Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining the call. The broader economic backdrop continues to provide a solid foundation for investment activity within the real estate sector. With dislocation in certain parts of the corporate credit market appearing, we are observing a marginal trend of capital allocation oriented towards real estate credit. As we have observed at the start of the year, the combination of increased dry powder, a 10-year treasury hovering just above 4%, and favorable real estate fundamentals should be drivers of continued growth investment activity for TRTX. Increased transaction volume is the essential catalyst for true price discovery, and as more real estate assets trade, investors can more clearly triangulate where valuations have reset, replacing speculation with hard market-clearing data. While we are almost four years removed from when the Fed began hiking rates, this price transparency forms the backdrop for what is shaping up to be an incredibly active year for both borrowers and lenders. 2025 was an important turning point for TRTX. We closed $1.9 billion of new investments, drove 25% year-over-year growth in earning assets, and generated distributable earnings of $0.97 per share, which out-earned our dividend for the year. Furthermore, we were able to achieve this while maintaining stable risk ratings, further diversifying our liability structure, and ending the year where they were 100% performing loan portfolio. From a recent investment perspective, the fourth quarter was incredibly active with $927 million of new loans closed, consisting of 62% multifamily and 38% industrial collateral, two thematic sectors that we continue to target. As a testament to the strength of our franchise, this quarter's investment activity was not only one of the most active quarters we've had since the company's founding, but over 90% of our new originations were with repeat borrowers. This demonstrates our deep relationships within the real estate ecosystem, further enhanced by the depth and breadth of TPG's real estate debt and equity investment platform. Capital markets velocity remains healthy on our balance sheet, as we received just under $1 billion of repayments this past year. Driven by the robust volume of newly originated loans in 2025 and the repayment of older vintage loans, our balance sheet has undergone a substantial evolution. For context, at the beginning of 2022, 30% of our balance sheet was exposed to multifamily and industrial collateral, whereas today we have increased our combined exposure to those sectors to over 72% of our current balance sheet. In recent years, we've been able to accomplish this transformation toward newer vintage loans while generating consistent earnings and maintaining a steady credit profile. From a liability perspective, we continue to grow our lender relationships, optimize our existing capital structure, and are fortunate to have recently issued two series CLOs in 2025, which afford the company ample reinvestment capacity over the next two years at an attractive cost of funds. While we are proud that 2025 was a year where we delivered on our strategic goals, we remain laser-focused on continuing to build on the success in 2026. With the insights of TPG's real estate investment platform, combined with a stable balance sheet and attractive opportunity set, we are confident in our ability to deliver continued strong performance. Tactically, we plan to continue to pull the many levers for growth at our disposal, which include continued net asset growth through prudent investment and risk management, increasing our leverage ratio towards our target of full investment, and utilizing untapped liquidity. In summary, the offensive posture we were able to embrace this year is a direct result of the strategic approach we laid out years ago. Our performance in 2025 has set a high bar, and we enter 2026 with the capital of the team and the momentum to continue to drive value for our shareholders. With that, I will turn the call over to Brandon to discuss our financial results in more detail.
