Ventas, Inc.

gentlemen, thank you for standing by and welcome to the Ventus 2022 second quarter earnings conference call. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After the speaker's remarks, there will be a question and answer session. If you'd like to ask a question during that time, please press star one. As a reminder, today's call is being recorded. I will now hand today's call over to BJ Grant, SVP of Investor Relations. Please go ahead.

Thank you, Timmy. Good morning and welcome to the BENTOS Second Quarter Financial Disclosure Conference. Yesterday, we issued our Second Quarter Earnings Relief Supplemental Investor Presentation. Materials are available on the BENTOS website at www.bentos.com. As a reminder, remarks made today may include forward-looking statements and other matters.

Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, and a variety of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such statements. For a more detailed discussion of those factors, please refer to our earnings release for this quarter and to our most recent SEC filings, all of which are available on the Ventas website. Certain non-GAAP financial measures will be also discussed on this call. For reconciliation of these measures to the most closely comparable GAAP measures, please refer to our supplemental posted on the Investor Relations website section of our website. And with that, I'll turn the call over to Deborah A. Cafaro, Chairman and CEO.
