NexPoint Real Estate Finance, Inc.

Good day and welcome to the NextPoint Real Estate Finance second quarter conference call. Today's conference is being recorded. At this time, I would like to turn the conference over to Jackie Graham, Director of Investor Relations and Capital Markets. Please go ahead.

Thank you. Good day, everyone, and welcome to NextPoint Real Estate Finance's conference call to review the company's results for the second quarter ended June 30th. On the call today are Brian Mitz, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Matt McGrainer, Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer, Matt Goetz, Senior Vice President, Investments and Asset Management, and Paul Richards, Vice President for Originations and Investments. As a reminder, this call is being webcast through the company's website at nref.nextpoint.com. Before we begin, I would like to remind everyone that this conference call contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that are based on management's current assumptions, expectations, and beliefs. Listeners should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements and are encouraged to review the company's annual report on Form 10-K and the company's other filings with the SEC for a more complete discussion of risks and other factors that could affect the forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, NREF does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements. This conference call also includes an analysis of non-GAAP financial measures. For a more complete discussion of these non-GAAP financial measures, see the company's presentation that was filed earlier today. I would now like to turn the call over to Brian Mitts. Please go ahead, Brian.

Thank you, Jackie, and thank you to everyone joining us today. On the call, we're going to cover next for the second quarter of 2021, as well as discuss our portfolios and the acquisitions we've made this quarter and year to date and talk about our pilot.
