Thank you, Operator, and good afternoon, everyone. Joining me on the call today are Linda Tharby, Chief Executive Officer of Koru Medical Systems, Adam Calbermatten, President and Chief Commercial Officer, and Tom Adams, Chief Financial Officer. Earlier today, Koru released financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. A copy of the press release is available on the company's website. I encourage listeners to have our press release in front of them, which includes our financial results and commentary on the quarter. Additionally, we will use slides to support further commentary in today's call, which are also available on the investor relations section of our website. During this call, we may make certain forward-looking statements regarding our business plans and other matters. These comments are based on our predictions and expectations as of today. Actual events or results could differ materially due to risks and uncertainties, including those mentioned in the associated press release and our most recent filings with the SEC. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements. During the call, management will also discuss certain non-GAAP financial measures. You will find additional disclosures, including reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures with comparable GAAP measures in our press release. and the accompanying investor presentation and SEC filings. For the benefit of those listening to the replay, this call was held and recorded on Wednesday, May 6, 2026, at approximately 4.30 p.m. Eastern Time. Since then, the company may have made additional comments related to the topics discussed. I'd now like to turn the call over to Linda Tharby, Chief Executive Officer. Linda, please go ahead.
Thank you, Louisa, and good afternoon, everyone. Before we get into the quarter, I want to briefly acknowledge that this will be my final earnings call as CEO. As we shared last quarter, Adam has been appointed as my successor and will step into the role on July 1st. The transition is well underway and it's progressing extremely well. I have great confidence in Adam's leadership and in the continued momentum of the business under his direction. I'll begin today with some commentary on our performance highlights in the quarter, and then Adam will step in to speak about our broader strategy. Tom will then walk through our financial results before we open the call for questions. Q1 2026 was a record start to the year. We delivered $11.8 million in revenue, representing 22% growth over the prior year period. This reflects the strength and consistency of a recurring revenue model business built on the foundation of approximately 60,000 patients on the KORU platform. A few highlights. Domestic KORU grew 12% year over year, driven by new patient diagnosis starts in both legacy KORU accounts, as well as competitive conversions driving outperformance within a strong underlying SCIG market. International core grew 35% driven by pre-filled syringe conversions in Europe and strong distributor orders in a new market to support this growth. Within our non-IG pipeline, two of our existing pharma collaborations advanced assets within their phase three clinical trials, including one for an expanded indication and the other restarting their trials for a new drug application. We executed to plan in submitting our 510K application for the use of the Freedom Infusion System with deferoxamine, reflecting further tangible progress in our growing commitment to expand beyond IG. From a balance sheet perspective, we used only $100,000 in cash this quarter, ending the period with $8.8 million in cash, reflecting our continued progress towards sustainable profitability. We are reiterating our full year 2026 guidance for revenue, growth margins, adjusted EBITDA, and cash flow. Overall, this was a very good quarter, delivering strong revenue growth and continued execution against our strategic priorities. And now, I am pleased to turn it over to Adam.
