Ken Reale Well, thank you, Carmen. and welcome everyone to the BioVentus fourth quarter 2020 earnings conference call, which also marks our first quarterly earnings call as a public company. I'm joined on the call today by Greg Anglum, our chief financial officer. Let me start with a brief agenda of what we will cover during our prepared remarks. We will start with an introduction to our company and our business. I will then provide a high-level overview of our financial performance for the fourth quarter and full year 2020, as well as some thoughts on why BioVentus is well positioned for long-term growth based on our foundational business and strategy. After my opening remarks, Greg will provide you with a more in-depth review of our financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2020 and our financial guidance for full year 2021, which we introduced in our press release this afternoon. And then we will open the call for your questions. As this is BioVentis' first quarterly earnings call as a public company, we thought it would be helpful to spend a few minutes describing our company's history and our business. BioVentis is a global medical device company focused on developing and commercializing clinically differentiated, cost-efficient, and minimally invasive treatments that engage and enhance the body's natural healing process. BioVentus was formed in May 2012 as a spin-out of Smith & Nephew's biologic and clinical therapies business, where it was largely an autonomously run division. The spin-out, over eight years ago, was funded by five growth investors, the largest of which was Essex Woodlands, who together owned 51% of BioVentus, with Smith & Nephew owning 49% of the newly formed company. At the time of the spin-out, the business was comprised of profitable products providing minimally invasive treatments to promote active healing in patients with osteoarthritis and fractures. with $227 million in revenue and just over $30 million of EBITDA. In the over eight years since that spin out, we have expanded our portfolio around less invasive active healing products through a combination of market access, organic growth, acquisitions, and new licensing deals. We increased our revenue at a mid single digit CAGR over this period to more than $321 million in 2020. We have significantly increased the profitability profile of the business over this period, generating more than $72 million in adjusted EBITDA in 2020 compared to $30 million in 2012, representing a CAGR of 12% and an improvement in adjusted EBITDA margin from 15% to nearly 23% over this period. We believe the company stands at a key inflection point in its history, having grown significantly since the spin-out in 2012, creating a foundation across many orthopedic specialties. We believe we are poised to drive sustainable, double-digit growth with an achievable goal of doubling the size of the business over the next five years. Today, BioVentus has more than 700 employees worldwide, many of whom are working at our headquarters in Durham, North Carolina, or at our office and manufacturing facilities in Memphis, Tennessee. We also have team members based at one of our international facilities in Amsterdam and Toronto. Our products are marketed in the United States and 37 international countries. Sales to U.S. customers represented more than 90% of our total sales in 2020. And our largest commercial markets outside the U.S. include Canada, Europe, and Asia Pacific. Our products are most often used to delay or replace the need for an elective surgical procedure. and they are focused on reaching patients early on in their treatment paradigm. Approximately 81% of our $321.2 million of 2020 revenues were associated with non-surgical procedures. Our products are widely reimbursed by both public and private insurers and are sold in the physician offices or clinic and ambulatory surgical centers and in the hospital setting. BioVentis' mission is to make a difference by helping patients resume and enjoy living active lives. We aim to achieve this mission by offering a portfolio of non-invasive medical device and biologic products that we believe play a critical role in supporting the body's own healing mechanisms or eliminating the pain caused by orthopedic conditions. In some cases, our medical devices can reduce the morbidity of surgical procedures. We have direct commercial operations in five countries, and we believe we have one of the largest sales organizations within the three verticals in which we operate. Our direct sales organization is comprised of 305 sales reps, including 45 international direct representatives and our team of 20 market access representatives who work with our sales team to provide access, account access, through IDNs, GPOs, and payer contracting. We also have over 170 independent sales agency partnerships in the United States along with 15 regional sales managers that support our distribution network. We have distribution partners in 37 international markets. This expansive direct sales and distribution channel provides us with broad and differentiated customer reach and allows us to serve physicians spanning the orthopedic continuum, including