Thank you, Gary. Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to Sera Prognostics’ second quarter fiscal year 2023 earnings conference call. At the close of the market today, Sera Prognostics released its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Presenting for the company today will be Zhenya Lindgardt, Interim President and CEO; and Austin Aerts, our Interim CFO.

During the call, we will review the financial results we released today, after which we will host a question-and-answer session. If you do not have a chance to review our quarterly earnings release, it can be found on our website at seraprognostics.com.

Please note that some of the information presented today may contain projections or other forward-looking statements about events and circumstances that have not yet occurred, including plans and projections for our business, future financial results and market trends and opportunities. These statements are based on management’s current expectations, and the actual eventual results may differ materially and adversely from these expectations for a variety of reasons. We refer you to the documents the company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, specifically the company’s annual report on Form 10-K, its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and its current reports on Form 8-K. These documents identify important risk factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those contained in our projections and other forward-looking statements.

Zhenya Lindgardt

Thank you so much, Peter. And good afternoon, everyone.

Having served on Sera’s Board of Directors since November 2021 and now just a few weeks into my role as Interim President and CEO, I have developed an even greater appreciation of the company’s technology and talented employees these past few weeks. Frankly, after spending significant time with the team and working hard since May with our outside advisers at a leading strategic consulting firm to conduct a rigorous evaluation of our business and its strength, I’m highly encouraged by what I’ve seen and what we’re capable of achieving going forward.
