The following is excerpted from the question-and-answer section of the transcript.

Question: Mark Smith - Lake Street Capital Markets, LLC - Analyst : First question for me. Just wanted to dig in a little bit more on new product mix. Brian, you talked a lot about your innovation and some of the products. I'm curious if you know here in Q4, if there's any standout new products or even segments that seem to be maybe doing better than others?

Question: Mark Smith - Lake Street Capital Markets, LLC - Analyst : Okay. I did want to ask about MEAT! in the retail. I don't know if you can quantify anything or talk about kind of how that process has gone. You know, any increase or lift that you've seen because of that? And then any sneak peek, you can give us at Grilla in the plan and rolling that out to retailers, will that follow kind of a similar pattern?

Question: Mark Smith - Lake Street Capital Markets, LLC - Analyst : And then for all of your brands throughout kind of traditional retail, I'm curious just the growth that we saw there, if you can give any more breakdown of kind of where that came from, maybe how much of a lift you got from further launches into Canada, how much of that maybe came from just being better stocked and having better inventory and maybe how you feel about your shelf space and your retail partners and how that relationships are?

Question: Mark Smith - Lake Street Capital Markets, LLC - Analyst : I think the last one for me is kind of two-part here. And any updates on your thoughts on M&A market, what you're seeing out there and kind of how maybe hungry you guys are currently for M&A deals? And then any additional thoughts on use of capital? I know, Andy, you talked a little bit about the factory outlet and some things that you'll spend on, but just kind of your use of capital this year and kind of how you see that playing out?

Question: Mark Smith - Lake Street Capital Markets, LLC - Analyst : Maybe I'll sneak in one more. Just confirm kind of on your guidance kind of your outlook here in fiscal '25, it sounds like within shooting sports that you guys aren't expecting or have anything built in for kind of a ramp here as we get closer to the election and obviously you don't sell firearms or ammunition, but is that a fair statement that you guys are not expecting any significant ramp in demand for those products as we enter and get closer to the election?

Question: Mark Smith - Lake Street Capital Markets, LLC - Analyst : Perfect. Very helpful, guys. Thank you.
