Thank you, operator, and good morning, everyone. Welcome to the Dents by Sirona second quarter 2024 earnings call. Joining me for today's call is Simon Cambion, chief executive officer, and Glenn Coleman, chief financial officer. I'd like to remind you that an earnings press release and slide presentation related to the call are available in the investor section of our website at www.densebuyserona.com. Before we begin, please take a moment to read the forward-looking statements in our earnings press release. During today's call, we may make certain predictive statements that reflect our current views about future performance and financial results. We base these statements and certain assumptions and expectations on future events that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Our most recently filed Form 10-K and any updating information in subsequent SEC filings lists some of the most important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ from our predictions. Additionally, on today's call, our remarks will be based on non-GAAP financial results. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures offer investors valuable additional insights into our business's financial performance, enable the comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independently of business performance and enhance the transparency regarding key metrics utilized by management in operating our business. Please refer to our press release for the reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP results. Comparisons provided are to the prior year quarter unless otherwise noted. A webcast replay of today's call will be available on the investor section of the company's website following the call. And with that, I would now like to turn the call over to Simon.
