Thank you, Kevin, and good morning. I will begin today's call with a brief overview of ILPT's portfolio and highlight our third quarter results before turning the call over to Mark to discuss our leasing activity and pipeline. From there, Tiffany will review our financial performance. Despite macroeconomic and tariff uncertainty, the industrial real estate sector continues to demonstrate resilience. as reflected in our solid third quarter results. We are seeing tenants show greater confidence in their long-term space needs, especially compared to the start of the year, and we are making significant progress addressing our 2026 and 2027 lease expirations. Though industrial vacancy rates remain elevated compared to pandemic lows, new supply is limited and long-term Demand drivers, such as e-commerce growth and reshoring initiatives, continue to underpin demand in the sector. ILPT's third quarter reflects continued demand for a high-quality portfolio of industrial and logistics properties and growth in many of our key metrics. Same property cash basis NOI increased 3% compared to the same period a year ago, supported by strong renewal activity and rent growth. Additionally, normalized FFO increased over 100% year-over-year, primarily from the refinancing we executed in June. ILPT's portfolio consists of 411 distribution and logistics properties across 39 states, totaling 60 million square feet with a weighted average lease term of 7.4 years. Our well-diversified portfolio is further highlighted by our unique Hawaii footprint consisting of 226 properties totaling 16.7 million square feet. Our portfolio has a weighted average lease term of six and a half years and is anchored by tenants with strong business profiles and stable cash flows. Over 76% of our annualized revenues come from investment-grade rated tenants are from our secure Hawaii land leases. We finished the quarter with consolidated occupancy of 94.1%, outperforming the US industrial average by 150 basis points. Turning to our leasing activity, During the third quarter, we completed 836,000 square feet of leasing, including a rent reset, at weighted average rental rates that were 22% higher than prior rental rates for the same space and for an average lease term of eight years. Renewals accounted for 70% of our activity, highlighting strong tenant retention. As we continue to execute on our leasing priorities, We are simultaneously focused on evaluating opportunities to improve our balance sheet and reduce leverage. To that end, we have identified three properties for sale totaling 867,000 square feet. We are in various stages of the sale process and anticipate a combined sales price of approximately $55 million. One property is encumbered by debt, and the proceeds from the sale will be used to partially repay ILPT's $700 million loan, which comes due in 2032. We anticipate these transactions to close in the fourth quarter and into early 2026. I will now turn the call over to Mark.
