Thank you, Nick, and good afternoon, everyone. Let me start off by saying we had a good quarter. Revenues were up across all segments, just as EBITDA grew approximately 47% year over year, and we delivered net income of $2.6 million against the loss a year ago. Corporate expenses were down significantly. More than half of that reduction reflects the absence of last year's non-recurring costs. But setting those aside, corporate expenses are still down 18% for the first six months of the year, highlighting the cost savings measures that we put in place. This quarter's revenue growth was led by the Dato Properties 1B land sale, which contributed $6.9 million in revenues. That transaction reinforces our commitment to Tejon Ranch Commerce Center as our nucleus of growth. With it, we are moving forward on our joint venture with Dato on a 510,000 square foot Class A industrial building. Walls are being tilted up this week. It's a good illustration of our land monetization model, which is contributing our land to a joint venture Retaining an ongoing economic interest and growing our income-producing portfolio with minimal net capital outlay. It's also worth noting that we committed to the project while much of the industrial market was sitting on the sidelines. The fundamentals in Southern California are now improving as we anticipated, positioning us well for an early 2027 delivery. We are also continuing to see traffic and sales increase at our outlets and revenues increase at our travel centers. do impart to the halo effect from the Hard Rock Casino to home. In addition, July produced the strongest new leasing performance in nine months at our Terra Vista apartments. With that, I'm going to turn it over to Robert to walk through the financials, and then I'll offer my thoughts on some important topics.
