Kevin Gardner

Thank you, operator. Hello, everyone, and welcome to Verrica Pharmaceuticals Third Quarter 2023 Corporate Update and Earnings Conference Call. With me on the line this morning are Ted White, President and Chief Executive Officer of Verrica Pharmaceuticals, Joe Bonaccorso, Chief Commercial Officer; Terry Kohler, Chief Financial Officer; Dr. Gary Goldenberg, Verrica's Chief Medical Officer; and Chris Hayes, Verrica's Chief Legal Officer.

As a reminder, during today's call, management will make forward-looking statements. These statements may include expectations related to the commercialization of YCANTH in the United States, Verrica's clinical development programs and product candidates, as well as overall business strategy and planned operations. These forward-looking statements are based on the company's current expectations and involve inherent risks and uncertainties. And based on those risks and uncertainties, Verrica's actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements.

Please see Verrica's SEC filings for important risk factors. Verrica cautions you not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and undertakes no duty or obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or changes in expectations.

In addition, during today's call, we will discuss certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to and not a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures versus their closest GAAP equivalents. Our earnings release that we issued today includes GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations for these measures and is also available on the Investor Relations section of our website.

I'll now turn the call over to Verrica's President and CEO, Ted White. Ted?
