Thanks, Operator. Good afternoon. Thank you for joining our conference call to discuss the results of our first quarter of 2023. On the line, I am joined by Steve Chapman, our CEO, Alex Oleshin, Chief Medical Officer, subbing in for Solomon Moshevich, who wasn't able to join the call today due to company business, and John Sesko, Chief Business Officer.

A replay of the call will also be posted to our IR site as soon as it's available. Starting on slide two, during the course of this conference call, we will make forward-looking statements regarding future events and our anticipated future performance, such as our operational and financial outlook and projections, our assumptions for that outlook, market size, partnerships, clinical studies, opportunities, and strategies, and expectations for various current and future products, including product capabilities, expected release dates, reimbursement coverage, and related effects on our financial and operating results. We caution you that such statements reflect our best judgment based on the factors currently known to us and that actual events or results could differ materially. Please refer to the documents we file from time to time with the SEC, including our most recent Form 10-K or 10-Q and the Form 8-K filed with today's press release. Those documents identify important risks and other factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in or suggested by the forward-looking statements.
