Farmland Partners Inc.

Thank you for standing by. My name is Gail and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the Farmland Partners Incorporated Q4 and fiscal year 2024 earnings call. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After the speaker's remarks, there will be a question and answer session. If you would like to ask a question during this time, simply press star followed by the number one on your telephone keypad. If you would like to withdraw your question, kindly press star one again. I will now turn the call over back to Luca Fabri, President and CEO of Farmland Partners. Please go ahead.

Thank you, Gail. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to Farmland Partners' full year 2024 earnings conference call and webcast. We truly appreciate your taking the time to join us for these calls because we see them as a very important opportunity to share with you our thinking and our strategy in a format somewhat less formal and more interactive than public filings and press releases. I will now turn over the call to our general counsel, Christine Garrison, for some customary preliminary remarks. Christine.

Thank you, Luca, and thank you to everyone on the call. The press release announcing our fourth quarter earnings was distributed after market closed yesterday. The supplemental package has been posted to the investor relations section of our website under the subheader events and presentations. For those who listen to the recording of this presentation, we remind you that the remarks made herein are as of today, February 20th, 2025, and will not be updated subsequent to this call. During this call, we will make forward-looking statements, including statements related to the future performance of our portfolio, our identified and potential acquisitions and dispositions, impact of acquisitions, dispositions, and financing activities, business development opportunities, as well as comments on our outlook for our business, rents, and the broader agricultural markets. We will also discuss certain non-GAAP financial measures, including net operating income, FFO, adjusted FFO, EBITDA RE and adjusted EBITDA RE. Definitions of these non-GAAP measures, as well as reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures, are included in the company's press release announcing full-year 2024 earnings, which is available on our website, farmlandpartners.com, and is furnished as an exhibit to our current report on Form 8K, dated February 19, 2025. Listeners are cautioned that these statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond our control. These risks and uncertainties can cause actual results to differ materially from our current expectations, and we advise listeners to review the risk factors discussed in our press release distributed yesterday and in documents we have filed with or furnished to the SEC. I would now like to turn the call over to our Executive Chairman, Paul Pittman. Paul?
