Kevin C. Mannix - Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.
Management
Thank you, Lawrence, and thank you, everyone, for joining us today to discuss Teva's fourth quarter and full year 2016 financial results. On the call with us today are Dr. Sol Barer, Chairman of the Board, Dr. Yitzhak Peterburg, Interim President and CEO; Eyal Desheh, Chief Financial Officer; Dipankar Bhattacharjee, Global Generic Medicines; Dr. Rob Koremans, Global Specialty Medicines; Dr. Michael Hayden, Head of R&D, Chief Scientific Officer; Dr. Carlo de Notaristefani, Global Operations; and David Stark, Chief Legal Officer. We'll start the call with opening remarks from Dr. Barer and Dr. Peterburg, followed by a presentation from Eyal. We'll then open the call up for questions-and-answers. A copy of the slides can be found on our website at www.tevapharm.com, as well as on the Teva Investor Relations app. During this call, we will be making forward-looking statements, which are predictions, projections or other statements about future events. These estimates reflect management's current expectations for Teva's performance. Actual results may vary whether as a result of exchange rate differences, market conditions or other factors. In addition, the non-GAAP figures exclude the amortization of purchased intangible assets, costs related to certain regulatory actions, inventory step-up, legal settlements and reserves, impairments and related tax effects. The non-GAAP data presented by Teva are used by Teva's management and board of directors to evaluate the operational performance of the company, to compare against the company's work plans and budgets, and ultimately, to evaluate the performance of management. Teva provides such non-GAAP data to investors as a supplement of data and not in substitution or replacement for GAAP results, because management believes such data provides useful information to investors. And with that, I will now turn the call over to our Chairman, Dr. Sol Barer. Sol, if you would?
