Thanks, David. Good morning, everybody. Today's report may include forward-looking statements under the Securities Act of 1933. in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including those regarding our future performance. These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties that are based on our current plans, which we believe to be reasonable. Many factors may cause our actual results to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including all the risk factors in our Forms 10Q, 10K, and other documents we file with the SEC. You can find them on our website, gladstonecommercial.com. specifically the investor's page, or on the SEC's website, which is www.sec.gov. And we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any of these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law. Now, today we'll discuss FFO, which is funds from operations. Now, FFO is a non-GAAP accounting term defined as net income. excluding the gains or losses from the sale of real estate and any impairment losses on property, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets. We'll also discuss core FFO, which is generally FFO adjusted for certain other non-recurring revenues and expenses. And we believe these metrics are a better indication of our operating results. We'll have better comparability of our period over period performance. Now, please visit our website. Once again, gladstonecommercial.com. Sign up for our email notification service.
