Thank you, George. And good morning to everyone joining us today. I'm going to provide an overview of our impressive third quarter performance and speak to how our strategy and patience is paying off. Sam will go deeper on the financials and update 2025 guidance. And I'll close with a look at products driving growth and opportunity. I'd like to thank my 13,000 colleagues around the world up front because without their commitment and belief in what we can achieve together, we'd be stuck in neutral. Instead, we're delivering on the vision we laid out in 2023. 6% constant currency revenue growth was once again fueled by a base business engine that continues to hump and the steady introduction of innovative products across categories. Pharmaceuticals was a standout thanks to 84 million in MIEBO revenue. Mibo growth helped bolster our comprehensive dry eye portfolio which is front and center for eye care professionals and patients and consumers. Effective selling has also meant more surgeons implanting invista intraocular lenses, helping drive 27% constant currency revenue growth in premium IOLs. Our loaded and differentiated pipeline will be on full display in just a few weeks at Investor Day. Importantly, the pipeline products we'll highlight aren't aspirational. These are clinical stage programs with anticipated launches over the next several years. Every part of our nearly three year journey since I returned, SEO has been aligned to one or more of three categories you've all become familiar with selling Excellence, Operational Excellence, and disruptive Innovation. Those aren't optional, they're imperatives. While our journey is nowhere near complete, given how far we've come, we've introduced a fourth category, Financial Excellence. This is our opportunity to deliver sustained, profitable growth that reflects our real potential. We'll show you what that looks like at Investor Day when we share our three year plan. We've reached a pivotal point in our journey to becoming the best iHealth company. Being the best means elevating the standard of care in eye health, which is why our priority.
