This slide highlights our strategically located operations that include seven offices and four distribution centers, including our 873,000 sq ft facility in Shepherdsville, Kentucky. In 2023, warehouse shipments totaled over 70 million units through our highly skilled workforce, with tech-enabled facilities and infrastructure that allows Alliance to achieve industry-leading speed and accuracy metrics. I will now hand the call over to Alliance's CEO and CFO, my partner, Jeff Walker. Thank you, Bruce, and thank you all for joining us today. We will now turn to an overview of our financial results in the second fiscal quarter ended December 31st, 2023. Net revenues for fiscal second quarter ended December 31st, 2023, were $426 million compared to $445 million the same period of 2022. Of note, our consumer direct shipments grew to 45% of gross sales revenue for the fiscal second quarter compared to 37% in the year-ago period, totaling 2.3 million shipments of 5.3 million units. Gross profit for the fiscal second quarter ended December 31st, 2023, was $47.7 million compared to $20.9 million in the same period of 2022, an increase of 128%. Gross profit margin for the fiscal second quarter ended December 31st, 2023, was 11.2%, up from 4.7% in the same period of 2022. Net income for the fiscal second quarter ended December 31st, 2023, was $8.9 million compared to a net loss of $15.5 million for the same period of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal second quarter ended December 31st, 2023, was $17.9 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA loss of $14.5 million for the same period of 2022. Over the last 12 months, we have significantly reduced inventory and debt, with fiscal second quarter December 31st, 2023, year-over-year inventory decreasing from $175 million down to $114 million, and debt down from $177 million to $107 million. We also closed on a new three-year $120 million senior secured asset-based credit facility with White Oak Commercial Finance, LLC, replacing the company's revolver with Bank of America. On this slide, you can see, fiscal year 2022, we were experiencing the benefits of COVID with peak sales of $1.42 billion in revenue. Fiscal 2023, our sales normalized after COVID with sales of $1.16 billion. For Fiscal 2023, Adjusted EBITDA was negatively affected with a one-time supply chain cost of $35.8 million. We've gotten past those one-time supply issues. For the second quarter ending December 31st, 2023, our Adjusted EBITDA was 4.2% of revenue. We are continuing to reduce operating costs and improve margins in 2024 to get back to 5% Adjusted EBITDA of sales. For this slide, you will see six months of sales compared to the previous four fiscal years. We wanted to show you how diversified Alliance is and how consistent sales by configuration are. The diversified products offered is a big part of the Alliance winning formula. In addition to the huge growth in our year-over-year quarterly gross profit, we reduced operating costs $5.2 million through warehouse efficiencies and new technology implemented, going from $35.4 million down to $30.2 million. These efficiencies will have an ongoing positive impact going forward. On this slide, gross profit improvement and expense reductions also led to a third consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA, increasing to $17.9 million in the fiscal second quarter compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $14.5 million in the prior year. EBITDA as a percentage of sales was a strong 4.2%. The first half of our fiscal year saw net revenues for the six months ending December 31st, 2023, total $652 million compared with $684 million in the same period of 2022, a decrease of 4.6%. Gross profit was $74 million compared to $46.4 million in the same period of 2022, an increase of 59.5%. Gross profit margin was 11.3%, up from 6.8% in the same period of 2022. Net income was $5.5 million compared to a net loss of $23 million for the same period of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ending December 31st, 2023, was $19.2 million compared to adjusted EBITDA loss of $18.6 million for the same period of 2022. For this slide, it shows the quarterly results in Q1 2020 for gross profit, net income per GAAP, and adjusted EBITDA. Comparing Q2 fiscal year 2020 to Q2 fiscal year 2024, adjusted EBITDA has increased from $11.2 million to $17.9 million, which is a 60% increase over the past four years. We have taken significant steps over the past year to strengthen our balance sheet with additional cost-saving initiatives planned. Throughout 2023, we were highly focused on reducing inventory and debt, with fiscal second quarter year-over-year inventory decreasing from $175 million to $114 million and debt down from $177 million to $107 million. We also expect significant cost savings fiscal year ending 2025 with the planned closing of our Minnesota facility in May of 2024. Additionally, to support growth, we recently secured