Thanks, David. And thanks to everyone for joining us today. First, I'd like to recognize our Ekso team members for their continued commitment and support as we collectively prioritize serving our customers through this challenging time. The need for improved care remains at the forefront for patients recovering from stroke, spinal cord injuries and traumatic brain injuries. Our team at Ekso is elevating the standard of care for rehabilitation with our groundbreaking excellent our exoskeleton. Inpatient rehab centers worldwide are adopting our technologies they recognize that EksoNR delivers better patient outcomes. On the industrial side of our business our newly introduced exoskeleton [ph] has already generated strong customer enthusiasm. This latest advancement provides key benefits to industrial workers in different settings to increase productivity, reduce fatigue related injuries and lessen the strain on the shoulder and lower back. In total, we are showcasing the benefits of our exoskeleton solutions in both medical and industrial settings. We are pleased that we achieved third quarter revenues of $2.9 billion the 28% sequential increase over Q2 as we continue to navigate to the COVID related challenges. Led by our commercial team, we successfully raised customer engagement levels by leveraging a virtual solid approach to remain connected with our customers. As a result of our efforts, we achieved 90% of revenues in the third quarter compared to the same period last year. Given where we were at the beginning of the pandemic in late March and early April, we believe we are on a path to recovery however, with the recent rise of COVID cases across the country and around the rural world. We are cautiously optimistic in our near-term outlook. We generated 22 total EksoNR bookings in the third quarter, including 17 bookings for new units. Since most orders have been delayed and not canceled because of the pandemic. Our order pipeline remains solid. A major achievement in the third quarter was our 63% overall gross margin, which was seven percentage points above the record we said in the second quarter. In terms of our operational performance, we continue to manage costs well resulting the lowest quarterly use of cash. Our actions have made us a leaner and more efficient business which has resulted in margin expansion. In addition to our strategic and operational flexibility, proceeds from our previously completed financing and subsequent war exercises, strengthened our cash balance and put us in solid financial position. I'm proud of the way our team delivered under these challenging circumstances. Our commercial sales team is getting the job done and we believe our adaptive approach to customer engagement is making a meaningful difference. At this time, I will turn the call over to Bill who will provide an update of a medical device segment and global commercialization strategy.

Thank you, Jack. We're pleased to report better than expected Q3 results. And I'm proud of our commercial team's performance as we kept focused on extending the benefits of Ekso program across the globe. Our commercial team continues to expand our install base by leveraging multiple acquisition options, including our new subscription model. Altogether, our approach helps facilitate a strategic sale that we believe is working. We continue to gain traction with our network strategy, and are excited about our prospects moving into 2021. Let me briefly touch on some specific examples of how we are achieving success. We previously shared news about our new pilot program with vibrant health care, which was delayed several quarters due to the pandemic. We're now moving forward and starting our first pilot in Q4. We continue to advance our relationship with Kindred healthcare and work with their transitional care hospital organization to launch one of our first subscription programs. The Kessler Foundation purchased an additional EksoNR in support of a new clinical and research initiative. Ekso will be hosting a webinar on Acquired Brain Injuries with Dr. Karen Nolan, Senior Research Scientist from Kessler on Thursday, November 12, as part of a highly attended clinical webinar series. Ekso Bionics is the first and only exoskeleton that is FDA approved for the treatment of acquired brain injury. Today, we highlight another patient success story with one of our partners at Sunnyview rehabilitation hospital, and how they utilize EksoNR to help Kylie, a patient at Sunnyview and an incredible journey following a serious brain injury. In October of 2019, Kylie was in a serious motorcycle accident and was airlifted to the hospital, suffering multiple internal injuries, fractures and a traumatic brain injury. While still in a coma, she was transferred to Sunnyview Rehabilitation Hospital and…

Thanks, Bill. Before I turn the call to Jack Glenn, I'd like to provide an update on our industrial segment. Our industrial customers have become accustomed to our innovative technologies that transform the way they think about construction and manufacturing. Customers who use Ekso Industrial technologies benefit from increased and more consistent labor productivity, reduced worker fatigue and injuries and an expanded labor pool. We have taken the next step in delivering on all these fronts with the August launch of EVO, EVO is our next generation endurance boosting assistive upper body exoskeleton that helps augment human capabilities. It was developed in collaboration with customers to address the unique challenges of the industrial workforce. EVO is making productivity more predictable by reducing fatigue related injuries, lowering company costs and improving employee morale. EVO has already received an enthusiastic response in the form of several new customer orders and pilots across a variety of industry verticals, such as construction, food processing and logistics. This morning, we announced our first customer for EVO, EGM Builders, a general contractor that provides construction services and represents our largest order in the construction vertical to date. EVO addresses many of the productivity and health risk challenges faced by construction workers. We are pleased to deliver this solution to EGM and look forward to providing more updates of this exciting product. Now, I will turn the call over to Jack Glenn to review our third quarter financial results.

