Over the past few months, we have had a team dedicated to developing a comprehensive integration plan and preparing for our future as one organization. Through these efforts, we have seen how well our teams work together and how closely our cultures align, and we are starting this new chapter ready to hit the ground running.

Second quarter 2025 adjusted net income was $64 million compared to $105 million in the second quarter of 2024. This change was primarily due to the decrease in adjusted EBITDA previously mentioned, coupled with an increase in interest expense. Turning to segment-level performance, the branded pharmaceutical segment reported revenues of $228 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $225 million in the second quarter of 2024.

The sterile injectable segment reported revenues of $87 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $91 million in the second quarter of 2024.

The specialty brand segment reported net sales of $264 million as compared to $275 million in the second quarter of 2024. This 4% decrease includes the impact of the Therakos divestiture. Excluding Therakos, specialty brand net sales grew by 28%. The primary driver of this growth was Acthar Gel, which generated net sales of $175 million in the second quarter, an increase of 49% compared to the prior year period. This significant growth, which represents the highest growth for Acthar brand in more than a decade, was driven by rising category awareness, prescriber base expansion, and improved patient affordability. In addition, we're nearly a year into the highly successful launch of our Self-Check device, which has been a strong growth driver for the brand.

We also saw growth across all therapeutic areas this quarter, a great indicator of momentum for Acthar Gel overall. Turning to INOmax, net sales were $62 million in the second quarter, a decrease of 7% compared to the prior year period. Sales in the U.S. continue to be impacted by competitive pressures. We are pleased with the growth we saw in Japan, where sales increased 27% compared to the second quarter of 2024. Our multi-year rollout of the Evolve DS delivery system into U.S. hospitals continues to progress well. As of quarter end, we had more than 700 devices placed in over 80 hospitals nationwide.

The specialty generics segment reported net sales of $221 million as compared to $240 million in the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of 8%.

I will now hand the call back to Sigurdur Olafsson for the combined company's 2025 financial guidance and some closing remarks.
