Gary Maharaj: Thank you, operator. Welcome everyone to our first quarter fiscal year 2024 earnings call. Here is what we plan to cover today. I'll begin with a high-level overview of our quarterly financial performance followed by a discussion of our recent progress from an operational standpoint and our outlook for the rest of the year. Tim will discuss our Q1 financial results in more detail and review our financial guidance for fiscal 2024, which we updated in today's earnings press release. Then, we'll open the call for questions. Let's start with a discussion of our financial performance. In the first quarter, we were pleased to achieve total revenue growth of 23% year-over-year to $30.6 million. Excluding the SurVeil DCB license fee revenue in both periods, which represented an approximately $300,000 headwind in the quarter, we achieved total revenue growth of 25% year-over-year.

Our total revenue performance came in just above our stated range of expectations for the quarter of $29.5 million to $30.5 million, which we shared on our last earnings call. Importantly, our performance was driven by impressive contributions from both of our business segments. The Medical Device segment grew 24% year-over-year to $23.5 million and increased 27% including the year-over-year headwind related to the SurVeil DCB license fee revenue that I just mentioned. And revenue from our in vitro diagnostics or IVD segment grew 18% year-over-year to $7 million. In our Medical Device segment, growth was primarily driven by record product sales, which increased 43% year-over-year, fueled by our Vascular Interventions device portfolio, specifically our SurVeil drug-coated balloon and Pounce Thrombectomy platform.

We also saw important contributions from royalties and license fees from our performance coatings, as well as R&D services revenue. Growth in our IVD segment, which was exceptionally strong in the quarter benefited from a combination of factors, including strong demand for select products heading into peak influenza season. The timing of orders and the continued return of more normalized purchasing patterns from some of our customers that had taken steps last year to manage COVID era's elevated inventory levels. Lastly, we were pleased to complement our impressive revenue performance with year-over-year improvements in our operating results, delivering adjusted EBITDA of $3.9 million is $7.2 million improvement compared to the first quarter of last year.
