufactures, and sells a range of catamaran sport boats from our Fort Pierce, Florida factory. For nearly 30 years, Twin Vee has been synonymous with offshore catamaran boats and considered by many to be one of the best riding boats on the water. The general economic landscape, including rising interest rates, continues to directly affect consumer purchasing on many recreational products. While we see entry-level buyers affected by higher interest rates, we are also seeing cash buyers with slightly better demand for larger boats. The kickoff for boat show season in Florida was two weeks ago, when one of the largest and most respected boat shows named FLIBS, or the International Fort Lauderdale Boat Show, was held in Lauderdale. Twin Vee, along with OneWater, our partner dealer, had a fantastic display in the brand-new Fort Lauderdale Convention Center. We showcased every Twin Vee model, except our 400, in a large, well-positioned location at the show, and we had a decent amount of traffic. After the dust settles, we feel confident that we will have sold between five and seven units at that show, including two 340 GFXs. Based on current market conditions, I would call this a strong single or double in terms of sales. Many brands at the show did not fare as well. There's no doubt that we are seeing the industry taper and face continued headwinds. This is a time where leadership, smart planning, and what I call rightsizing the business is now the priority. We will continue to monitor market conditions, dealer inventory levels, direct and indirect costs, with the goal of not burning cash from operations as we push forward. So, what does pushing forward look like? Well, our Twin Vee team is smartly pushing forward by focusing on product development and laying the groundwork with new models across all brands. When the market turns, and it will, we will be ready for the next upswing. It also means being operationally lean is our number one focus. Let's talk about some opportunities. Last year, we designed and produced four 400 GFXs, which was our largest boat ever designed and produced in-house. We successfully sold the initial four boats to two of our dealers in Florida and Texas. The Gen 1 400 GFX was well received. Three of the four units successfully retailed from the dealers to the customers. One of our 400 GFX Texas customers even won a big fishing tournament, as you might have seen on social media. Based on some feedback from our dealers, we chose to make some modifications to this now-called Gen 2 400 GFX. The new version is faster, and we've reached speeds of 75 miles an hour in a test a couple of weeks ago. The new 400 has more storage, seating, and more tech, and all around, it's a next-level fishing machine. We have completed and shipped hull number one of this Gen 2 400 to our partner OneWater Marine, and we are currently finishing number two, which we plan to deliver to OneWater at the end of this month. As we move to larger production boats, this will help us reduce the number of total units we have to produce and also meet or exceed our revenue targets. We also have our upcoming 280 GFX console; our dual console officially entered production, and our number one 280 should be delivered to our dealer network in January. We actually have a healthy number of orders for this new 280 DC, or dual console. Now I try not to mention our competitors, but WorldCat is a competitor, and we utilize what's called the SSI data, which tracks all boat registrations in the United States. According to SSI data, the number one selling WorldCat boat is their 28-foot dual console, with over 75 units sold annually of that one particular model. We're super excited to help fulfill some of those orders. New products open new markets, and new products expand our reach to customers seeking various lengths and styles of our boats. Our mission to open new markets and expand our reach led us to acquire the well-known Aquasport brand. The Monaco boating market is one of the largest boat buying markets next to pontoons, and we believe that our investment in the Aquasport brand will allow our company to increase market share and grow our top-line revenue over the long run. When we acquired the Aquasport brand located in White Bluff, Tennessee, the plan was to initially produce their existing legacy line of Aquasport Monaco boats being produced in that facility. If you remember from previous calls or press releases, we are also producing some Aquasports in our factory here in Fort Pierce, specifically the 22 center console and the 22 dual console. While there was some interest in the legacy models from White Bluff, Tennessee, we did not see enough demand to maintain a second factory over 100,000 square feet, four states away. We decided to consolidate all Aquasport manufacturing into our Florida facility and sunset the Tennessee facility. We feel confident that this decision will reduce overall costs and enhance the quality and speed of our boat production here in Fort Pierce. The company remains dedicated to the Aquasport brand and will continue designing and producing new models, including a new Aquasport 24 center console that should be in production within 30 days. We've also begun designing a brand-new Aquasport 28 center console, which will be available over the next four to five months. Turning to some updates on items we discussed in previous quarterly calls, Twin Vee's Fort Pierce factory is currently expanding its floor space. We've been working on this 30,000 square-foot addition for quite some time. We did receive building approval and are in the final stages of negotiations with our general contractor and are moving forward with that addition. This will result in 100,000 square feet of production space here in Fort Pierce. As we continue to grow, this will allow us to ramp up to over 700 units annually and have management control and all the controls you could imagine under one roof. This will allow us to build both Twin Vee's and Aquasport boats simultaneously without workflow disruptions and pave the way for both brands to continue their growth and scaling efforts. Before we open up the call for questions, I'd like to report that despite the headwinds, we saw an 8% increase in net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, of approximately $25 million compared to approximately $23 million in the same period of 2022. We did incur a net loss of $1.6 million for our gas-powered segment for the nine months of 2023. This $1.6 million is broken out into a $500,000 operational loss on Twin Vee and a $1.1 million loss for Aquasport, the majority of which was really due to opening the factory, stocking inventory, hiring, ramping up, and bringing that facility online. The greater loss was attributed to Forza, which is not yet revenue positive, accounting for $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The Forza loss is a direct reflection of Twin Vee's majority ownership in Forza X1, of which we still own 44%, and we are required to consolidate that financial statement in accordance with GAAP accounting. Twin Vee's net cash, restricted cash, and marketable securities were approximately $8.5 million as of September 30. Our inventory levels have grown over the past two quarters to over $8 million, so we are going to work diligently over the next quarter to reduce that inventory. We have been dealing with various supply chain issues, but as of today, I would say 95% of all materials and goods are now on a just-in-time delivery. Most distributors and vendors have caught up. With the slowdown in the recreational market, we can buy as many products and components as we need. Our focus now is to reduce that inventory number and convert it into cash. The goal is that in the next quarter, we will see that $8.5 million in current cash increase. While markets are choppy, we are remaining prudent with our balance sheet and continuing to grow our business as the market allows. As we push forward with new and exciting products, delivering value to our shareholders remains our goal. At this time, I would like to open it up for questions.
Thank you. We will now begin the question-and-answer session. There are no questions at this time. I would like to hand the call back to Joseph Visconti for closing comments.
I just want to thank everybody, thank our employees for continuing to work hard, thank our investors for the confidence that they have in us. I hope everyone has a great day, and we'll talk to you soon. Thank you.
This concludes today's conference. You may disconnect your lines at this time, and we thank you for your participation.
