With that, I'm pleased to now turn the call over to Farooq Kathwari. Thank you, Matt, and thank you all for participating in our earnings call. While fiscal 2021 began with heightened levels of uncertainty, we were able to have strong performance for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. After Corey provides a brief overview of the financial results, I will discuss our plans to grow sales, profits, and cash. We believe we have a great opportunity to continue our growth and increase sales profitability and cash flow, and continue the strong returns to our stockholders. Corey? Thank you, Farooq. Our fiscal year ended June 30th, was challenging, yet we performed well. Our retail segment written order demand continued to accelerate during the fourth quarter, achieving 105% growth compared to the prior year fourth quarter, and 40.2% growth compared to the fiscal 2019 fourth quarter. We are pleased that our July retail written orders are holding positive to the prior year's high order demand when our retail was reopening, and are also positive to our strong July 2019 order demand. Wholesale segment written orders increased 82.3%. Excluding GSA and other government orders, wholesale segment orders grew 87%. Consolidated net sales for the fourth quarter were $178.3 million, a 94.7% increase to the prior year quarter. Our retail sales increased 113% for the quarter. Wholesale sales increased 106.2%. Our international sales increased 4.1%, while contract sales had a 7.1% decrease. Contract order demand has recently started to rebound, especially for our government GSA contract. Total contract order demand increased 49.1% during the fourth quarter, and we expect this trend to positively impact wholesale net sales in the upcoming quarters as we produce and ship these orders. At the end of the fiscal fourth quarter, both our retail and wholesale segments had high order backlogs that we expect to get caught up during fiscal 2022. Our GAAP gross margin for the quarter was 58.7%, while our adjusted gross margin increased to 58.8%. The growth in consolidated gross margin was due to a shift in the retail to wholesale sales mix, improved operating leverage within our manufacturing due to higher production levels, and benefits from our optimization of manufacturing and logistic initiatives over the past years. Retail sales grew to 84.5% of consolidated sales, compared with 77.2% a year ago, which positively impacted our consolidated gross margin. We expect this higher percentage of retail sales to consolidated sales mix to continue in the near term as a result of the strong retail written order performance and related high retail order backlogs. Operating margin was 13.5%. Adjusted operating margin, which excludes the impact of pre-tax charges from restructuring initiatives, asset impairments, and other corporate actions, increased to 14.1%, primarily due to net sales growth, the improvement in gross margin, and controlling costs by leveraging cost reductions from measures taken as part of our previously announced COVID-19 action plan. Adjusted operating expenses were $7.2 million, or 8.2% less than they were in fiscal 2019 fourth quarter. Adjusted operating expenses for the quarter were lower despite the strong sales growth due to reductions in certain selling expenses, including advertising costs and reduced G&A compensation expense as we are operating more efficiently with less headcount in our retail segment and at the corporate level than in the prior year period. Advertising costs were approximately 2% of net sales in the fourth quarter, compared to our historical run rate of 4%. We expect advertising costs to return to the 3%- 4% range in fiscal 2022. Our GAAP earnings per share for the quarter was $0.71 compared to $0.48 loss per share in the prior year quarter. Fourth quarter adjusted diluted EPS increased to $0.74, compared with a loss per share of $0.15. For the full fiscal year, adjusted EPS of $2.37 compared to $0.52 in fiscal 2020, and compared to $1.56 for fiscal 2019. As of June 30th, our balance sheet remains strong, with cash on hand of $105 million and no outstanding borrowings. Inventory sequentially increased 6.1% from our third quarter, reflecting our focus on increasing production and stock levels to service our backlogs. Customer deposits from written orders for our retail segment more than doubled during fiscal 2021 and totaled $130.6 million at June 30th. Strong retail order growth of 47.7% outpaced net delivered sales growth of 19.9% and led to high customer deposits. During the fourth quarter, we generated $27.8 million of cash from operating activities. For the full fiscal year, we generated $129.9 million. For fiscal 2022, we expect capital expenditures to range between $16 million and $18 million as we re-accelerate our spend to further invest in technology, increase manufacturing capacity, and open new or relocated design centers, while also continuing improving all our design centers' projection. We paid a total of $31.7 million in regular and special dividends during the quarter. For the full fiscal 2021, we returned $43.3 million to shareholders in regular and special cash dividends. We are also pleased to announce on August 3rd, that our board of directors declared a $0.75 special cash dividend, along with a $0.25 regular cash dividend, both payable on August 31st to shareholders of record on August 17th. We intend to continue with the shortened time period between the regular dividend declaration date and the payment date, as we've done for the past two dividends. With that, I'll turn the call back over to Farooq. Thank you, Corey. We are uniquely positioned as a vertically integrated enterprise, from developing relevant