Joseph DeVito
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Butterfly Network

Thank you, Heather. Good afternoon, and thanks for joining the call, everyone. I'm pleased to report that our 2023 revenue finished at $65.9 million worldwide, above our expectations of at least $64 million. I was pleased to see each one of our channels performing well as we headed into 2024. In fact, our Q4 and full-year direct sale revenues grew 10% and 11% year over year. Moving forward, we have every opportunity to realize growth across all of our channels and grow the company double digits in 2024 while investing efficiently. Over the last 18 months, we removed over $170 million of cash costs from the business, yet continue to invest in our technology roadmap and our commercial team. 2023 was a necessary transition year for the company. We chose to resize the business and focus our strategy. We've matured as a company and can now rely less and less on online sales and more on higher-end hospital sales. The operational disruption is over. Our sights are set today on growth of our existing business, new products recently launched, and building new market opportunities only ultrasound on chip technology can deliver. During my first full call last year, I laid out what we would deliver in 2023 to set the foundation for growth in 2024. It was, one, introducing new ultrasound education offerings, to make POCUS accessible to healthcare providers and grow our users. Two, accelerate the ease of use by increasing the availability of AI solutions. Three, identifying new development partnerships to bring our core technologies into markets that are not competitive to butterfly, but will create value for shareholders by leveraging our core semiconductor investment. And four, introduce more products from our roadmap to drive top line growth. I'm very pleased to say that we've completed each of these commitments. One, for new education offerings, we delivered Butterfly Certified, an expert-led education services helping customers master point of care ultrasound with Butterfly by training and certifying proficiency in certain scan types. This offering was operationalized very quickly. We've already seen Butterfly Certified revenue, we've embedded education as a service into all of our quotations to health systems going forward two on the ai offerings we received fda clearance and launched our ai powered auto beeline counter in the second quarter of 2023 it was a key fda ai milestone for us we also launched butterfly garden our ai marketplace since 2018 we've grown a leading customer base of over 143,000 probes, and now third-party ultrasound AI companies can build and sell new AI applications to them. These new AI tools, which will be compatible with Butterfly devices, will be incredibly valuable to all Butterfly users. We signed 13 partners to date, and our newest partner, DeepEcho, just press released their entrance into the program this week. Three, we've announced previously that we delivered on the core technology partnerships by successfully launching our Powered by Butterfly program in 2023 and introducing Forrest Neurotech and Mandera as initial partners. Four, and lastly, we delivered ahead of schedule on two key product launches, NLAB and IQ3, which I will review in more detail in just a bit. We butterfly employees are very proud of our accomplishments in 2023. We weathered the storm, stayed together, delivered on our destruction goals while implementing our core priorities and investing in our commercial organization. Thus, we've set ourselves up in 2024 to be laser focused on revenue execution. At this point, I'll turn the call over to Heather to walk through 2023 results in more detail before returning to our 2024 execution strategy. Heather?
