speaker
D.J. Bush
President and Chief Executive Officer

Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us. Inventrust delivered in another solid quarter, supported by continued strength of our portfolio and the consistency of our operating platform. Cash flow is growing, leasing activity and tenant retention remain strong, and our signed but not open pipeline continues to convert into occupancy and cash flow. Same property net operating income growth accelerated to 4.1% in the second quarter, while year-to-date narrate FFO per share increased 11% and core FFO per share increased approximately 9%. Retailer demand remains concentrated in well-located open-air necessity-based centers and limited new supply continues to provide a favorable backdrop for long-term rent growth. Our first half results, combined with the visibility we have from contractual rent growth, lease commencements, and redevelopment activity, continue to support our full year outlook. Mike will walk through our financial results in more detail in a few moments. We made strong progress executing our external growth strategy during the first half of 2026. To date, we have acquired six properties and one out parcel at an existing center for approximately $290 million. A key part of that activity has been expanding into emerging Sunbelt markets such as Charleston, Greensboro, and Knoxville. Importantly, we're finding opportunities not only in our existing markets, but also in adjacent complementary markets where our operating model and retail relationships give us confidence that we can create long-term value. These markets offer many characteristics we value, including population growth, household formation, relative affordability, and strong retailer demand. For us, they are a natural extension of our strategy, allowing us to expand while remaining disciplined and focused on the fundamentals that have driven our success thus far. This activity represents strong progress toward our full year net investment guidance. Our acquisition pipeline remains active and our balance sheet provides the flexibility to pursue additional investments where risk adjusted returns are compelling. As we continue to grow, Thank you. Thank you. While local market expertise, tenant relationships, and disciplined decision making will always remain at the center of our business, these tools will help us operate more efficiently and support our long-term growth. In closing, our priorities remain clear. Continue owning high-quality, necessity-based retail centers, thoughtfully expand across our core and complementary emerging Sunbelt markets, maintain a disciplined balance sheet, and leverage the strength of our platform to drive sustainable growth in cash flow, net asset value per share, and long-term shareholder value. With that, I'll turn the call over to Mike.