offerings, making about 75% of the products in our North American workshops, focusing on interior design services, increasingly combined with technology and a strong logistics network, providing in-home, what we call white glove service to our clients. We continue to generate strong cash flow and provide very strong cash dividends to our shareholders. As many of you know, I was involved in taking our company public in 1993 at a share price adjusted for stock splits and dividends of $3.51. Since then, we have continued to generate strong cash flow, paying $526 million in dividends, paying off $585 million of debt, and repurchasing $625 million of our stock. We also invested in our enterprise with capital expenditures and acquisitions of $839 million, strengthening our manufacturing, retail, logistics, and technology. For the past 10 years, since June 30, 2011, our adjusted share price increased from $14.76 to $27.60 on June 30, 2021. We used about $100 million of cash to repurchase our shares, paid cash dividends of $233 million, and invested $183 million in capital expenditures and acquisitions. The reason I'm saying all of this is that our focus is to continue to manage our business to provide strong returns to our shareholders. The main areas of focus for us in fiscal 2022 and beyond are continued growth in sales, profitability, and cash generation. For your information, we increased our July written orders at retail by 6% over a very strong July last year. Our wholesale written orders were up 13% in July year-over-year, and up 16% over two years ago due to strong orders from U.S. government contract business, as Corey just mentioned. Our second objective is a focus on supply chain. Our backlogs are exceedingly high and need to be delivered. While we are better positioned, making 75% of our products in our workshops in North America, we have been impacted by raw material shortages. The 25% of products coming from overseas have been impacted by COVID-19 in some countries and increases in transportation costs. Due to major investments in our North American manufacturing and logistics, we are, well, I would say, better positioned for growth. Third area is that we are actively managing the Delta variant in North America and keeping close watch internationally. To date, it has not been a major negative. Number four, as reported, we had strong fourth quarter adjusted gross margin of 58.8%, and again, it also reflected the greater percentage of retail business to total business, and our objective is to maintain around 58% gross margin. Finally, we believe that we are well-positioned in our product offerings and have plans to introduce very strong new products by early 2022. At this stage, we are pleased to answer any questions. Thank you. We'll now be conducting a question- and- answer session. If you'd like to be placed in the question queue, 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'd like to remove your question from the queue. For participants using speaker equipment, it may be necessary to pick up your handset before pressing star one. One moment, please while we poll for questions. Our first question is coming from Bradley Thomas from KeyBanc Capital Markets. Your line is now live. Yeah. Hello, Bradley. How are you? Hi, good afternoon, Farooq and Corey. This is Andrew on for Brad. Thanks for taking our questions here. Yeah. I wanted to start by talking about these raw material delays. You gave some helpful detail on the state of your supply chain, but could you talk more specifically on the raw material delays you're facing, including which particular raw materials you're seeing the most delays from? How has that situation evolved into July and August? Yes. The raw materials, as we are in both upholstery business, in manufacturing, and wood products or case goods. As it relates to upholstery, the raw material issues like, you've heard, of course, from the industry, have related, for instance, to foam and springs, things of that nature. We have, of course, operations also in Mexico, which has been less impacted than the one in the U.S. As we know, a lot of this happened because of the problems in the Texas area, where a lot of these foam factories are. It's improving. It's still not where it needs to be, we see gradual improvement every week. That is really on the upholstery side. In our wood products, there has not been a major issue. We had initially some issues on the lumber procurement, that has sort of caught up. I think it is more a question about catching up to high orders. Great. Thank you. It's great to see the strong gross margins this quarter, despite the higher product and freight costs you're seeing. Could you talk about how these rising costs may impact the next few quarters? How are you thinking about ways to mitigate those costs? I know you've talked about price increases and changes to your discount or promotional strategy in the past, but could you talk about how you're thinking about it as we go into the next few quarters here? Yeah, Andrew, as I said, we would also keep in mind this having about a 58% gross margin. It reflected, of course, improvements in our sales efficiencies, but it also reflected a higher percentage of retail to total sales. As we move forward, as I think the gross margins reflect what our percentage of business is, the wholesale versus retail, so that will be having some impact. That also doesn't necessarily mean that much of an impact on the operating margins. In operating margins, if, for instance, we have a higher business overall from our, let's say, the contract business, it's possible that our gross margin could be slightly lower, but operating margins will be higher. That's why I said you got to keep