Thank you, Miri, and thanks to all of you for joining our fourth quarter and full year 2019 financial results conference call. Here with me around the table in Israel are, Dr. Michael Kreindel, the Co-founder and CTO. Michael is also a Board member of the Company, Yair Malca, our CFO; Rafi Likerman, our VP, Finance. Before I update you on the major development and financial results for the fourth quarter and the full year 2019, I would like all of you to join us as we celebrate two major events. This year, we're celebrating 10 years of operation. We began operation in 2009 so last year was our 10 year anniversary. The second event, we're celebrating is that's 2019 was the first year that's we recorded full year result as a public company. As we celebrate these major events, we would like to highlight our achievement along the way. In 2016, the FDA cleared InMode new and proprietary Bipolar RF frequency technology, which enabled further development and marketing of minimally invasive Subdermal Adipose Remodeling Devices. I'm sure that all of you may know our BodyTite, FaceTite, AccuTite and Morpheus8. With this new technology InMode introduced a new category in the medical aesthetic market, which we call Minimally Invasive and Subdermal Ablative Aesthetic Surgery. This technology enables physicians to provide solution to patient, who do not want to suffer from the shortcoming or full plastic surgery yet we'd like to get comparable results. We call them Treatment Gap patients. Today five years after being production of this technology in U.S., InMode has become the leading provider of minimally invasive aesthetic surgery solution to the aesthetic surgeons. The success of InMode's Subdermal Adipose Remodeling Devices into minimally invasive and the subdermal ablative space inspired InMode to apply the same principle of facial and body reshaping to the non-invasive market with hands-free application. As such, InMode has developed two FDA-cleared unique hands-free platforms, the Evolve for body and the Evoke for face. These two platforms are also cleared in Canada and also in Europe received the CE Mark for marketing and sales in Europe. Utilizing this, Bipolar RF technology for delivering RF energy and the electromagnetic pulses made Evolve as the only device for treatment of skin, subdermal fat and muscle tone improvement, while Evoke is the first hands-free device for the face and submental area. The introduction of Evolve and Evoke to the market created for us another new category within the aesthetic market. We call it Hands-Free Aesthetic Procedure. And therefore, currently, our portfolio consists of two proprietary and protective group of products; the first one, minimally invasive and subdermal ablative aesthetic surgery; and the second one, hands-free aesthetic procedure. These two groups are expected to be the main growth engine for InMode in the coming year and to position InMode as the front and as leading innovative aesthetic company. As for the global reach, InMode continued to develop the United States and the international market throughout network of subsidiaries and distributors. In addition, InMode continued to work on clinical and regulatory advancements in various countries. Recently, we've received ANVISA clearance from Brazil and additional clearance in the United States, Canada, Taiwan and other countries in Eastern Europe. These new regulatory clearances will create additional market potential for InMode's platform and solution. Now for the numbers; as of December 31, 2019, the total number of employees worldwide was 251 and our distribution network cover over 50 countries. Our worldwide installed base reached approximately 4,900 platforms of which approximately 2,800 were in the U.S. In the fourth quarter, InMode generated record revenue of $47 million, a 63% increase from fourth quarter of 2018, reflecting our continued growth and the [indiscernible] reduction of our minimally invasive RF technology as well as the introduction of the new hands-free platform. International revenue grew 71% year-over-year. Net income increased to $19 million. In the fourth quarter, we are focusing on profitable growth and are successfully implementing our goal of international expenses. We are increasing this expansion effort with current subsidiaries in Spain and the U.K and our newly established subsidiaries in India and Australia. As for the full year 2019, our total revenue reached $156.4 million, a 56% increase from 2018, and our net profit grew to $61.1 million, a 173% increase from 2018. Now for 2020 guidance. Turning to our 2020 guidance, we expect another consecutive growth year, driven by continued development in the market in the U.S. and Internationally. Based on our expectation, we are providing a full year 2020 revenue guidance of $190 million to $198 million. We also expect full year 2020 GAAP gross margin to be in the range of 85% to 87%. Full year 2020 non-GAAP income from operations is expected to be in the range of $76 million to $80 million, and a full year 2020 non-GAAP earnings per share is expected to be in the range of $1.85 to $1.93. Now, we would like to update you on our portfolio categorization. Starting in the first quarter of 2020, we are introducing a more detailed presentation of our product revenue to better reflect our operation by disclosing the following three categories. The first category is the surgical platform, which includes all the platforms engage in minimaly-invasive and subdermal ablative treatment. The second category is our hand-free platform, which currently includes Evolve and Evoke; however, we intend to continue to develop platforms and indication and the new indications for this category. The third category consists of what we call traditional laser and non-invasive RF platform. And here I would like to make the same statement I made before. InMode is not traditional laser company. We develop and sell non-invasive laser equipment since we want to be one-stop-shop to our customers who buying our unique platforms. Last but not least, I'm sure that I would be asked on the effects of the coronavirus on our business. The effect of the coronavirus on our business is threefold. The first one, we expect the overall impact or our revenue to be as minimal as possible since our Asia-Pacific region now account for a small portion of our total revenue. We believe that at least in the first quarter and perhaps in the second as well, our sales in China and the other neighboring countries will be affected. As of today, many events and medical conferences are being canceled in Asia. We also took this into account in our projection for 2020. We hope that in Q3 and Q4 everything would be back to normal regardless we are continuing to follow the situation on a daily basis. The second effect is on our manufacturing, as you probably know some of our components are manufactured in China, and currently Chinese factories have not returned to full production. We're working now to get second and third sources for those components from Europe and other countries. We believe that these components will probably be more expensive, but we plan to do our best to minimize the effect on the flow of manufacturing and deliveries of product. The third effect is our regulation in China. Since the CFDA is now closed, we anticipate delay in the approval of platforms, hopefully not more than three -- not more than three months. We expected to get the clearance in China in the first quarter. We now believe that the clearance will come sometime in the second quarter. Now, let me handover the call to Yair to review our financial results in detail. Yair?
