Katherine A. Littrell - Jazz Pharmaceuticals Plc
Management
Thank you, Sandra, and thanks to each of you for joining our investor call, today. We reported our fourth quarter and full year financial results and 2017 financial guidance in a press release. The release and the slide presentation accompanying this call are available in the Investors section of our website. With me for today's call are Bruce Cozadd, Chairman and CEO; Matt Young, Chief Financial Officer; Russ Cox, Chief Operating Officer; Mike Miller, Head of U.S. Commercial; and Karen Smith, our Global Head of R&D and Chief Medical Officer. Following some remarks, we'll open the call for your questions. I'd like to remind you that some of the statements we will make on this call relate to future events and future performance rather than historical facts and are forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include statements related to our 2016 financial guidance and goals, potential FDA submission, approval and launch of Vyxeos, our corporate development efforts, future product sales and volume, future litigation and intellectual property-related events, our expectations with respect to a potential launch of a generic version of Xyrem, future inventory and supply challenges, future legislative changes ongoing, and future clinical trials and other product development activities, including study initiations and completions, top-line data readouts and other clinical and regulatory events, and the timing of such events and activities. These forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events, performance and results to differ materially. These risks and uncertainties are identified and described in today's press release, the slide presentation accompanying this call and under Risk Factors in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 and our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, which we will file shortly. We undertake no duty or obligation to update any forward-looking statements we make today. On this call, we will discuss several non-GAAP financial measures including historical and expected 2017 adjusted net income and the related per share measures, and historical and expected 2017 adjusted SG&A and R&D expenses. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are helpful in understanding our past financial performance and potential future results. They are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable reported GAAP measures. Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures discussed on this call are included in today's press release and the slide presentation accompanying this call. Both are posted in the Investors section of our website. I'll now turn the call over to Bruce.