a new three-year $120 million senior secured asset-based credit facility with White Oak Commercial Finance, the proceeds of which were used to refinance the existing credit facility, fund working capital needs, and provide for general corporate purposes. These steps have also positioned us to focus and execute on implementing our acquisition strategy going forward. I will now turn the call back over to Bruce. Thank you, Jeff. Going back to what Jeff mentioned regarding our acquisition strategy, Alliance has a proven track record of successfully acquiring and integrating competitors and complementary businesses. We have acquired over a dozen companies in the last 20 years, including Alliance Entertainment, ANconnect, Mecca Electronics, Distribution Solutions, COKeM, and Think3Fold. We also continue to focus on acquiring more licenses and exclusive distribution agreements in music, video, gaming, collectibles, and electronics. Expanding our existing products and service offerings and executing our acquisition strategy will drive Alliance's efforts toward increasing market share. Alliance will further invest in automating facilities and upgrading proprietary software. Alliance's direct-to-consumer, or DTC, services are in greater demand as consumer preferences shift and stress retailers' e-commerce and DTC capabilities. Enhancing DTC relationships will grow existing revenue lines, and improving capabilities will generate a more attractive overall service offering. Leveraging existing relationships, Alliance can expand into new consumer product segments, growing its product offering and providing more selection and diversity to our existing customer base while attracting new customers in the process. In closing, Alliance is a leading global entertainment wholesaler, direct-to-consumer distributor, and e-commerce provider for the entertainment industry, with over 30 years of operations experience within the entire Alliance management team, which beneficially owns more than 81% of the common shares outstanding and has extensive knowledge and tribal knowledge to lead the company towards future growth. We are a leader in fulfillment and e-commerce distribution, with over 325,000 SKUs physically in stock, protected by a focused commitment of service, selection, and technology. Suppliers and brick-and-mortar retailers, omni-retailers, online retailers, and consumers rely on the company's platforms to fuel transition volume for trusted, dependable relationships. Through the expansion of partnerships with our vendors and our customers, as well as investment in existing facilities, Alliance expects to continue to grow revenue and expand margins. Again, we have a proven track record of M&A, having successfully acquired and integrated 12 significant businesses in 2003. There are significant future acquisition and consolidation opportunities to drive future growth through the acquisition of complementary businesses and competitors. Finally, the company's technology platform increases the efficiency of transactions, reduces labor costs, provides great mobile accessibility, and incorporates modern marketing and fintech tools. We look forward to providing our shareholders with further updates in the near term as we strengthen our leadership position as the premier distributor of music, movies, video games, arcade toys, collectibles, and consumer electronics. I thank you all for attending now, and I'd like to hand the call back over to the operator to begin our question-and-answer session. Operator? Thank you. We will now be conducting a question-and-answer session. If you would like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad. A confirmation tone will indicate your line is in the question queue. You may press star two if you would like to remove your question from the queue. For participants using speaker equipment, it may be necessary to pick up your handset before pressing the star keys. One moment, please, while we pull for questions. Thank you. Our first question comes from the line of Ashok Kumar with ThinkEquity. Please proceed with your question. The first question is on, I mean, basically, the questions revolve around your operational key performance indicators. The first question is on distribution and fulfillment expense. So, on a year-on-year basis, the 12/31/2023 versus the preceding year, you saw a $5.6 million decrease, right? So, on a percentage basis, that's a full-point improvement as a percentage of sales. So, what's the driver behind that? And in your prepared remarks, question number 2 is on Adjusted EBITDA. It indicated a $35.8 million adjustment. And the footnote indicates excessive transportation costs, markdowns, and other arcade-related costs. If you could walk us through that. And then the last question is on your balance sheet. Your inventory saw a $61 million improvement, and your revolving credit also was down $69.7 million, right? Could you, again, provide some additional notes on the drivers behind