Thank you, Jack. We had a solid quarter achieving sequential revenue growth driven by an increase in EksoNR volumes. Operationally, we generated a record overall gross margin and reduce our quarterly use of cash to the lowest level in the company's history through prudent expense management. Now on to the summary of our third quarter financial results, EksoNR generated third quarter revenue of $2.9 million, compared to $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2020 and compared to $3.3 million for the third quarter of 2019. Our gross profit for the third quarter was $1.8 million, representing a record gross margin of approximately 63% compared to gross profit of $1.8 million in gross margin of 53% for the same period a year ago. This was driven by an increase in higher average selling prices for EksoNR an increased proportion of medical device sales and overall revenue composition, lower unit production costs, the introduction of EVO and higher service markets. Our early actions to preserve our cash and align our cost structure with the current operating environment enabled us to significantly lower our operating expenses. Our operating expenses for the third quarter of 2020 were $4.2 million, compared to $5.5 million for the third quarter of 2019 a reduction of approximately $1.3 million, or about 24%. For the three months ended September 30 2020 we recorded a gain on warrant liabilities a $4.5 million due to the revaluation of warrants issued in 2015, 2019 and 2020 compared to $4.4 million gain associated with the revaluation of warrants issued in 2015 and May 2019 for the same period in 2019. Net income for the third quarter of 2020, which benefited from the revaluation of warrants, was $2.5 million or $0.30 per basic share, and a $0.01 loss per diluted share, compared to…

Thank you. We will now be conducting a question and answer session. [Operator Instructions] Our first question comes from line of RK Ramakanth with H.C. Wainwright, please proceed with your question.

Thank you. Good evening, Jack and Jack, and congratulations on a great quarter. It's really nice to see that you're on the path to recovery potentially here. I understand the cautious optimism, as well. Overall, the quarter seems to be going in the right direction. In terms of the placements itself, I believe you had said the 22 in our placements, out of which 13 were new. So as time goes along, are you seeing any decline in terms of the sales cycle, in terms of the time it takes between initial touch point and the sale? And if this is the case, how can you know is it getting to the most optimal time point that you would like to see? Or you still have some something to squeeze out of there?

Hey RK, this is Jack Peurach, thanks for the question. I'll just - and turn over to Bill. We've been doing a lot of things to help reduce both the time and the costs associated with selling the product. And, I think that sales cycle, if anything, was probably extended during this period of time, mostly given the distance, certainly on the customer decision making capability. But I do think there are some things we're doing that are shortening the sales cycle, and we'll talk about that a little bit. But, overall, I'd say, no, we're still not satisfied with it, there's still a lot of opportunity to shorten the cycle on our side, and we're working on some of those right now. But okay, over to Bill.

Hey, RK. What I'd say is just selling advanced technology in general, especially in the front end of market adoption, it takes a lot of steps. So there's a lot of different stakeholders you have to get on board. And typically, you see anything from maybe three months on the short side, to 18 months on a longer side. And I know that that's a large swing. But it's our job really to accelerate that, there's a couple different ways to do it. But almost every deal we're involved with starts and ends with clinical support. So we really have to have the support of our, what we call, clinical champions, to start and really from there, the way we accelerate is just by helping justify or validate the program value. So whether it's operational efficiency, the ROI, whatever is important to the executive group, and then finding different acquisition options that will help them get something done sooner. So as you can imagine, right now, in this environment, there's some capital constraints. But what's helped us actually accelerate our sales cycle a little bit better, is just having more flexible options. So whether that's doing something with purchase terms, our rental program, or subscription, those types of options are helping us get into conversations a little bit sooner about the transaction, and really aligning with executives to find an option that will work for them.

Very good. And then also Bill, you're talking about APAC and India. I think this is the first time I've heard India. So, it's good to see these countries outside the US getting into the business. How sustainable is this? Is this line in the sense - India and other countries and do you need to be doing more or less or how sustainable that is?

So let me just real quick to correct that, it's actually EMEA or Europe, mostly Europe, although we do have a partner in India. So to answer your question, obviously, we are focused on having a global presence. And so we've been very focused on Asia, there's certain countries within Europe that we're very focused on, but it's a methodical approach, we want to make sure that we're going deeper in the right countries first and learning more. But we do have partners throughout the globe, and then we'll continue to evaluate what markets make the most sense to invest in on a go-forward basis.

Okay, thank you. And then one question for Jack Glenn. Obviously, it's nice to see the uptick in the operating margin. Especially in the JNA, expenses, we see that line going down at a decent clip starting from $2.1 million in Q1 to $1.7 now, so how much of that is almost done, or is that more to get out of that operating margin?

That's for sure. So, we feel really good about obviously, the burn the cash burn in the quarter, as you noted that it was a record for us, as far as even the lowest that we've had in the history of the company. So we have been making great progress there. From the margin standpoint and from the authentic standpoint, I think that the structure that we have right now, we continue to look at, and certainly, in areas that we think we can become even more efficient, but we're pretty comfortable with I would say this, the infrastructure we have, especially in the G&A side right now going forward. So I would say that's probably going to remain fairly stable.

Thank you. And congratulations, again.

Thank you. There are no further questions. At this time, I'd like to turn the floor back over to Mr. Peurach for closing remarks.

Thank you, Gavin [ph]. And thank you all for joining us today. Before closing the call, I'd like to read the iterator through quarter highlights. Led by our commercial team, we're realizing improving revenue trends and higher levels of customer engagement. While the increase in COVID cases is something we continue to track and may impact the timing and predictability of future sales, we will look to take advantage of opportunities in our pipeline both domestically and internationally, by increasing user adoption and education. Operationally, we achieved record gross margins and significantly lowered the costs from the prior year period. As a leader organization with a solid cash balance, we were taking prudent measures to achieve margin expansion and believe we're well positioned financially. Lastly, we are pleased to have launched Evo, our next generation exoskeleton that was built based on feedback we've received from our trailblazing excellent vest technology. To this point, we've generated a positive response from customers and their employees who use Evo. We will share more on this innovative product in quarters to come. Going forward, we remain committed to delivering long term value for patients, customers and shareholders. Thank you for joining us today.

This concludes today's teleconference. You may disconnect your lines at this time. Thank you for your participation and have a wonderful day.
