Thank you, Callon, and good morning, everyone. In 2022, Sanara generated $45.8 million in net revenue, representing a 90% increase in the -- from the prior year period. Fourth quarter of 2022 was another record year -- record quarter for Sanara as well as for our historical business lines prior to acquiring Scendia. In the fourth quarter, the company generated $15.3 million in net revenue and it was the first quarter during which the company generated over $5 million in net revenue in a single month. We continued to see strong growth in Cellerate sales as well as the sales from the products we licensed from Cook Biotech. The sales at Scendia were flat from Q3 to Q4 due to a stock out of our Allocyte product, which we will discuss in more detail later. For the year, our net loss was $8.1 million in 2022 compared to $8 million in 2021. Mike will go into further detail, but the company had a loss before income taxes of $13.9 million compared to a loss before income taxes of $8.0 million in 2021. The higher loss in 2022 was due to increased SG&A costs, higher R&D expenses, the loss on the disposal of the investment related to the dissolution of Sanara Pulsar and higher amortization of our acquired intangible assets related to the acquisitions of Precision Healing and Scendia. Despite the record quarter and year, our sales were impacted in Q4 by a stock out of our ALLOCYTE product, which began in late Q3 due to a shortage of the source material. We're expecting improvements in our ability to source this product from our suppliers, but we do not anticipate a full resolution until the second half of the year. In December 2022, we dissolved Sanara Pulsar and ceased marketing the Sanara Pulsar II AWI Wound Debridement System. When we formed Sanara Pulsar, we believed the Pulsar products would provide clinicians with a novel debridement solution. We also believed that the Pulsar product would receive an expanded reimbursement code by which all the -- code by use of all clinician types. Ultimately, we decided we did not receive an additional reimbursement code, which limited the adoption and sales of the Pulsar Products. In Q4, the submission of our Precision Healing Imager 510(k) was delayed due to unexpected electrical and software issues as well as increased product validation testing, which we believe provides further validation related to FDA regulatory testing requirements following our submission. The 510(k) was filed subsequent to the end of the quarter on March 16th, 2023. Zach will go into more detail, but we continue to be focused on the commercial development of our Imager, LFA and the Comprehensive Wound ARM strategy. It's an area of significant investment for the company that we believe will have a competitive differentiator for the company and should be well received by the market. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, we entered into a sale agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald for an ATM offering of our common stock equity. We've entered into this agreement for two purposes. The first is to raise capital for opportunistic -- opportunistic acquisitions and partnerships, and the second is to increase the liquidity of our stock. We currently intend to use the net proceeds we received from this offering to fund potential acquisitions, further development of our products, services and technology pipeline and clinical studies expand our sales force and for general corporate purposes. I'll ask Zach Fleming to discuss our business in more detail.