in mind, approximately close to 58% is a good goal. Okay. That's helpful. Shifting to the revenue outlook. Given continued strength in your written order trends, your rising capacity on top of a very large backlog, I wanted to try to help connect the dots and try to think about what's possible from a financial perspective in the quarters ahead. I know that over the last three quarters, you've done just shy of about $180 million in revenue on a per quarter basis. From a capacity perspective, do you think now that these raw material delays are moderating on a week-by-week basis, do you think you're in a position to break above that $180 million revenue level in the next quarter or in the next few quarters ahead? Yeah, Andrew, I think obviously that is an opportunity, it's a possibility. I would say that, if you go up to say, again, we have to be mindful about still the issues about raw material and other factors. I think if you go up another $5 million or $7 million, $8 million, that would be a good number to use. Okay, great. That's helpful. That's all for me. Thank you. All right, Andrew. Thanks. Thank you. Next question today is coming from Cristina Fernández from Telsey Advisory Group. Your line is now live. Yeah. Hello, Cristina. Hi. Thank you. Good afternoon. Farooq and Corey, a couple of questions following up on the previous one. I wanted to see if you can update us on what are the time frames now from customer order to delivery? Have those compressed over the past couple of months? If you've been able to increase capacity, or are they still pretty meaningfully above the pre-COVID time frame? No, Cristina, they're still much above the pre-COVID-19 time period. As you know, in our case, 75% of our products that are made in North America, most of them are custom. That's a big difference between us and many others who purchase inventory, and then their time frame is average between what they sell out-of-stock and perhaps what is custom. In our case, practically everything is custom. That's why our time frames are impacted. It will come down, but it's coming down slowly. On the other hand, it has given us an opportunity to continue to operate more efficiently, increase sales, and the other good news is that we don't have a lot of excess inventory to sell. Okay. That's helpful. Another question we had was, can you talk about what you're seeing in traffic at your interior design centers? It seems like trends are normalizing. Obviously, July orders were still above last year, but how did the quarter progress? What do you expect to see here over the next couple of months? Yeah, Cristina, one of the important factors, of course, we were fortunate that in the last four, five years, we invested in technology like 3D, virtual reality. If we had not done it, I do not know how our custom business would have fared. If we had a lot of inventory and stock, then people see it and buy it, but that's not what we had. Our designers had to work with clients in physically and virtually. It's amazing that I get every week, actually yesterday, about at least 50 events where they involved a customer. I'm myself surprised and pleased to see how much of the business is being done with a combination of personal service and technology. That's the difference between our business and those that are selling inventory out of stock or on the floor. We don't have much of that. As we continue to build our business, we have less interior designers, but more qualified interior designers. We are going to continue to invest in technology, in giving them the tools to be able to use their personal service and technology. We will continue to see that. That is going to be a tremendously important factor, and I see an advantage for us. The last one I had, can you talk about marketing? How are you thinking about marketing spend this upcoming year? Also, as you've seen new customers over the past few quarters, are you doing anything differently to try to retain those customers and bring them back over the next year or two? Thanks. Yeah. Cristina, that's an important factor. Of course, as Corey mentioned, we did reduce our overall advertising spend last quarter. A lot of it was due to the fact that we had tremendous amount of people coming in. Didn't have to spend. That was one factor. Other factor is we changed the means of where we advertise now. We are using a lot more digital advertising compared to print, and even to some degree, television. Our cost is lower, but our reach is greater. Having said this, if the 2% is somewhat on the lower side, we will just, for budgeting purposes, will take it between 3%-4%, but I'll try to continue to keep on monitoring it so that we use less money, but more effectively. Our advertising mediums are changing, which is very important. We are reaching more people, actually, by spending 2% on advertising than we did when we did spend 4%. For budgeting purposes, I think anywhere around 3%, 4% would be a good thing to use. Thank you. That's all I got for now. Thanks. All right, Cristina. Thanks. Thank you. As there are no more questions in the queue, I'll turn the floor back over to Farooq for any further closing comments. Well, thank you very much. As I said, we are very pleased with the progress we have made, but we have a lot of work ahead of us. We've got to make sure that we continue to serve our customers. We've got very high backlogs, so that's a lot of focus that we have. Thanks very much to everybody, and look forward to talking to you soon. Thank you. That does conclude today's teleconference and webcast. You may disconnect your line at this time, and have a wonderful day. We thank you for your participation today. All right. Thanks very much. Take care.