sports medicine, total joint reconstruction, hand and upper extremities, foot and ankle, podiatric surgery, trauma, spine, neurosurgery, and physical medicine or physiatrists. This broad commercial reach across our established orthopedic customer base is a key strength of the company. We are focused on leveraging this significant customer base and the reach of our commercial organization to continue to grow the company by expanding our market share and product portfolio. Our existing portfolio of products is grouped into three verticals based on clinical use. osteoarthritis joint pain and joint preservation, minimally invasive fracture treatment, and bone graft substitutes. These products address an estimated $6 billion market opportunity with attractive growth characteristics from multiple industry tailwinds, including an aging population, increased participation in sports and active lifestyles, and rising obesity rates. Now let me share a little color on our differentiated products in each of our primary verticals, beginning with osteoarthritis or OA. We are the largest pure play orthopedics-focused company in the OA joint pain treatment and joint preservation market. We offer the only complete portfolio of HA, or hyaluronic acid, visco-supplementation therapies, including single, three, and five injection regimens for patients experiencing pain related to OA in the knee. We believe our complex portfolio of HA solutions gives physicians and patients the freedom of choice and appeals to the growing preference among providers to interact with a single vendor to access a complete portfolio of care. Our HA products are all FDA approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration through pre-market approvals or PMAs. We sell our HA products through long-term exclusive license agreements. Our flagship HA product is Duralane, which is the fastest-growing single-injection product within the HA visco-supplementation market. We also offer a three-injection solution called Gelson 3, and a market leading five injection solution called Suparts FX. We have been the fastest growing HA participant over the last three years, driving our market share to number three by revenue in the US market. We expect sales of our OA products to be the largest contributor to our organic growth on a total dollar basis in 2021, led by our Duralane single injection product. Duralane is a truly special product with unique features and benefits that dramatically improve its residence time in the knee joint. The product also has a very strong safety profile with more than 15 years of evidence. We expect Duralane will continue to benefit from the expected growth tailwinds afforded to differentiated products early in their commercial life cycle. having just been launched in the U.S. in 2018 and the continued strong growth of the single injection HA market. Importantly, we have leveraged the company's strong free cash flow generation in recent years to invest in our product development pipeline as well as our M&A strategy in order to advance our long-term growth profile. The early evidence of our success in this strategy is clear, when you look at the pipeline of new products in our OA vertical. We have a product in development called Motus, an injectable placental tissue product for the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee. We are excited by the opportunity Motus gives us in terms of accessing patients earlier in the treatment paradigm in advance of HA, as we expect Motus to be used as a superior alternative to steroids. as it reduces inflammation and can potentially modify the impact of early stage arthritis. We have a dual path growth strategy over the medium term with MODIS. As we launched this product last September under the human tissue regulations into the cash pay market, and we received IND approval in Q4 of 2020, and recently started enrollment in our first clinical study for NEOA, to commence securing the requisite clinical evidence to support an eventual BLA submission. We are very excited by the potential growth opportunity that MODIS offers in the coming years. We believe it is a highly differentiated product that is complementary with our existing portfolio of OA solutions, and importantly, It gives us access to the $110 million U.S. amniotic tissue market for orthopedics, sports medicine, and spine applications, which is projected to grow at a 25% CAGR from 2019 through 2023. We also purchased the rights to acquire a product called Agilicy through our transaction with CardiHeal. The Agilisi technology is the only off-the-shelf aragonite or sea coral scaffold implant designed to address osteochondral defects in the knee. The product helps treat patients suffering from advanced OA, but comes before a total knee replacement, which offers the potential to add value not only to patients in delaying the surgical procedure, but also in the significant cost savings to hospitals and payers by delaying or avoiding the total knee replacement procedure. Agility was granted the breakthrough device designation by the FDA in Q4 of 2020 for the treatment of osteochondral knee joint surface lesions, which we believe is validation of the