Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the Elanco presentation. We're very pleased to have Jeff Simmons, CEO of Elanco, joining us today. And as you know from the past couple of days, the animal health is a very exciting space. And so we think Elanco is one of the very exciting ways to participate in, in this segment.
So with that, this is going to be -- we'll do our Q&A, and the company has a breakout session to follow. But please raise your hand for any questions along the way.
