Thank you, Bahija. I'm delighted to be here today to provide you with an update on what was a very successful launch year. Approvals in over 30 countries and the launch of KIMMTRAK, we have strongly delivered against the promise of radically improving outcomes for patients living with metastatic uveal melanoma. This has been recognized with KIMMTRAK inclusion into the ASCO and NCCN guidelines, recommending it as a standard of care for patients with mUM and through the prestigious innovative therapy award from [indiscernible] in France and the best new drug award from script. Our teams have executed flawlessly launching KIMMTRAK just days after approval, achieving reimbursement in the U.S., Germany and France, transitioning all EAP patients to commercial supply within weeks and importantly, establishing KIMMTRAK as the most prescribed medicine for HLA-A02:01 positive metastatic tubulomynoloma patients across all countries that we've launched in. In 2022, we recognized $141 million in net sales of KIMMTRAK, primarily in 3 major countries. Our Q4 net sales of $51 million represents approximately a 25% quarter-over-quarter growth. This was driven by strong demand in the U.S., including a onetime increase in year-end stocking at our specialty distributors and single-digit demand growth in Germany and France. Let's now look at our progress in the U.S. and what to expect moving forward. The outstanding execution by our U.S. team delivered KIMMTRAK to 240 new accounts in 2022. We believe these capture approximately 50% of the patient potential, and we plan to continue increasing the number of new accounts, especially in the community. Our focus on enabling first-line patients, we closed the year with 60% of KIMMTRAK share in first line, being treated closer to home is important for patients and the future of our therapy. At the end of 2022, 1 out of 2 patients were being treated in the community. I'm pleased to see the efficacy and tolerability of KIMMTRAK reported in our Phase 3 clinical trial playing out in the real-world setting. While it remains early to confirm the average duration of therapy, our commercial persistence models indicate that KIMMTRAK duration of therapy is tracking to a mean of around 9 months, which is broadly in line with our expectations. From an access perspective, our teams have done a tremendous job in securing formal policy coverage for over 90% of all potential patients in the U.S. And last year, we saw 99% of prescription covered. We continue to work hard towards our goal of supporting access for every single patient who needs KIMMTRAK to our KIMMTRAK Connect program. Let's move on to Europe, where we've had a fantastic launch as well. With over 100 accounts treating patients with KIMMTRAK across Germany and France, we are capturing nearly all potential patients with mUM in these key markets. The European team are dedicating their efforts to increasing patients treated with KIMMTRAK in first line by working to expand our treatment footprint into office-based physicians in Germany and with dermato-oncologist in France. The clinical value of KIMMTRAK has been recognized in Germany by the GBA with a considerable added benefit rating. This is particularly important as KIMMTRAK becomes 1 of only 3 [indiscernible] oncology products in the last 10 years to have received a strong rating, which will support our ongoing price negotiations. We expect to reach a negotiated price by the first half of the year. This negotiated price will apply retroactively and we have started accruing for this potential discount in our German net sales as of November 2022. In France, we have received an ASMR rating of 3 and then SMR benefit of importance. With no restrictions and not relevant clinical comparators, this strong rating will enable us to begin pricing negotiations in the second half of 2023, with an agreement expected in the first half of 2024. 2022 was certainly a historic year for patients with mUM and for Immunocore. One year ago, we began delivering the amazing innovation that is KIMMTRAK to patients. Today, we have successfully launched in 3 countries, radically improved outcomes for more than 300 patients, and our early access program has benefited over 500 patients globally. Looking ahead, we expect to launch KIMMTRAK in one major European country around midyear and in up to 5 additional countries by year-end. Across countries where reimbursement is not yet available, we continue to offer KIMMTRAK to nearly 200 patients through the EAP. We remain focused on our ambition of making KIMMTRAK available to over 1,000 patients by 2025. With that, I want to thank the team for an excellent 2022. Thank you for your support. And now I invite Brian to take you through our financial results.