product's potential. We expect CAR2HEAL to complete its modular PMA submission in Q4 of 2021 which would put the Agilecy on track for approval in the second half of 2022. The Agilecy implant potentially unlocks applications for the millions of patients in the global knee cartilage repair market, which we estimate at over $1.3 billion. We are also excited by a product that expands our OA solution portfolio, but this time addressing the shoulder. specifically in the rotator cuff repair market. Pro-cuff is a bio-inductive collagen implant for regeneration of tendon tissue in the rotator cuff. This biologic shoulder repair product gives us access to the more than 530,000 rotator cuff injuries that occur in the U.S. each year, making this a key area of focus among sports medicine surgeons. We signed a license agreement with Harbor MedTech Thor Pro Cuff, and we expect 510K clearance in the second half of 2022. Our second vertical is minimally invasive fracture treatment. Our exogen system has made us the leader in bone stimulation for fracture healing. We are the only company to utilize advanced pulsed ultrasound technology for bone growth in delayed and non-union fractures in all fracture locations except spine, as well as in fresh fractures of the tibia and radius. Our exogen system offers significant advantages over electrical-based long bone stimulation systems, including a documented mechanism of action, shorter treatment times, and published clinical studies demonstrating superior non-union heal rates. Our Exogen system was the number one prescribed device in the long bone growth stimulation market in 2018, the latest period for which data is available. Exogen is also sold internationally under a CE mark for non-unions and fresh fractures and is the market leading bone healing treatment for long bones in Japan. We are also excited by the pipeline opportunities in our Exogen franchise. We are investing in our Exogen system to enhance the product's multi-year growth profile, specifically conducting IDE clinical studies of Exogen to expand the indications to larger market opportunities. We plan to use data from these studies to seek approval for expanded indications with respect to fresh fractures that have risk of going on to a surgical procedure or a nonunion. We submitted our first of three PMA supplements in December of 2020 and expect approval for brush fracture metatarsal applications in the second half of 2021. We also intend to leverage the clinical data from this program to support payer coverage in this area. Our third vertical is bone graft substitutes. We are the fastest-growing participant in the bone graft substitutes market. We offer a comprehensive, clinically proven, and cost-effective portfolio of bone graft substitutes to meet a broad range of patient needs and procedures. Our products are designed to improve spine fusion rates and avoid the cost and risks associated with autograft, commonly used in spinal fusion, and other orthopedic fusion and fracture surgeries. Our bone graft substitute products are agnostic to the brand of implants used and can be used in conjunction with any orthopedic fixation and spinal fusion implant. We market our bone graft substitute products primarily to orthopedic spine surgeons and neurosurgeons for use in the operating room in both the hospital and ASC settings. Our bone graft substitute products are sold by approximately 170 independent distributors in the United States, each with their own independent sales force, supported by our 15-member regionalized sales support team. Our bone graft substitute product portfolio includes seven commercialized products and include an allograft-derived bone graft with growth factors, a demineralized bone matrix, cancellous bone in different preparations, bioactive synthetics, a collagen ceramic matrix, and two bone marrow isolation systems. This product suite is led by OsteoAmp, which is an osteoinductive allograft that is minimally manipulated and offers many different formulations. Our bone graft substitute business is agnostic to spinal hardware and often a separate line item in hospital budgets. And we have been successful in whole hospital conversions to our bone graft substitute products, saving hospitals money spent on bone graft substitutes, especially compared to Medtronic's Infuse. We have a compelling new product pipeline in our bone graft substitute vertical. which we expect will enhance the vertical's organic growth profile in the coming years. We launched the CignaFuse bioactive strip in 2020 for posterolateral spinal fusions and expect to launch a flowable version of OsteoAmp in the second half of 2021, which gets us into the minimally invasive spinal fusion market, the fastest growing segment of the spine market. As with all three of our verticals, we are excited by the many potential M&A opportunities in the bone graft substitute vertical. Importantly, we are not interested in moving into the spinal implant area. Rather, our focus will remain on the many synergistic areas of the bone graft substitute market that we believe will help advance our market penetration in the future. Our portfolio of active healing products across our three