Thank you, Ale, and good morning, everyone. Today, I'd like to begin by addressing the geopolitical environment in which we are operating. Trade uncertainty has improved slightly as Europe and Japan have formalized new trade agreements with the U.S., while negotiations between China and the U.S. remain intermittent. On the other side, the U.S. has hardened its stance toward Mexico and Canada, implementing additional sector-specific tariffs outside of the USMCA framework. In this environment, most manufacturing customers remain cautious about expansions and new projects. We've observed some improvement in manufacturing leasing activity in certain markets, and also signs of customers reconfiguring their supply chains to strengthen their presence in the US, seeking political goodwill. Overall, the outlook is constructive, though we continue to monitor developments closely. If a definitive resolution on tariffs doesn't emerge in the next two or three quarters, we believe uncertainty will become the new normal, and customers will begin to move forward incorporating that uncertainty into their business risk assessments. Turning to our consumption-driven markets, Guadalajara and Mexico City continue to perform exceptionally well, fueled by both e-commerce growth and the modernization of supply chains by major retailers. These dynamic markets represent about 50% of our operating portfolio. We continue to see a robust pipeline of customers seeking large, modern spaces to optimize operations, particularly in Mexico City. which accounts for nearly 40% of our activity. E-commerce continues to expand its market share, with leading players making significant investments in new facilities. Thanks to this strong diversification, Fibra Prologis delivered outstanding financial and operational results this quarter. Jorge will provide more details shortly. Talking about market dynamics, New leasing activity totaled 10 million square feet, up sharply from 5 million last quarter, and roughly in line with the 2024 average of 11 million. We saw a rebound in manufacturing markets and a notable uptick in Mexico City. Net absorption reached 7.8 million square feet impacted by move outs in Tijuana, but they're still consistent with the average of the past four quarters. New supply declined 33% versus last quarters to 10 million square feet. But this level was sufficient to increase vacancy by 40 basis points to 5.3%. Construction starts totaled 14 million square feet, reversing the downward trend of the previous two quarters, and nearing a historical record. Market trends were relatively stable this quarter, with consumption markets seeing low single-digit growth, while manufacturing markets were flat to slightly down. Property values were also stable, with marginal cap rate expansion in select submarkets, mainly Tijuana. While headwinds remained on the trade front, customers appear to be gradually making investment decisions in advance of the upcoming USMCA renegotiation. The path ahead may be bumpy, but we expect a constructive outcome. We continue to closely monitor customer sentiment and policy developments to ensure we maximize long-term value for all stakeholders. Turning to the Terrafina acquisition, on October 14, we launched the third tender offer for the remaining 10% at 42.5 pesos per certificate. We are optimistic about the results and expect to provide an update by mid-November when the tender offer closes. By reaching 95% ownership, our intention remains to delist Terrafina. At the same time, we're making solid progress, elevating Terafina's operating standards, bringing contracts to market trends, which has surpassed expectations, and moving forward our disposition and asset recycling goals. We remain fully committed to our shareholders and to always placing their interests first. With that, I'll hand it over to Jorge.
