At this time, Ed Pesicka, President and CEO, will share a few remarks to close out 2023 and to discuss the first quarter of 2024. Thank you, Mark. So just at a high level of 2023, I want to start by thanking our customers for enabling us to deliver on our mission of empowering our customers or them so they can advance healthcare. The other thing in 2023, we unveiled our timeless purpose as well as our timely vision. And our purpose is really simple. It's about Life Takes Care. And that happens every day. And what we're here at Owens & Minor to do is making sure that we can help and assist as Life Takes Care, as well as our vision. It's a dynamic and bold vision to be the unstoppable dynamic leader where we, as a company, can connect both patients and providers to the trusted healthcare products and solutions that they need. So with that purpose unveiled, we continue, as well as our vision, we continue to embed that into the fabric of the company. If I think a little bit about 2023, as we just came off of 2022 and kind of the end of COVID and really reset the stage of where we're going for the next five years as a company, 2023 is really focused around that stage that was set for the next five years. That's focused around, one, is accelerating our Patient Direct growth. Next is continuing to optimize our product and healthcare services segments. And then lastly, invest, invest back in the business to drive long-term value. So as we move into the first quarter of 2024 and really of the five-year strategy, the first quarter of 20 quarters, we've really accomplished what we've expected to accomplish starting out of the gates with specifically investing to drive value. We're actually ahead of where we thought we would be right now in those investments, which should provide longer-term profitable growth for us. So we closed out Q1 as expected, and now we're just focused on the next three quarters of this year and then the four remaining years in our long-term strategy. So with that, we turn it back over to Mark. Thank you, Ed. All of the board members and our executive leadership team are grateful to our shareholders and teammates around the globe for supporting our purpose, Life Takes Care, which is more than a tagline. It embodies the remarkable impact Owens & Minor has across the continuum of care to make each day better for the patients, providers, and communities we serve. Thank you all for your confidence and investment in Owens & Minor. I declare the meeting now adjourned and turn the meeting back to the operator. Thank you, Mr. Beck. This concludes the meeting. You may now disconnect.
