Thanks, Jeff. Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for joining us today to discuss Jazz's first quarter 2025 results. I'll start on slide five. JAS started the year with strong momentum following a productive 2024, and we're pleased with the meaningful progress we've made across the business in the first quarter of 2025. Our focus on execution and operational excellence resulted in solid commercial performance led by Epidiolex and ZyWave, and significant progress across our R&D pipeline. We submitted a supplemental new drug application, or SNDA, to expand Zepzelka into first-line maintenance in extensive stage small cell lung cancer and received a positive CHMP opinion recommending the marketing authorization for Zanidatamab and advanced HER2-positive biliary tract cancer, or BTC, in the European Union. In addition, the acquisition of Chimerix has further strengthened our presence in rare oncology. On the commercial front, we generated $898 million in total revenues across our portfolio. Our neuroscience portfolio had a strong start to the year, with ZyWave growing 9% year over year, remaining the number one branded treatment for narcolepsy as measured by revenue, and the only therapy approved to treat idiopathic hypersomnia, or IH. We saw strong epidiolex demand as revenues increased 10% year over year, and we remain confident in its blockbuster potential. While we experience near-term headwinds with certain oncology products, our oncology portfolio is poised for growth with three potential regulatory approvals in the coming months, including Dordaviprone, Zepzelka expansion into first-line maintenance therapy in the U.S., and Xanidatamab advanced BTC in Europe. Moving to R&D, we're advancing promising opportunities in our pipeline. The Horizon GEA01 Phase III trial evaluating Xanidatamab in first-line gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma, or GEA, remains on track to read out in the second half of this year. We continue to progress other key Xanidatamab clinical trials, including the Phase III Empower BC303 trial in breast cancer. We're looking forward to sharing important data on Zepzelka, Xanidatamab, and Dordavacrone at ASCO in June. We added Dordaviprone to our pipelines through the Chimerix acquisition, which closed in April, enhancing our presence in rare oncology and bringing a near-term commercial opportunity to help patients with limited treatment options. Given its patent protection into 2037 with possible extensions and the potential for expanded use in the frontline setting, we view Dordaviprone as a meaningful and durable revenue opportunity for Jazz. We are well positioned with respect to the impact of potential tariffs and have maintained financial flexibility supported by our strong balance sheet and cash flow. We remain confident in our top line revenue guidance and have updated our financial guidance to include the recent Chimerix acquisition and litigation settlement charges. I'll now turn the call over to Renee to discuss our commercial performance, after which Rob will cover our R&D pipeline. Bill will then provide a financial overview and discuss our updated guidance. And after that, we will open the call to Q&A. Renee?
