Thank you, as always, David, for having us. So thanks to Nasdaq for inviting Hologic to once again ring the opening bell to mark the start of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. At Hologic, we are champions in the fight against breast cancer. Our innovative, market-leading Genius 3D Mammography exam detects more invasive cancers than traditional mammograms while also reducing false positives. Our comprehensive portfolio of products enables us to stand with women throughout their entire continuum of breast care, from screening to diagnosis, to surgery and, ultimately, recovery. No company in the world does more to fight breast cancer than Hologic. More broadly, we are champions of women's health, and we know the health and well-being of women underpins the health of families, communities, societies and economies around the world. Today, we are honored to be joined by 2 champions in their own rights: President of the Women's Tennis Association, Micky Lawler; and tennis legend Martina Navratilova. Earlier this year, Hologic and the WTA partnered together to amplify our voices. We share a vision of greater wellness and equality for women. And together, we aim to drive significant progress towards achieving these goals. There is no better time than the present to elevate women's health and to elevate the importance of breast cancer screening. It is indisputable that early detection leads to better outcomes. We are also joined today by a group of employees who have made outstanding contributions to our company and to millions of patients around the world. You embody our purpose to enable healthier lives, our passion to be global champions of women's health, all while delivering our promise, The Science of Sure, a commitment to provide health care professionals clinically differentiated, highest-quality products. From all of us at Hologic and our partners at the WTA, we encourage you to join our journey during Breast Cancer Awareness Month and every day of the year. Thank you.

Steve, congratulations on once again kicking off Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Congratulations on all you do for women's health. We're obviously incredibly proud of our partnership and, on behalf of our team, proud to present you and your team with our Opening Bell crystal.

David, thank you again. Thank you so much.
