Good afternoon, and thank you, Carol. The first quarter of 2021 was a defining quarter for Evalus. We made significant strides in bringing clarity around our future for our shareholders, customers, and employees. The quarter was defined by three major events that set the stage for the continued success of Javeau in the United States. The first event was a resolution of both the ICC case and all outstanding future litigation. Second, we recapitalized the company by eliminating senior and convertible debt and future milestones. We also completed an equity offering and received a settlement payment from our partner. These activities transformed our balance sheet resulting in a pro forma cash position of $140 million on March 31st. Third, thanks to the strong showing of support from our customers, our business has quickly bounced back since settlement in mid-February. To provide additional color in our business, in the first quarter of 2021, we generated $12.2 million of net revenues, with most of the sales occurring after settlement in mid-February. We grew purchasing accounts to 5,800 from 5,600 at year end, and our cumulative reorder rates grew to 73%. We are pleased to see the trends from the first quarter persist into the second, where we see increasing reorder rates, and on average, these accounts are repurchasing at higher volumes. Overall, we are pleased to have all outstanding legal issues resolved and the company well-capitalized for the future. The second quarter marks the first quarter since launch in which we are free from all legacy challenges, and for the first time, our customers can now partner with us for the long term and realize the full potential of our unique value proposition. We have proven that an aesthetic company positioned against a younger demographic with a focus on technology creates a unique differentiation. The combination of these elements has resulted in increasing trends across our business. In Q2, we believe GVO will achieve its highest sales quarter ever and reach an annualized net revenue run rate of $100 million. Lastly, this month we are celebrating the two-year anniversary since the launch of GVO. The success we are seeing with GVO is directly related to the quality of this product and the extensive data generated over several years. And now I would like to turn it over to Rui Avalar to give you a quick update. Rui? RUI AVALAR Thank you, David, and good afternoon.