those improvements? Thank you. Ashok, thank you for that question. Jeff, I think I'll let you start off there. Okay. Well, let me start off with the, I'll start off with the last question. A big reduction in our inventory and our debt at 12/31. Those two kind of really go hand in hand. As we came out of 12/31/2022, we still had a high level of, a higher than optimal level of inventory. And we've been diligently working on reducing down that inventory during calendar 2023. And as we reduced down that inventory, the cash conversion from the inventory reduced our line of credit along the way there. The other component, one last piece that factors into there, is, with interest rates really increasing over the last couple of years, prior when we had very low interest costs, it was optimal for us to carry a much higher level of inventory. And as interest costs have increased in this last 2 years, it definitely makes us readjust our inventory buying processes. In some cases, we might have bought a month's worth of stock at a time. Now, we might buy two weeks at a time, and then two weeks later, replenish some more to help continue to improve our inventory turns and so forth there. On the question of reducing our operating expenses, we definitely had a significant improvement in our fourth quarter operating expenses. That's primarily all warehouse and facility expenses. A big component was with our AutoStore system. That system is highly efficient and reduced a significant amount of people to put away product in the warehouse and pick orders as well. That was a big component. We did also see a little bit easing up on labor over this last Q4 versus the prior Q4. In Q4 of 2022, we definitely had to do a lot more incentives for labor in the warehouse to have the warehouse fully staffed. That eased up a little bit in 2023. This is Bruce speaking, Jeff. I'll take that last question there, that three-part question there on the one-time supply chain issues, I believe. Ashok, that's what you asked? Oh, yes, Bruce. Yeah. So it really started a couple of years before. It really started in 2021, where we were doing really, really well in arcades, and we placed very large orders in 2021 because we had really large orders from all the major retailers. Target, Walmart, Costco, everybody, Walmart, anybody, everybody who was carrying arcades during COVID was selling anything that would make the man caves better for people at home to have a good time. So we placed all the orders. We had to put some deposits up. We had to put some supply chain financing. We're like letters of credit. Unfortunately, we got caught up in all those supply chain issues that all retailers had to deal with, whether it be Walmart, Target, Kohl's, Bed Bath & Beyond, where the ships just could not get unloaded. All that products that we needed for Q4 of 2021 just were not able to get arrived, and we could not deliver to retail when they wanted it for those big high-selling seasons when the arcades are at their peak time there. So we came out of the holiday there with all this arcade inventory that we were not able to ship. And to add insult to injury, the supply chain costs of the containers went from $4,000 a container to $28,000 a container. Then you had to add the demurrage charges, and you would add storage, transloading, anything you imagine there. And all our pricing that we had based it for, for the retailers who gave us POs for, was based on $4,000 containers, not $28,000 containers. That may not sound like a lot of money, but when you're only talking about 200-400 arcades that can fit in a container, jumping by that amount of money, now suddenly your landed freight cost increases by close to $100. So now, because we are PCAOB and our cost of inventory is landed costs, which includes all the carrying costs and the storage costs of bringing it in not storage costs, importing costs, and so we had an inventory on our books with a very high value of the landed cost. Then we were then trying to sell that inventory in 2022. We came out of 2021 with over $130 million in arcade inventory. When we were forecasting, we should have no more than $50 million. We missed all the sales opportunities in 2021 that we were planning on. So 2022, now we are way overstocked in arcades. We had to deal with the fact now that the interest rates were going up, the price of gas is going up, inflation was hitting. There was no more stimulus money coming from the government there. So we spent all of 2022 selling off that inventory and trying to reduce our balance sheet down with that. So we did bring that $130 million for 2022 down by $80 million, which was great from a balance sheet perspective, but it really just wreaked havoc with our financial statement. If we had probably been smarter in hindsight though with 2020, we really should have put some big reserves on our 6/30/2023 financials there so that we didn't have this big hit in Q2 of our financials there. We had a $35 million. We had