Thanks, operator. Thank you for joining us for Exact Sciences' fourth quarter 2024 conference call. On the call today are Kevin Conroy, the company's chairman and CEO, and Aaron Bloomer, our chief financial officer. Brian Baranek, our general manager of precision oncology, will also be available for questions.

Our actual results may be materially different from such statements. Discussions of non-GAAP figures and reconciliations to GAAP figures are available in our earnings press release, and descriptions of the risks and uncertainties associated with exact sciences are included in our SEC filings.
