Good morning. My name is Joelle, and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the conference call. (Operator Instructions) Thank you. Mr. Rishi Sharma, you may begin your conference.
Thank you, operator. Good morning, and thank you for joining us on our conference call. Happy new year to all. (spoken in foreign language) Today, in addition to our third-quarter results, we will also discuss two important transaction that position Velan for sustainable long-term growth, improve our balance sheet, and unlock significant value for our shareholders, namely the divestiture of our asbestos-related liabilities and negotiations for the sale of our French substitutes.
Given the latter, our French businesses have been reclassified as assets held for sale and discontinued operations in our financial statements. Our discussion of operating results will essentially focus on continuing operations unless otherwise specified.
