Good morning. I'm Alex Cukic, and I'm joined today by Ben Gong, our Vice President of Finance. Together we will give you a brief overview of Intuitive Surgical. We will introduce you to the business model, the opportunities that we have for future growth, as well as give you a brief introduction to the da Vinci system, which is our main platform. But before I do that, I would just like to remind you that a list of our risks and uncertainties can be found on our website within our SEC filings. Intuitive Surgical was founded in ####, and we went public in the year ####. We have experienced pretty substantial growth since going public. We just came out of another year of ##%-plus topline growth, which is our third consecutive year of doing so. Operating profits were up over ##%, and our overall operating profit was ##.#% of sales. Our Q# #### numbers were pretty consistent. We were up ##% same period year-over-year, and operating profit was again approximately ##.#% of sales....

Why don't we go ahead and get started. I'm Tycho Peterson with the Medical Life Science Group. It's my pleasure  to introduce our next company this morning, Intuitive Surgical. Many of you in the room are undoubtedly familiar with the tremendous success Intuitive has had over the past several years with the da Vinci robot for minimally invasive surgery. Over the past year, we've seen the Company continue to penetrate the urology market, in particular for prostatectomy procedures. And the Company has also begun to successfully penetrate the emerging hysterectomy market. The da Vinci is gaining rapid and strong support among the gynecological oncology community. All of this, of course, has translated to tremendous success, both in terms of the stock and financial performance. So, here to tell you a little bit more about the Company, I'm pleased to introduce Ben Gong. ...

Number one, we've got Intuitive Surgical coming up, and isn't that a nice coincidence, since we just had Dr. [Tuari] here. He's just up the block. I just sent a car for him and he's going to go right back. Apparently, he does do these robotic prostatectomies on investment bankers. I know a lot of urologists won't treat investment bankers, but apparently if you know any that need this, that's where you can go. Second is just a quick personal one, where I didn't run into this in looking at your -- didn't run into this in looking at some of the procedures you do until I actually had -- or saw one. And a good friend of mine just had a gastric bypass done, went through all the procedures, went through all the psychology, et cetera.

Those were the three...
