Thank you, Josh. Happy Halloween and welcome everyone to our third quarter call. It was a very solid third quarter for Cube, which resulted in guidance increases across our key same-store and earnings metrics. Across all markets, our existing customer KPIs remain strong, with key credit and attrition metrics remaining consistent within historical normal ranges. We are continuing to field diminishing headwinds from new supply, as the stores placed in service over the last three years lease up and the forward pipeline continues shrinking. As evident by two consecutive quarters of improved guidance expectations, the year has played out a bit better than we expected, which we attribute to the lessening impact of new supply, a more constructive pricing environment during our busy rental season, and the continued health of the consumer. We foresee continued gradual improvement in operational metrics. We are not anticipating a catalyst for a sharp reacceleration. We are prepared and operating under the expectation that the stabilizing trends as well as deliveries of new stores will vary by market. Market level performance was similar to what we have been discussing for the last couple of quarters. Top performers continue to be the more urban, mid-Atlantic, and northeast markets. The east coast of Florida is experiencing stabilizing trends, and some of the Sun Belt markets are still finding their footing. In summary, it's a slow, steady stabilization without a catalyst for rapid acceleration, just like we laid out when we entered the year. We've seen some better pricing power that started earlier in the year. for the reasons I've previously shared. While overall demand levels are mostly stable, but not growing significantly. It takes time for improving fundamentals to flow through to revenue with only four to 5% monthly customer churn. And this was the first quarter since Q1, 2022, where move in rates in the same store portfolio were positive year over year. Assuming these stabilizing trends continue through the end of the year, We should be on improved footing heading into 2026. Now I'd like to turn the call over to our Chief Financial Officer, Tim Martin, for his commentary.
