Greetings, and welcome to Gladstone Commercial Corporation First Quarter Earnings Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. A 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. Please note this conference is being recorded. I will now turn the conference over to Mr. David Gladstone, Chairman of Gladstone Commercial Corporation. Thank you, Mr. Gladstone. You may begin.

Well, thank you so much for that nice introduction, and thanks to all of you guys on the phone for calling in today. I want to tell you, we do enjoy the time we have with you and on the phone even, and I wish we had more time to talk. But let's start out with Catherine Gertz. She's our Director of Investor Relations to provide a brief disclosure regarding certain regulatory matters that always impact everything we say. So, Catherine, go at it.

Thanks, David. Good morning. Today's call may include forward-looking statements, which are based on management estimates, assumptions, and projections. There are no guarantees of future performance, and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in these statements due to various uncertainties, including the risk factors set forth in our SEC filings, which you can find on the investor page of our website, gladstonecommercial.com. We assume no obligation to update any of these statements unless required by law. please visit our website for a copy of our Form 10-Q and earnings press release for more detailed information. You can also sign up for our email notification service and find information on how to contact our Investor Relations Department. We are also on X at Gladstone Comps, as well as Facebook and LinkedIn. Keyword for both is the Gladstone Companies. Today, we'll discuss FFO, which is funds from operations, 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 may also discuss core FFO, which is generally FFO adjusted for certain other non-recurring revenues and expenses. We believe these metrics can be a better indication of our operating results and allow better comparability of our period-over-period performance. Now, let's turn the presentation to Buzz Cooper, Gladstone Commercials CEO and President.