verticals is supported by our significant body of clinical evidence. This is a key differentiator and creates a competitive barrier to entry given the time and investment required to amass the amount of published clinical data we have and is an asset that would take years for a competitor to try to replicate. Turning to a brief review of our fourth quarter and 2020 results. We were pleased to report fourth quarter net sales of $98.6 million, which represented growth of 1% year over year, which was a record setting quarterly revenue performance and made even stronger still in light of the continued challenges in our external environment as the recovery from the global pandemic continues. Importantly, our fourth quarter sales increased 15% on a quarter over quarter basis, which we believe is a better reflection of the improvement in the underlying trends in our business as we continue our steady recovery from the COVID related business disruption, the worst of which we experienced in the second quarter of 2020. While the environment remains challenging, We were encouraged by the growth results in the second half of 2020, where we grew our sales 3% year-over-year, and for 2020 overall, we had year-over-year growth in three out of four quarters, an achievement we are proud of. We were also pleased with the improving financial performance on a quarter-over-quarter basis as we reported higher non-GAAP gross margins, operating margins, and adjusted EBITDA margins compared to the third quarter of 2020. We generated more than $26 million of free cash flow in the fourth quarter of 2020 and generated nearly $78 million for the full year 2020 period, reflecting the strong financial profile of our business. Our robust free cash flow conversion is best in class. and has allowed us to make investments in our commercial channel, R&D, as well as M&A. And we expect to continue to leverage our free cash flow generation in the years to come. Finally, we are proud of the strong operating and financial performance we delivered in 2020. Despite the unprecedented challenges presented by the external environment, we believe this performance is a direct result of our results-oriented culture at BioVentus and the focus by our team on our mission to make a difference by helping patients resume and enjoy active lives. The substantial improvements in our execution and operating achievements that we delivered in 2020 have continued in 2021. We believe we have a thoughtful strategy to continue to drive growth and improve profitability going forward. In addition to the strong free cash flow generation we expect to use to execute our growth strategy, we are also encouraged by the significant improvement in our balance sheet and financial condition as a result of the capital raised from our IPO in February. We completed an initial public offering led by Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, and managed by Canaccord Genuity. As a result of this transaction, we began trading on the NASDAQ global market on February 11th under the ticker symbol BVS and raised net proceeds of $111 million to fuel our future longer-term strategic growth initiatives. We introduced financial guidance for 2021, which reflects revenue growth in the range of 12% to 16% year over year, fueled primarily by strong global growth in sales of our leading portfolio of PMA-approved therapies for OA joint pain, our portfolio of clinically efficacious and cost-effective bone graft solutions, and continuing to build on our minimally invasive fracture treatment franchise. Importantly, we look forward to potential acceleration in our multi-year growth profile, fueled by continued progress in our clinical product development and new product pipeline, and our pursuit of inorganic business development opportunities that are accretive to our long-term growth profile and leverage our significant customer presence across orthopedics, broaden our portfolio, and increase our global footprint. With that, let me turn the call over to Greg for a detailed review of our financial results in the fourth quarter and full year 2020 period, as well as a review of our 2021 guidance.

Thank you, Ken. Before I begin, I'd first like to highlight three items for analysts and investors to bear in mind during my prepared remarks this afternoon. First, to avoid confusion when evaluating our reported results, or when reviewing our historical financial statements and SEC filings. As indicated in our press release this afternoon and further detailed in our annual report and 10-K to be filed with the SEC, the historical results for the fourth quarter and full year 2020 periods presented are those of BioVentus LLC, the predecessor of BioVentus Inc. for financial reporting purposes. The financial results of BioVentus Inc. have not been included in this press release as it had no material assets or liabilities and no material business transactions or activities during the periods presented, specifically our fourth quarter and full year 2020 and 2019 periods. On February 16th, 2021, the company successfully closed our IPO of Common Stock. Accordingly, these historical results do not reflect what the results of operations