I would now like to hand the conference over to your speaker today, Jack Spinks, Director of Investor Relations. Please go ahead.

Jack Spinks

Good afternoon, and welcome everyone. My name is Jack Spinks, Head of Investor Relations here at Zymeworks. Today we will discuss our first quarter financial results, as well as provide an update to our ongoing business.

Before we begin, I'd like to remind you that we will be making a number of forward-looking statements during this call, including without limitation those forward-looking statements identified in our presentation slides and the accompanying oral commentary.

Forward-looking statements are based upon our current expectations and various assumptions and are subject to the usual risks and uncertainties associated with companies in our industry and at our stage of development. For a discussion of these risks and uncertainties, we refer you to our latest SEC filings as found on our website and as filed with the SEC.

Later in this call, Chris Astle, our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer will be discussing our financial results, including certain non-GAAP measures. A description of our non-GAAP measures and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable financial measures, as determined in accordance with GAAP are described in detail in our press release, which is available on our website at www.zymeworks.com under the Investor Relations tab. As a reminder, the audio and slides from this call will also be available on the Zymeworks website later today.

Now I will turn the call over to Chris, our Senior Vice President and CFO. Chris?

Chris Astle

Thanks, Jack and thank you everyone for joining us today for our first quarter 2023 earnings call. As a reminder, I'd like to note that while I'll be presenting the prepared remarks and participating in Q&A today, Kenneth Galbraith, our Chair and CEO; Neil Klompas, our President and COO; and Paul Moore, our CSO, will also be available for Q&A following this portion of the call.
