Thank you, Bob. My thanks also to our investors and analysts for your interest in Kamada and for participating in today’s call. I'm pleased to report Kamada’s strong third quarter performance, which demonstrates the successful strategic transition of the company and is consistent with our previously communicated positive outlook. You will recall that we had focused that our financial results in the second half would meaningfully improve as compared to the last year and the first six months of this year. Our performance in the third quarter indicates that our business is beginning to realize the significant benefits of the acquired portfolio of full FDA approved IgG consisting of CYTOGAM, HEPAGAM, VARIZIG and WINRHOSDF. In fact, I can now confidently say that we have completed our rapid transition from our past dependency on GLASSIA sales to Takeda into a diversified, fully integrated commercial company and a global leader in the plasma-derived specialty market. On our last call, I laid out our expected key sales and profitability drivers for the second half of the year. This included our IgG portfolio, sales of aircraft to KEDRAB and Kedrion and GLASSIA royalty income. All of these were indeed important contributors to the sales of stability growth in the third quarter in which we generated total revenues of $32.2 million, representing a 40% increase year-over-year and gross margins of 40%, up from the 25% in the third quarter of 2021 and 31% in the second quarter of 2022. Our adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was $6 million, representing a 19% margin. And for the first nine months of the year, adjusted EBITDA was $10.6 million, representing a 13% margin. This EBITDA level is consistent with our annual guidance and it represents a 58% increase as compared to last year. We also continue to…

Thank you, Amir, and good day everyone. In the third quarter of 2022, total revenues were $32.2 million, a 40% increase from the third quarter of 2021. For the first nine months of 2022, total revenues were $83.9 million, an increase of 16% year-over-year. These quarterly results are indicative of the successful strategic transformation we achieved through the strategic acquisition [acquired] [ph] during 2021 and resulting in a vertically integrated global commercial biopharmaceutical company with multiple growth drivers. The year-over-year growth during the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 was primarily driven by continued strong sales of our recently acquired IgG products. As Amir mentioned, the previously forecasted strong second half of the year was driven by multiple factors, including the continued growth of the new IgG product sales in the U.S. fueled by the ongoing marketing efforts, as well as the expansion of ex-U.S. sales of these products. The continued growth of KEDRAB to Kedrion in support of the product in market sales growth and full impact from royalty income from GLASSIA. In addition, fourth quarter revenue will be further aided by the VARIZIG supply agreement, which will include approximately half of the $11.4 million in total revenues to be generated from this contract. We recognized $3.5 million of royalty income from Takeda based on their sales of GLASSIA in the third quarter, which was in-line with our anticipated quarterly projections. As a reminder, the second half of the year will include two full quarters of royalty income as compared to only four months in the first half. Total gross profit for the third quarter of 2022 was $12.9 million, representing 40% margins, compared to $5.7 million or 25% margin in the third quarter of 2021. Gross profit for the first nine months of 2022 was $31.4…

Thank you. [Operator Instructions]

Rob, thank you. While we wait for some additional questions to queue up, I have some that have been emailed into us. So, let me go through those. First is for Amir and Chaime. In order to meet your full-year revenue guidance of $125 million to $135 million, your fourth quarter revenue will have to be significantly stronger than the third quarter. So, can you please provide us a breakdown of how that will be achieved?

Thank you, Bob, for the question. As we said, we're reiterating our full-year guidance, based on the orders that we have and the sales that have already been executed since beginning of the fourth quarter. Three things to take into consideration compared to the third quarter is one, the VARIZIG supply agreement, the new supply agreement around half of it, 50% of it will be executed in this fourth quarter. So, this is additional around between $5 million to $6 million in comparison to the third quarter. Secondly, our Israel Distribution segment, we have significant orders which are pending and will be executed over the next few weeks before the end of the year. And in general, the new IgG portfolio products are growing and will continue to grow in the fourth quarter. So, when we add all those items together, all those orders together, we reached the annual guidance, which we've given.