a $21 million loss instead of a profit there. And that just hurt everything about our financial statements. It caused a bank violation. That was the start of the bane of all our problems. The good news is we got through all that, and we were able to. We were able to turn that all into cash and turn that all around. And as Jeff was talking about how the inventory had been right-sized, a lot of it had to do with that we were able to right-size our arcades in all of calendar year 2023. I think, Jeff, you wanted to say something else? Go ahead. Yeah. The reserve that we really should have put on would have been on June 30th, 2022 finances. Correct. Thank you for correcting me. Not 2023. Correct. Jeff is correct. So. Yeah. Thank you, Bruce. So we're past that now. We're down to a more optimal level on arcade inventory and overall inventory going into 2022 there. Yeah. So in 2023 arcades, we had $50 million worth of arcades, and we started January 1st, 2020. We bought another $20 million. And by the time it was December 31st of 2023, the calendar year, we were down to $17 million in arcades. So we are very happy where we're at right now. We do not have that supply chain risk that we had. We're not placing big orders and big bets like we did in the past. It's now just a normal-sized business that we can handle and operate. And I think our Q4 results pretty much tell the whole results. We definitely turned things around compared to the same Q4 the year before. Got it. Thank you again, Bruce and Jeff. Really appreciate it. All the best. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Matt Koranda with Roth MKM. Please proceed with your question. Hey, guys. This is Mike Zabran on for Matt. I guess noticed that customer direct fulfillment revs were about 800 basis points higher year-over-year. So now we're at 45% of sales. Maybe just discuss the outlook for customer direct fulfillment revenue mix in the second half of the year and how should we think about how that mix will affect the P&L? Well, yeah, I'll take this one. This is Jeff. We're very happy with it moving up there in the 45%. We do see that continuing going forward. One of the things that is really kind of one of our big winning formulas is the way our business is designed is that we have all the entertainment products. We stock a wide selection of entertainment products. And the opportunity there, including all the entertainment products, the opportunity is we focus on having all of those products available for sale on all the major retailers' websites. So from Walmart to Target to Best Buy, Barnes & Noble, Wayfair. We're on Home Depot, obviously on Amazon as well, and so forth. So as we bring in new products, those products are available on those sites. And I'll give you a quick little example where our winning formula there is. We do all the vinyl that is sold at the stores in Walmart. At the store level, you have a curated section of about 700 titles in that store. Well, they also have more vinyl available at Walmart.com. When you go to Walmart.com, we have over 30,000 unique vinyl titles in stock. Those titles are all up on Walmart.com. Consumers can go and order that title. It comes directly right away to our warehouse. Same day, we're shipping that out to the consumer with Walmart's name on it and so forth. A big part of our winning formula there is we're this fulfillment house for all the entertainment products on all the major retailers. The last point is they love it because they have no inventory risk. There's no inventory on hand for them. They just complete the sale. It gets shipped out. It's incremental sales for them, incremental profitability. It's a definite winning formula, and we're continuing to focus a lot of our energy and attention to expanding our e-commerce capability and customers there. This is Bruce. I think your question, though, is how is it going to affect us in the fourth quarters? We definitely see that percentage should hold up, and it's not hurting us in any way there. Whether we ship one or two units to every consumer or we ship a box into retail, we price it accordingly so we maintain the same margins we always have because we have a business to run. It's not a charity. Correct. It's a profitable business on the consumer direct. Got it. Okay. We expect that mix to continue to climb going forward. Is that the right way to think about it? I don't think you could say it always keeps growing. I don't know if it will grow as fast as it did this year-over-year, but it's definitely growing and will continue to expand. Got it. Okay. That makes sense. I mean, on arcades, our business has shifted more to shipping direct to consumer than shipping to brick and mortar. And so those are high-dollar ranks. So that has a weighting effect to some degree. And it's better for everybody involved to not try and ship it into brick and mortar retail. There's freight costs to get it into retail, and then you got to turn around. And if they're going to ship