Anika Therapeutics Inc.

Thank you. Thank you. We'll be right back.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the NECA's first quarter earnings conference call. I will now turn the call over to Mr. Matt Hall, Executive Director, Corporate Development and Investor Relations. Please go ahead.

Good morning, and thank you for joining us for Anika's first quarter 2026 conference call and webcast. I'm Matt Hall, Anika's Executive Director of Corporate Development and Investor Relations. Our earnings press release was issued earlier this morning and is available on our Investor Relations website located at www.anika.com, as are the supplementary PowerPoint slides that will be used for the discussion today. With me on the call today are Steve Griffin, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Ian McLeod, Senior Vice President, Chief Accounting Officer, and Treasurer. They will present our first quarter 2026 financial results and business highlights. Please take a moment and open the slide presentation and refer to slide two. Before we begin, please understand that certain statements made during the call today constitute forward-looking statements as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements are based on our current beliefs and expectations and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties. The company's actual results could differ materially from any anticipated future results, performance, or achievements. We make no obligation to update these statements should future financial data or events occur that differ from the forward-looking statements presented today. Please also see our most recent SEC filings for more information about risk factors that could affect our performance. In addition, during the call, we may refer to several adjusted or non-GAAP financial measures, which may include adjusted gross margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income from continuing operations, and adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations, which are used in addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP financial measures. We believe that non-GAAP measures provide an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations and performance. But when considered with GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of GAAP measures, They provide an even more complete understanding of our business. A reconciliation of these adjusted non-GAAP financial results to the most comparable GAAP measures are available at the end of the presentation slide deck and our first quarter 2026 press release. With that context, I'll turn the call over to our president and CEO, Steve Griffin, to walk through our performance and discuss our priorities as we move forward. Steve?
