Thank you, and good morning. With me today is Omega's CEO, Taylor Pickett, President, Matthew Gorman, CFO, Bob Stevenson, CIO, Vikas Gupta, and Megan Krull, Senior Vice President of Operations. Comments made during this conference call that are not historical facts may be forward-looking statements such as statements regarding our financial projections, potential transactions, operator prospects, and outlook generally. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are detailed in the company's filings with the SEC. During the call today, we will refer to some non-GAAP financial measures, such as NAREIT FFO, Adjusted FFO, FAD, and EBITDA. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable measure under generally accepted accounting principles are available in the quarterly supplement. In addition, certain operator coverage and financial information that we discuss is based on data provided by our operators that has not been independently verified by Omega. I will now turn the call over to Taylor.

Thanks, Michelle. Good morning, and thank you for joining our third quarter 2025 earnings conference call. Today, I will discuss our third quarter financial results and certain key operating trends. Third quarter adjusted funds from operations, AFFO, of 79 cents per share, and FAD, funds available for distribution, of 75 cents per share, reflect strong revenue and EBITDA growth, principally fueled by acquisitions and active portfolio management. Our dividend payout ratio has dropped to 85% for AFFO and 89% for FAD. We again raised and narrowed our 2025 AFFO guidance from a per share range of $3.04 to $3.07 per share up to $3.08 to $3.10 per share, which reflects our strong third quarter 2025 earnings. The $3.09 per share midpoint of our 2025 AFFO guidance range represents 8% year-over-year AFFO growth versus 2024 AFFO of $2.87 per share. Turning to the portfolio, our occupancy and coverage metrics continue to improve with EBITDA coverage at its highest level in 12 years. Furthermore, as expected, the below one times rent coverage bucket has dropped to 4.3% of total rent with the expectation of further improvement and all but one below one times operator paying full contractual rent. I will now turn the call over to Matthew.
