Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. (REIT)

Grand Ole Opry star Darius Lutford joined the family in 2012. Here's Darius with Beers and Sunshine, live from the Grand Ole Opry stage. Well, I ain't gonna work today. Just wanna sit around and play. I'm gonna hit miles off the top. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. Don't want to call my girl and say, let's get our friends and hit the lake. Grab a boat and get to float. A little buzz and a little toast. We're going to hang and have a little fun now. Flying high like we'll never come down. We're going to go until we run out of beer and sunshine. Abort fires in summertime. Back porch time to South Carolina. Ain't nothing finer than me and my girl striking up a little lighter. Everybody's down in the world going crazy. Don't know how to fix up a lot. That TV turned on the good times. Turned off the TV. You're the only BS I need. Beer and sunshine.

Please stand by. We're about to begin. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to Ryman Hospitality Properties' second quarter 2024 earnings conference call. Hosting the call today from Ryman Hospitality Properties are Mr. Colin Reed, Executive Chairman, Mr. Mark Fiorvanti, President and Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Jennifer Hutchison, Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Mr. Patrick Chaffin, Chief Operating Officer, and Mr. Patrick Moore, Chief Executive Officer, Opry Entertainment Group. This call will be available for digital replay. The number is 1-800-753-9134 with no conference ID required. At this time, all participants have been placed on listen-only mode. It is now my pleasure to turn the floor over to Jennifer Hutchison. Ms. Hutchison, please go ahead.

Good morning. Thank you all for joining us today. This call may contain forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements about the company's expected financial performance. Any statements we make today that are not statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Words such as believed or expects are intended to identify these statements, which may be affected by many factors, including those listed in the company's SEC filings and in today's release. The company's actual results may differ materially from the results we discussed or project today. We will not update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or any other reason. We will also discuss non-GAAP financial measures today. We reconcile each non-GAAP measure to the most comparable GAAP measure in exhibits to today's release. Please also note that we provided an updated version of the press release this morning that corrects a clerical error that omitted the presentation of pro-rata adjustments from JVs as well as loss on extinguishment of debt in the funds from operations and adjusted funds from operations reconciliation to net income, compared to the prior version of the press release issued on July 31, 2024. The amount of FFO and AFFO for the periods presented are unchanged from the prior version of the release issued yesterday evening. I will now turn the call over to Collin.