of BioVentus, Inc., would have been had the IPO and related transactions occurred prior to such periods. For example, these historical results do not reflect the attribution of net income to non-controlling interest or the provision for corporate income taxes on the income attributable to BioVentus Inc. that the company expects to recognize in future periods. The financial statements also reflect BioVentus LLC's unit ownership structure as the Class A and Class B common shares were not issued until Q1 2021 when our IPO and the related transactions occurred. Second, for the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise noted, my commentary will focus on the company's GAAP results during the fourth quarter and full year 2020 periods. For all non-GAAP references, we have included full reconciliations from our GAAP-reported results to the related non-GAAP item in our press release this afternoon. Third, as Ken mentioned earlier, we report our net sales results by our major geographic regions, U.S. and international, and by our three primary verticals, OA joint pain treatment and joint preservation, minimally invasive fracture treatment, and bone graft substitutes. In the interest of brevity during my prepared remarks this afternoon, I'll refer to these three verticals by OA, MI, and BGS, respectively. Turning to a review of our fourth quarter financial results. Net sales increased $1.0 million or 1% year over year on both a reported and constant currency basis in the fourth quarter of 2020. The year over year change in net sales by geography was driven by a $2.8 million increase or 3% year over year in U.S. net sales and a $1.8 million decrease in international net sales. Fourth quarter net sales to international customers decreased 17% year-over-year on a reported basis and 19% on a constant currency basis. U.S. sales represented 91% of the total company net sales for the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to 89% of total company net sales last year. The year-over-year change in net sales by vertical for the fourth quarter of 2020 was driven by a $2.8 million increase or 17% year-over-year in global net sales of BGS products and a $0.4 million increase or 2% year-over-year in global net sales of minimally invasive fracture products offset partially by a $2.2 million decrease or 4% year-over-year decline in global net sales of OA products. Global OA, MI, and BGS sales represented approximately 53%, 28%, and 19% respectively of our total company net sales for the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to 56%, 27%, and 17% respectively last year. Finally, while it is not our practice to disclose product-specific revenue details, in the interest of transparency with the investment community, we are electing to provide additional color on the growth performance of our largest and fastest growing OA product, Duralane. Sales of Duralane products increased 9% year-over-year in the fourth quarter of 2020, driven primarily by 19% growth in the U.S. Gross profit was $73.5 million compared to $73.4 million last year, essentially flat year-over-year. Importantly, our cost of goods line item includes non-cash amortization expense of $5.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to $5.2 million last year. Excluding non-cash amortization expense, our non-GAAP gross margin was 80% compared to 81% for the fourth quarter of 2019, down 100 basis points year over year, driven primarily by the mix of revenue by geography and by vertical as compared to the prior year period. Total operating expense was $67.6 million compared to $59.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, an increase of $7.8 million, or 13% year-over-year. The change in total operating expense year-over-year was driven by a $7.5 million increase, or 14% year-over-year, in SG&A expense and a $0.6 million increase in restructuring expenses, offset partially by a $0.3 million decrease in RMD expense compared to the prior year period. Keep in mind that our GAAP operating expense includes a non-cash depreciation and amortization expense, of which approximately $1.3 million is non-cash intangible amortization expense. We exclude non-cash amortization expenses from both our non-GAAP cost of goods and our non-GAAP operating expense in the non-GAAP reconciliation tables detailed in our press release this afternoon. We also have identified certain items that impacted our fourth quarter operating expenses, and given the non-operating nature of these items, we have excluded them in our non-GAAP reconciliation to better reflect the underlying operating expense profile of the company. Specifically, in addition to the aforementioned non-cash amortization expense and restructuring expenses, fourth quarter GAAP OPEX included approximately $4.2 million of non-operating expenses, $1.9 million of which was driven by non-recurring settlement and legal costs. Excluding these items, our non-GAAP operating expense was $61.5 million compared to $57.7 million, up $3.8 million, or 7% year over year. Operating income was $5.9 million compared to $13.