Thank you, operator, and thank you all for participating in today's call.

Joining me from the company are Mark Iwicki, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer; Kim Brazzell, Head of R&D and Chief Medical Officer; and Mary Reumuth, Chief Financial Officer; Darius Kharabi, our Chief Business Officer, will also be joining us for the Q&A portion of today's call.

During this call, we will be referring to non-GAAP financial measures, which are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is available in our press release issued today, which can also be found on our website.

On this call, we will make certain comments about Kala's future expectations, plans and prospects that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements will include statements regarding the development program and market potential of KPI-012, planned productions and operating expenses and the sufficiency of our cash resources. These and other forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs and expectations of management as of this conference call. Our actual results may differ materially from our expectations. The company undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after this conference call, except as required by law.

Investors should carefully read the risks and uncertainties described in today's press release as well as the risk factors, which identify specific factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those described in our forward-looking statements included in the company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other filings we make with the SEC.

I will now turn the call over to Kala's CEO, Mark Iwicki.

Thanks, Hannah. And thank you everyone for joining us this morning. We are entering the second half of 2022 focused on transitioning from a commercial stage company back to our roots as an R&D organization with our efforts targeted on developing novel medicines that can improve the care and treatment of serious eye diseases.
