Thank you, Georgia, and thanks, everyone, for joining. We've had a very exciting and important few months that have set us up extremely well for the changes we're announcing today. First, we were very pleased to sign the Supply Assurance Agreement with Merck. We've been working on this for months, and it was a key reason why we had the confidence in our revenue projections for the year. More importantly, it was one of the final pieces of the jigsaw we needed to fall into place for us to be ready to commit to the transformation of Codexis into a full-service manufacturing innovator in the field of oligonucleotide manufacturing. We also expect to sign the lease for our new facility in the next week or two. which will give us the capability to manufacture GMP-grade SARNA in kilogram quantities using our EcoSynthesis technologies. We're really excited by the commercial trajectory of the Eco platform. This time last year, we were closing in on our first revenue-bearing contract. Today, we have 11, with 40 more in the pipeline. The technical team has continued to make spectacular progress on perfecting and scaling the eco platform, and we will be presenting new data at Tides Europe next week. So in summary, we have the financial resources, the real estate, the expertise, and the demand lined up to move Cadexis into the next phase of our transition. On a personal note, this completes the task I came here to do as CEO. Over the past three years, in an effort expertly led by Kevin Norritt, we've conducted a thorough assessment of the most attractive markets that can be accessed using our co-devolver technology. About two years ago, we got very excited about the enzymatic synthesis of siRNA, an endeavor that led to the Ecosynthesis platform you see today. Now that we are confident in the market and the potential of the platform, The time is right to optimize and streamline the organization to maximize our ability to succeed. Evolving from an enzyme supplier to an innovative manufacturing solutions provider allows us to streamline our existing organization. This will significantly reduce our cost base while improving our responsiveness and nimbleness and allowing us to build further for the future. We've looked to optimize every level of the organization. With that in mind, I'm extremely excited that Alison Moore, our chief technical officer, will succeed me as CEO. I intend to remain with Codexis as executive chair. There's a saying that successful CDMOs are run by leaders with deep technical expertise. Alison is a great leader and has deep experience and expertise in perfecting and scaling novel manufacturing platforms. Similarly, Kevin has handed over the commercial reins to Brittain Jimenez, a domain expert in commercial leadership of CDMOs. Brittain is here on the call to answer your commercial questions. With that, I'm going to hand over to Alison.
