Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the TELA Bio Fourth Quarter 2023 Earnings Conference Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. A question-and-answer session will follow the formal presentation. As a reminder this conference call is being recorded.

I would now like to turn the conference over to Louisa Smith from the Gilmartin Group.

Louisa Smith

Thank you, Michelle, and good afternoon everyone. Earlier today, TELA Bio released financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2023. A copy of the press release is available on the company’s website. Joining me on today’s call are Tony Koblish, President and Chief Executive Officer; and Roberto Cuca, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

Before we begin, I’d like to remind you that during this conference call, the company may make projections and forward-looking statements regarding future events. We encourage you to review the company’s past and future filings with the SEC including, without limitation, the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Qs, which identify the specific factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements.

These factors may include, without limitation, statements regarding product development and pipeline opportunities, products potential, the impact of various macroeconomic conditions, including the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, recessionary concerns, banking instability and inflationary pressures, the regulatory environment, sales and marketing strategies, capital resources or operating performance.

With that, I’ll now turn the call over to Tony.

Antony Koblish

Thank you, Louisa. Good afternoon everyone and thanks for joining us today for TELA's fourth quarter and full year 2023 earnings call. Today, I'd like to cover two main topics; how we did in the just completed quarter and year and how we laid the foundation for even greater performance in 2024. Our fourth quarter was very strong and I'm delighted to report that we have never been better positioned for success in our history as you will hear today. As a result of our outstanding Q4, we entered 2024 with considerable momentum, which is reflected in our guidance.
