Thanks, Dan. Good afternoon and good morning to our colleagues in Asia, and thank you for joining our call today. I'll provide some brief comments, then we'll go to the Q&A. Our results continue to reflect the pandemic's impact. Heightened restrictions directly impacted our results in both Macau and Singapore this quarter. We did generate positive EBITDA for the quarter in both markets and remain confident in eventual recovery in both Macau and Singapore. Singapore gaming operations were closed for a portion of the quarter and enhanced restrictions were in place throughout the remainder of the quarter. The good news in Singapore is that travel quarters are being established with a number of source markets which hopefully will contribute to the stronger recovery over time. Our considerable investments in Macau continue to take shape. As the market recovers, we believe that four seasons in London will present growth opportunities in the future. The spending in Macau has proven both resilient at the premium mass level from both a gaming and a retail perspective. You can see on page 29 and 30 in your deck. We have great optimism about our ability to perform to a pre-pandemic level once visitation does return. Our company is divided into three areas. Most important is the Asia portfolio in Macau and Singapore. We remain confident we will return to a strong positive cash flow in both Macau and Singapore in the future as restrictions are eased and travel and tourism recover. The sale of our Las Vegas assets create liquidity and optionality as we pursue large-scale land-based destination resorts in both the US and Asia. We will continue to build out our digital presence. We're exploring multiple opportunities we'll face here at the appropriate time in the future. So thanks for your time again today. Let's go to the questions. Dan?
