Thank you, David and good morning to everyone listening. Before I begin, on behalf of Xtant Medical, I'd like to extend our deepest gratitude to the healthcare professionals, including many of our customers, our friends, and family members, who are tirelessly caring for patients on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic. They are an inspiration to us all as they do the impossible work of taking care of those most in need, while putting their own lives and safety at risk. In reviewing Xtant Medical's first quarter results, we began the year motivated and optimistic that the strategic and operational initiatives implemented in late 2019 were gaining traction. Sales were tracking in line with our expectations and our actions to streamline the business overall were showing signs of progress. However, as the scope of the COVID-19 pandemic became apparent in early March and restrictions were placed on elective procedures, our sales began to trail off as the majority of spinal procedures were put on hold. In response to this crisis, we had to go back to our mission of honoring the gift of donation by allowing our patients the ability to live as fuller life as possible. Through this reset and realigning with our mission, we identified four areas to improve upon and emerge from this crisis stronger than ever. First, we prioritize keeping our employees safe and healthy. To that extent, we implemented social distancing and employee work from home procedures. We continue to monitor local and state government guidelines and attend to hold those measures in place until it is safe for our employees to return to work. Second, we enacted several cost reduction initiatives to conserve as much cash as possible, this included workforce reductions and furloughs, and across the Board pay decrease for all employees, and…

Thanks Sean and good morning again, everyone. Total revenue for the first quarter of 2020 was $14.8 million compared to $16.7 million for the same period in 2019. This decrease was primarily attributed to the impact of COVID-19 and the sudden drop in elective procedures beginning early March. As Sean mentioned earlier, prior to the pandemic, our sales were tracking in line with our internal forecast and similar to prior year sales levels. Gross margin for the first quarter of 2020 was 65.0% compared to 64.6% in the same period a year ago. First quarter 2020 operating expenses were $11 million compared to $11.5 million in first quarter 2019. General and administrative expenses decreased to $4.3 million in first quarter 2020 compared to $4.5 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease was primarily due to lower legal expenses and consulting fees, partially offset by severance-related expenses from the workforce reductions we enacted due to COVID-19. Sales and marketing expenses were $6.4 million for the first quarter of 2020, a decrease of 5% compared to $6.7 million in the same period in 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower sales commissions due to the lower sales number. Research and development expenses were approximately $250,000 for the first quarter of 2020 compared to $262,000 for the same period in 2019. The net loss was $2.5 million or $0.19 per share for the first quarter in 2020 compared to a net loss of $2.8 million or $0.21 per share in the comparable 2019 period. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2020 was $500,000 compared to $1.0 million for the same period of 2019. As of March 31st, 2020, we had $3.2 million of cash and cash equivalents, $9.7 million of net accounts receivable, $18 million of inventory, and approximately $12 million available under our credit facility. Now, I'll turn a call back to Sean for additional comments.

Thank you, Greg. In closing, this is an unprecedented and challenging time for our business and the customers that we serve. While we expect near-term challenges to persist due to the restrictions and elective procedures, we believe our cost savings actions in response to the pandemic will enable us to navigate through this period of uncertainty. Through our newly implemented operational and marketing initiatives, we believe that our business will emerge in a position of strength as conditions begin to normalize and as elective procedures are allowed to resume. I look forward to providing updates on our progress on future calls. We wish all of those listening on today's call, good health. Thank you for your continued support. End of Q&A: And that concludes today's call. Thank you for joining. All parties may disconnect.