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, a decrease of $7.8 million or 57% year over year. Non-GAAP operating income was $17 million compared to $21 million, down $4 million or 19% year over year. Non-GAAP operating margin was 17.3% of net sales compared to 21.5% of net sales for the fourth quarter of 2019. Total other expense was $2.8 million, compared to $7.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, a decrease of $4.7 million, or 63% year-over-year, primarily due to decreased debt interest resulting from refinancing our debt in December 2019, as well as the decline in interest rates. GAAP net income from continuing operations was $2.3 million above the high end of our preliminary range we provided in our S-1 filing in early February. GAAP net income attributable to common unit holders was $0.5 million compared to $2.5 million last year. Note, net income attributable to common unit holders is based on BioVentis LLC's capital structure as a private company during the three and 12-month reporting periods presented in our financial statements in this afternoon's press release and 10-K, which will be filed with the SEC. As detailed on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income in our press release this afternoon, excluding the impacts of accumulated and unpaid preferred distributions of $1.6 million and net income allocated to participating shareholders, of $0.7 million, our GAAP net income from continuing operations attributable to unit holders for the three months ended December 31, 2020, was $2.8 million compared to $5.8 million last year. GAAP net income attributable to unit holders is the equivalent P&L line item that the public company BioVentus, Inc., will compare in our financial statements beginning in the first quarter of 2021. On an as-converted basis, reflecting the recapitalization and IPO, we would expect approximately 56.8 million common shares outstanding in the first quarter of 2021. Non-GAAP net income attributable to common unit holders from continuing operations was $11.4 million compared to $9.8 million last year. Non-GAAP net income attributable to unit holders was $13.7 million compared to $13.1 million last year. Note, this excludes the aforementioned impact of accumulated and unpaid preferred distributions and net income allocated to participating shareholders totaling $2.3 million for the 12 months ended December 31, 2020 and is the equivalent non-GAAP T&L line item that the public company BioVentus Inc. will compare to beginning in the first quarter of 2021. Adjusted EBITDA was $28.2 million, down 8% year-over-year, and above the midpoint of the preliminary range we provided in our S-1 filing in early February. As detailed in the non-GAAP reconciliation table in our press release, adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of stock compensation expense and other non-cash, non-recurring items. We believe this better reflects the underlying operating performance of our business. Now turning to a brief review of our revenue results for the 12 months ended December 31, 2020. Net sales were $321.2 million compared to $340.1 million last year, a decrease of $19 million or 6% year over year. The year-over-year change in net sales by geography was driven by a 4% decrease in US net sales and a 22% decrease in international net sales compared to the prior year period. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates did not have a material impact on our international net sales results for the full year 2020 period. The year-over-year change in net sales by vertical for the full year 2020 period was driven by a $14.9 million decrease, or 14% year over year, in global net sales of MI products, and a $10.9 million decrease, or 6% year over year, in global net sales of OA products, partially offset by a $6.8 million increase, or 12% year over year, in global net sales of BGS products. Finally, while it is not our practice to disclose product-specific revenue details, in the interest of transparency with the investment community, we are electing to provide additional color on the growth performance of our largest and fastest-growing OA product, Duralane. Sales of Duralane products increased 21% year-over-year in 2020, driven primarily by 39% growth in the U.S., impressive growth performance in light of the challenging operating environment during 2020. Turning now to a brief review of our financial results for the 12 months ended December 31, 2020. GAAP net income from continuing operations increased 81% year-over-year to $14.7 million. GAAP net income attributable to common unit holders from continuing operations was $4.4 million compared to $1.2 million last year. Excluding the impacts of accumulated and unpaid preferred distributions of $6.1 million and net income allocated to participating shareholders of $5.9 million, our gap net income attributable to unit holders for the 12 months ended December 31, 2020, increased 140% year-over-year to $16.4 million. Again, GAAP net income attributable to unit holders is the equivalent P&L line item that the public company BioVentus, Inc. will compare to in our financial statements beginning in the first quarter of 2021. On an as-converted basis, reflecting the recapitalization on IPO, we would expect approximately 56.8 billion