A brief question and answer session will follow the formal presentation. If anyone should require operator assistance during the conference, please press star zero on your telephone keypad. As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. It is now my pleasure to introduce your host, Joe Giafoni. Please go ahead.

Thank you, Stacey, and good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining Gaming and Leisure Properties' first quarter 2023 earnings call and webcast. The press release distributed yesterday afternoon is available on the investor relations section on our website at www.glpropinc.com. On today's call, management's prepared remarks and answers to your questions may contain forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements address matters that are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed today. Forward-looking statements may include those related to revenue, operating income, and financial guidance, as well as non-GAAP financial measures such as FFO and AFFO. As a reminder, forward-looking statements represent management's current estimates, and the company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements in the future. We encourage listeners to review the more detailed discussions related to risk factors and forward-looking statements contained in the company's filings with the SEC, including its 10Q and in the earnings release, as well as the definitions and reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures contained in the company's earnings release. On this morning's call, we are joined by Peter Carlino, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Gaming and Leisure Properties. Also joining today's call are Brandon Moore, Chief Operating Officer, General Counsel, and Secretary. Desiree Burke, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, Steve Ladney, Senior Vice President and Chief Development Officer, and Matthew Demchik, Senior Vice President and Chief Investment Officer. With that, it's my pleasure to turn this call over to Peter Carlino. Peter, please go ahead.

Well, thank you, Joe, and good morning. We are happy, of course, to report another very positive quarter as well as outlined in our releases yesterday. As always, I think our team has done a very thorough job of giving you all the information that you would want. It's very well encapsulated there. But I'll highlight a couple things and then, of course, turn the floor over to Desiree and to Matthew.
