Brenton Saunders

Thank you George, and thank you everyone for joining today's call, I'm going to share the latest chapter in our execution story. Sam will dig into the numbers, and I'll close by highlighting some of the diverse products and services that position us for sustained profitable growth.

But first, an important note on recent speculation around a potential sale of Bausch + Lomb. While all parties remain committed to a full separation from Bausch Health, and there are multiple paths to making that happen. We don't comment on rumors involving the company. I certainly appreciate that some of you may ask about these rumors in the Q and A portion of today's call, as I'm sure you'll appreciate our standard response.