Okay. That's helpful. Great. The other question we have is, just related sort of a corollary to that, should we expect increased operating expenses as we look out to 2023 as compared to this year, and if so, can you quantify how much higher those expenses might be?

So, 2023 will be a full-year of our sales and marketing activity in the U.S. This is something with infrastructure and hiring the people something that we've done gradually over 2022. So, 2023 will be a full-year in that regard. Of course with all of this activity contribute to our top line performance and our profitability. So, it's definitely a worthwhile investment and we see this actually happening in the U.S. market. Adding to that the Inhaled AAT, which is going to run at an expedited rate in 2023, those two components add to our operational expenses for the marketing and R&D and we expect that next year investments in those items will be approximately an increase of 10% to 12% compared to this year.

Okay, great. The next question was, do you expect that sales growth from the acquired products will come from additional international contracts and/or is that coming mainly from discussions, whether it be sales, promotions, contacts with – by your new sales and medical affairs teams with physicians and transplant centers?

Both basically. So – and it's actually already happening and we see this. The VARIZIG contract for Latin America is one example, extending the agreement in Canada is another example. We were starting to see the impact of our sales activity and [medical affairs] [ph] activity in the U.S. market. As I mentioned during the call, it's been over 10 years over a decade that those products were not supported by field activity. And as of a few months ago, we started to engage in discussion with the relevant physicians in the relevant transplant centers and we are highly encouraged with the feedback we're receiving from those health care providers. So, all of that, we will contribute to increase sales adding to the fact that we are selling their new products through our existing distribution network across the world in many different countries and in both items, so basically both aspects are contributing to the growth that you already see and our expectation for continued growth in the years to come.

Great. And just – with regards to the transplant centers, are there – maybe you could help quantify that for us, is there a certain set of transplant centers you'd like to see cover with that sales and marketing force?

Yes. So, of course, we are focusing on the larger ones. We're focusing on the one that are using our products and we'd like increase usage. We are also talking to centers that have not used, especially CYTOGAM in recent years. And as I said, those products were not supported by field activity. So, now it's a good change in terms of the ability to grow the business and to promote it and to talk to physicians and to collect data and present the data to the physicians. So, all of this is actually happening as we speak with our U.S. team. In terms of [quantified quantities] [ph], we’re talking about 150 to 200 centers that we are covering. It's a very focused effort with the focused team of experienced specialist and it's going very well in terms of our coverage and our ability to talk to the right people.

Great. And just going back to, we talked obviously about success of your acquired portfolio of products, does Kamada have an ongoing [business effort] [ph] or excuse me, business development effort to continue to look for products like this to continue to expand your portfolio of proprietary products?

We are building the right infrastructure. As I said, we’re highly focused on specialty plasma products and transportation centers. And in parallel to that, we will be looking and we've started to look at what might be another synergistic product, but from a BD perspective, we can bring in, this is an effort that will take us through 2023 and we will be looking for the right opportunities.

Great. Okay, great. That's all the questions we have from the [various questionnaires] [ph], so that was very helpful. Rob, I'll turn it back to you.

Thank you. [Operator Instructions] Thank you. At this time, I'll turn the floor over to Amir London for closing remarks.

Thank you very much. So, in closing, we begin to realize the significant benefits of our recent strategic transformation. Our strong third quarter performance is consistent with our forecast as a positive outlook. Based on expectation for continued revenue growth and enhanced profitability in the fourth quarter, we are reiterating our full-year 2022 financial guidance. As discussed during the call, we continue to focus growth at the double-digit rate in the foreseeable years ahead of us, driven by our proprietary product categories. We thank all our investors for their support and remain extremely committed to creating long-term sustainable shareholder value. Thank you very much. We hope you all stay healthy and safe.

This will conclude today's conference. You may disconnect your lines at this time and thank you for your participation.