it to the consumer, it's better to just go from one central point, is the way we have it set up now. It's all on the West Coast. It comes in. We don't have to schlep it across the country to redistribute it again. So I think we've got it all dialed in now. It's the most efficient it can be for the retailer and for us. One last thing. One thing that didn't really get into the Q4 numbers is we took over all the music and video direct-to-consumer business for Target.com, and that really went live mid-December. It really didn't click into those numbers for this last quarter. That's a big increase for us. They're doing a lot of vinyl, and they're doing a lot of K-pop on the music side as well as new releases in all the movies and TV shows. Taylor Swift is hotter than a pistol, and Target has really leaned in heavily on Taylor Swift. And there will be a big Target exclusive for Taylor Swift when her new album comes out that we all heard announced at the Grammys. Okay. Makes sense. Thanks for the explanation. One more from me. The gross margin improvement in TQ is pretty large. I think we're at 11% versus around 4.7% last year. Maybe just specify the drivers of the improvement. So I guess how much was mix improvement and shedding lower margin revenues versus cost cutting? Well, I think on the gross margin, the bulk of the gross margin improvement is that we didn't have the big write-offs and adjustments that really reduced it in 2022. But we have seen margin improvements in some of our vinyl sales, and we've also seen it definitely in our arcade sales. So we were really, I would say, abnormally low in 2022 with the 4% range gross margin. That was not in our historical history there. So the change is kind of an anomaly. So we're more in the consistent range that we're in now in this last quarter going forward. We won't see it go back to the 4% is another way to say it. Right. Okay. That makes sense. That's all from me, guys. Thanks. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Douglas Hobbs with Hobbs Family Office. Please proceed with your question. Hey, Bruce. Hey, Jeff. Excellent quarter. Very impressive. It seems Alliance is utilizing software and technology much better these days. Can you expound on any cost savings, compliance, and controls improvements? I can take that, Jeff. So Jeff mentioned that we installed an AutoStore. I call that a Rubik's cube of automated storage retrieval system. We put that in our Kentucky facility. We're on our 13th month now of actually using that new piece of equipment. And basically, you have all these totes, and think of a tote as a shelf location. And instead of the picker walking normally, a picker, when they pick an order, they walk from different shelf locations around our warehouse. And now with this system there, the processor of pickers stands in one location, and all the shelf locations are brought to the picker. And that way, it cuts down the travel time. And even with all our other efficiencies and coming up with very efficient pick paths, the best we could do is right around 120 shelf presentations in an hour. And we've been able to improve that to be above 300 shelf presentations in an hour. And the main reason is that every 10 seconds, the person standing at the processing station, the tote gets delivered to them or the shelf, and then they tell them how many they need out of that shelf location. And they pull the quantity and then say, "Okay." And then the next shelf presentation gets presented to them, and they do the next one. We went from 41 people walking around, pulling vinyl orders in the warehouse down to seven. And we get the same benefits and efficiency on the put-away side. When we receive the product, we have to go find an empty shelf location to put it away and store it and tell the system how many we put in that location so that we can know where to find it when we need to pick it for an order. Well, now nobody has to walk to the warehouse and find an empty shelf location. An empty shelf comes to the receiver where they do the receiving end of the AutoStore system there. And now you just tell the system how many you put in there and scan the barcode, and boom, off it gets put away. And once it's received right there, it's available for picking right away. So using AutoStore for our vinyl, which was one of our most expensive areas as far as picking goes, it's like three times the cost of picking a vinyl LP versus a CD or DVD. And we've been able to cut those costs. AutoStore has given us savings of right around $3 million-$3.5 million a year. We do have a lease on it. It's a 4-year lease. It was a $10 million original purchase price there. But we're looking to have a payback in 3.5 years. So we're quite happy with those types of things that we're doing. Oh, that's great. Thank you. Thank you. There are no more dial-in questions. We will now take questions from the webcast. Our first webcast question asks, Are you looking or working on any new acquisitions