Illumina, Inc.

Hey, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the first quarter 2022 Illumina Earnings Conference call. At this time, all participants are in listen-only mode. After the speaker's presentation, there will be a question and answer session. Please be advised that today's conference is being recorded. I would now like to hand the conference over to Sally Swartz, Vice President of Investor Relations. Please go ahead, ma'am.

Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to our earnings call for the first quarter of 2022.

During the call today, we will review the financial results released after the close of the market and offer commentary on our commercial activity, after which we will host a question and answer session. If you have not had a chance to review the earnings release, it can be found in the investor relations section of our website at Illumina.com. Participating for Illumina today will be Francis D'Souza, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Sam Samah, Chief Financial Officer. Francis will provide an update on the state of Illumina's business, and Sam will review our financial results, which include GRAIL. As a reminder, pending the outcome of the European Commission's investigation into Illumina's acquisition of GRAIL, the Commission has adopted an order requiring Illumina and GRAIL to be held and operated as distinct and separate entities for an interim period. Compliance with the order is monitored by an independent monitoring trustee. During this period, Illumina and GRAIL are not permitted to share confidential business information unless legally required, and GRAIL must be run independently, exclusively in the best interests of GRAIL. Commercial interactions between the two companies must be undertaken at arm's length. This call is being recorded, and the audio portion will be archived in the investor section of our website. It is our intent that all forward-looking statements regarding our financial results and commercial activity made during today's call will be protected under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual events or results may differ materially from those projected or discussed. All forward-looking statements are based upon current available information, and Illumina assumes no obligation to update these statements. To better understand the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ, we refer you to the document that Illumina files with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Illumina's most recent forms, 10-Q and 10-K. With that, I will now turn the call over to Francis.
