(technical difficulty)

Chairman and CEO of Merck. He's been there, of course, since 1992 in this role since 2011. Of course, in February, which was the last time that Ken and I got to speak, they announced his retirement as CEO, although he'll remain Executive Chairman for some period of time. Of course, as CEO of Merck, Ken has overseen the rise of KEYTRUDA. At the beginning of his tenure as CEO, he told me there was a pressure on the industry to cut research and development. That was a pressure that he resisted.

I'm going to hand it over to Ken Frazier now for his presentation. And I also encourage everybody to put your questions in the Q&A tab, and we'll get to those after the presentation. Ken, over to you.
