Thank you, Kevin, and good morning. On today's call, I will begin with an overview of our portfolio before discussing OPI's second quarter leasing and disposition activity. From there, Brian will review our financial results and outlook. As of June 30, 2025, OPI's portfolio included 125 properties totaling 17.3 million square feet with a weighted average remaining lease term of 6.8 years. We ended the quarter with same property occupancy of 85.2%. Approximately 59% of our revenues come from investment-grade rated tenants or their subsidiaries. The U.S. government is our largest tenant, representing 17.1% of our annualized revenue. As we have long telegraphed, OPI's financial performance has materially declined as leasing challenges in the office sector have persisted. Specifically, annualized revenue of $398 million is down $85 million, or nearly 18% compared to a year ago. Interest expense in the second quarter of $53 million is up $14 million, or 37% year over year. We have little room under our debt covenants, which restricts us from refinancing or issuing new debt. Nearly $280 million in debt principal payments are due in 2026, and our total liquidity is $90 million of cash. Despite these ongoing challenges, we continue to lease and operate our properties while simultaneously exploring options to address our financial commitments and reduce costs. To that end, earlier this month, OPI's Board of Trustees made the decision to suspend the quarterly dividend, allowing us to preserve approximately $3 million of cash annually. Turning to leasing activity. In the second quarter, we executed 15 leases totaling 416,000 square feet at a weighted average lease term of 5.4 years and at rental rates that were 6.4% higher than prior rental rates for the same space. Renewals accounted for two-thirds of our activity and secures over $7 million in annualized revenue. Concessions and capital commitments of $3.53 per square foot per year declined 24% quarter over quarter. We have 1.3 million square feet of leases scheduled to expire through 2026, representing $30 million or 7.6% of OPI's annualized rental income. The majority of these expirations are related to single-tenant properties and we expect 742,000 square feet or $11.2 million of annualized revenue will not renew. Today, our leasing pipeline totals 2 million square feet, of which over 60% is attributable to renewal discussions. Any leasing that results in positive net absorption will likely come from our multi-tenant properties where the infrastructure and building amenities to attract new tenants already exist. Turning to dispositions. Earlier this month, we sold one property totaling 56,000 square feet via auction for $2.2 million excluding closing costs. As property valuations continue to decline and the potential buyer pool targeting office acquisitions is limited, dispositions remain challenging. We have found that transaction timelines have significantly lengthened and often require a relaunching of marketing efforts as buyers are unable to transact. Despite these dynamics, we continue to evaluate disposition opportunities that may mitigate occupancy risk and reduce the carrying costs associated with vacant properties. I will now turn the call over to Brian.