currently? Yeah. I'll take that one. We are always working and looking at new acquisitions. We did our last big acquisition back in September of 2020, right in the middle of COVID. Looking back on it, it was kind of crazy to complete a big acquisition at that time. As we go forward, now that we have our new bank line of credit in place and we've stabilized with our inventory and our operations and so forth, we're definitely back looking at acquisition opportunities here in 2024. One of the things that is an opportunity for us is our diversity of products that we sell and the focus on everything entertainment gives us really a pretty wide net of different businesses that can really kind of really complement what we're doing at Alliance. There's kind of two different types of acquisitions that we look at, one of which is something that might be a competitor to us in one of the categories or has a lot of similar products. Those consolidation opportunities are very accretive to value for us as we can acquire them and have a lot of consolidation cost savings. Then we also are looking at opportunities where companies have other entertainment products that we don't currently sell. Those are very valuable for us as well because they may have a different set of customers that they sell to, and we have our vast selection that we can sell to their customers. Then additionally, their product can also come in and flow into our vast group of retailers that we sell to. There's quite a bit of opportunity there within the entertainment industry. The last point I guess I'd mention is the valuation on some businesses has definitely come down since 2-3 years ago. We definitely see some potential opportunities for some good acquisitions that would really be accretive to value in the company. Our next webcast question asks, on the closing of your Minnesota facility, what impact will that have on your profitability? Yeah. I'll take that one as well. I just mentioned that we acquired COKeM in September of 2020. They had a large facility in the Minneapolis neighborhood there, and the lease on that major facility expires in May of 2024. And so as we progressed through the last couple of years, we've enjoyed the benefits and the work that that facility has produced. But at the end of the day, that facility is not optimal for e-commerce fulfillment, which we were just speaking about earlier. That location in the U.S. is not the most optimal location for quick e-commerce delivery. And so we decided to close that warehouse and consolidate that product into our Kentucky facility. Bruce also had mentioned that the arcades are staying on the West Coast. So we have all of our arcade business that was previously going to Minnesota that is staying on the West Coast and a facility there. As far as cost savings, it's pretty significant, not only the simple things like the rent and taxes and utilities and so forth, but that was also running on a different computer system, a Nordic system. So we've been maintaining two computer systems. And being able to retire their legacy system not only saves costs for employees and training and so forth, but also with accounting and all sorts of other functions, as well as it reduces our compliance costs with respect to everything as being a public company. So that's a big savings as well there. The one last part I wanted to mention is it was primarily stocking all video game product, and we would also stock video game product in Kentucky warehouse. So for instance, having the new Mario Brothers video game, we would have that available in stock in both facilities. By having that product just in the Kentucky facility, we will overall have less inventory on hand, which will also help our inventory turns and will help to reduce our debt a little bit as well. So there's a lot of different components that are saving there. We're going to see the bulk of all those benefits hit us in fiscal 2025. Our last question asks, on slide 16, I noticed that distribution and fulfillment expenses as a percentage of sales improved from 5.42% down to 4.12%. What is driving those improvements that adds up to the reduction of $5.2 million? I think we covered that in the first question already. But Jeff, I believe you did that. Yeah. I think Ashok had most of that question there that was answered. Yes. Yes. He did. But basically, to answer the question there, primarily was that our operation, we were able to get more efficiency in. We've mentioned how we've been cutting costs, moving our arcades on the West Coast. We also introduced AutoStore where I talked about all the savings that we're getting as far as our picking time, as far as processing time. So those are what's contributing to all those factors. And it shouldn't continue to improve, as Jeff just talked about, with our closing of the facility in Minneapolis. There are no further questions. I would like to turn the call back over to Mr. Ogilvie for his closing remarks. Thank you, operator.
