Chief Executive Officer, RVL Pharmaceuticals

With the first quarter in the rearview mirror, we are now past the one-year mark in our aesthetic launch, and we remain truly excited about the prospects for UpNIC Brand. Our cash-paid multi-channel strategy is beginning to pay dividends as we leverage the P&L to drive growth. Our eye care business continued to grow, which is remarkable considering that there has been no personal promotion in this sector for over six months. We believe that that is testimony to the efficacy, safety, and ultimately patient satisfaction with the brand. It is also meaningful that there is no competition. When examining our aesthetic progress, we once again see a strong reorder pattern emerge as practices learn how to integrate a novel product into their daily routine. Our sales professionals were heavily focused on helping accounts cycle through inventory during the first quarter and also increased our total new accounts. Later in the call, JD will walk through the specific metrics behind our performance. Telemedicine will also begin to play a meaningful role in our business over time, especially for those patients who do not wish to visit a provider. We are in the early phase of this strategy where our partners are optimizing their approach behind a calculated spend. In the very near future, their advertising should become more prominent. JD will also describe our new e-commerce platform called Elevate, which will open a whole new line of communication with our providers and, most importantly, their patients. Finally, I'd like to add that we reached an agreement on a special protocol assessment, or SPA, with the FDA for our baclofen. We will now ramp up our effort to partner the brand and deliver value for this important asset. And with that, I'd like to turn the call over to Mike for more specifics around our financial performance in the quarter. Mike?
