Good day, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Amphastar first quarter earnings conference call. [Operator Instructions] All statements on this conference call that are not historical are forward-looking statements, including, among other things, statements relating to the company's expectation regarding future financial performance, backlog, sales and marketing of its product, market size and growth, the timing of FDA filings or approvals, including the DMF of ANP, the timing of the product launches, acquisitions and other matters related to its pipeline of product candidates, its share buyback program and other future events. These statements are not historical facts but rather are based on Amphastar's historical performance and its current expectations, estimates and projections regarding Amphastar's business operations and other similar or related factors. Words such as may, might, will, could, would, should, anticipate, predict, potential, continue, expect, intend, plan, project, belief, estimate and other similar or related expressions are used to identify these forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words.
You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult or impossible to predict and, in some cases, beyond Amphastar's control.
