Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for standing by. Welcome to the Calyxt Third Quarter 2020 Results Conference Call. During today's presentation, all parties will be in a listen-only mode. Following the presentation, the conference will open up for questions. This conference is being recorded today, November 5, 2020. At this time, I'd like to turn the conference over to Chris Tyson, Senior Managing Director of MZ North America Calyxt Investor Relations Firm. Please go ahead, sir.

Thank you and good afternoon. I would like to thank you all for taking time to join us for Calyxt's third quarter 2020 business update and results conference call. Your hosts today are Jim Bloom, Chief Executive Officer, and Bill Koschak, Chief Financial Officer. A press release detailing these results crossed the wires this afternoon at 4.05 p.m. Eastern Time today and is available on the company's website, calyxt.com. Before we begin the formal presentation, I'd like to remind everyone that statements made on the call and webcast, including those regarding future financial results and future operational goals and industry prospects, are forward-looking and may be subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the call. Please refer to the company's SEC filings for a list of associated risks. This presentation also includes a discussion of adjusted gross margin, net loss, net loss per share, and EBITDA. All are non-GAAP financial measures. In Calyxt press release and its filings with the SEC, each of which is posted on the Calyxt website at calyxt.com, you will find additional disclosure regarding these non-GAAP measures. Reference to these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to GAAP financial measures and should not be considered a substitute for results that are presented in accordance with GAAP. Finally, this conference call is being webcast. The webcast link is available in the investor relations section of our website at calyxt.com. At this time, I would like to turn the call over to Calyxt Chief Executive Officer Jim Bloom.

Jim, the floor is yours. Excuse me, this is the operator. Mr. Bloom, are you present? We seem to have lost Mr. Bloom or his line is muted. One minute, please. Mr. Bloom, your line's open. Please go ahead. Thank you. Mr. Bloom, we're ready for your presentation.