common shares outstanding in the first quarter of 2021. Non-GAAP net income attributable to common unit holders was $37.1 million in compared to $28.6 million last year. Non-GAAP net income attributable to unit holders increased 36% year-over-year to $49.1 million. Note, this excludes the aforementioned impacts of accumulated and unpaid preferred distributions and net income allocated to participating shareholders totaling $12 million for the 12 months ending December 31, 2020 and is the equivalent non-GAAP P&L item that the public company BioVentus Inc. will compare to beginning in the first quarter of 2021. Adjusted EBITDA increased 9% year-over-year to $72.4 million, representing 22.6% of net sales compared to 23.3% last year. Turning quickly to the balance sheet, as of December 31, 2020, the company had $86.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and $188.4 million in debt obligations compared to $64.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and $198.0 million in debt obligations as of December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2020, we had $49.9 million of available borrowing capacity on our revolving line of credit. Turning now to a review of our fiscal year 2021 revenue guidance, which we introduced in our press release this afternoon. For the 12 months ending December 31, 2021, the company expects net sales of $360 million to $372 million, up approximately 12% to 16% year over year. Net loss attributable to common shareholders of $15 million to $19 million compared to net income of $16.4 million for the 12 months ended December 31, 2020. Non-GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders of $43.0 million compared to $46.0 million compared to $49.1 million for the 12 months ended December 31, 2020. adjusted EBITDA of $79 million to $83 million, compared to $72.4 million for the 12 months ended December 31, 2020. In addition to the formal financial guidance provided in this afternoon's release, we would like to provide some key assumptions to bear in mind when evaluating our growth expectations for 2021. First, our full-year 2021 net sales guidance range assumes the following requirements. for net sales growth by geography. U.S. net sales growth is expected to be in line with total company net sales growth, and international net sales growth is expected to be in the mid to high teens year over year on both a reported basis and a constant currency basis. For net sales by vertical, our full year 2021 guidance assumes low single-digit growth in MI sales and mid to high teens growth in both OA and BGS sales. These underlying assumptions are expected to result in the largest contributor to our total company net sales by geography to be growth in US sales, and by vertical, the largest contributor to total company net sales is expected to be growth in sales of our OA products. Second, we expect to see measured improvements in the operating environment as we move through 2021, fueled by the increasing availability of vaccines and an increasing percentage of vaccinated Americans. That said, our full-year 2021 guidance assumes no material improvement in COVID-related headwinds, including sales rep access and elective procedures trends over the first half of 2021, and a return to normalized year-over-year growth trends in the third quarter of 2021. Third, by way of reminder, like many MedTech companies, our business experiences modest seasonality during the calendar year, with the strongest quarter being Q4 and the smallest percentage of full-year revenue coming in Q1 each calendar year. In addition to the normal seasonal slowdown from Q4 to Q1, our first quarter of 2021 results to date have been further impacted by the ongoing challenges related to the COVID pandemic in our primary markets around the world. As such, our full-year guidance includes the assumption that our Q1 2021 results total company net sales will decline in the range of 1% to 2% year over year on a reported basis and constant currency basis. Finally, with respect to our expectations for financial performance in 2021, we would like to provide some considerations for modeling purposes to help evaluate our full year 2021 guidance for GAAP and non-GAAP net income. For the full year 2021 period, we expect non-GAAP gross margins of approximately 79%, which exclude non-cash amortization of approximately $22 million. GAAP operating expense growth in the mid-teens year-over-year, driven by a normalization of operating expense spending compared to 2020, plus incremental stock comp expense of $11 million, Incremental anticipated changes in connection with potential strategic investments of approximately $4 to $5 million, and other incremental costs, including those related to being a public company. Note, for non-GAAP purposes, we expect our GAAP operating expenses to include approximately $5.9 million of non-cash amortization. Total interest and other expenses of approximately $3 million to $4 million. non-cash DNA of approximately $30 million, non-cash stock comp of approximately $22 million, and weighted average diluted common shares of approximately 57 to 59 million shares. With that, I'll turn the call back to you, Ken.
