Senior VP & Chief Accounting Officer

Thank you, and welcome to CareTrust REIT's First Quarter 2026 Earnings Call. We will make forward-looking statements today based on management's current expectations, including statements regarding future financial performance, dividends, acquisitions, investments, financing plans, business strategies and growth prospects. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to materially differ from our expectations. These risks are discussed in CareTrust REIT's most recent Form 10-Q filing with the SEC. We do not undertake a duty to update or revise these statements, except as required by law.

During the call, the company will reference non-GAAP metrics such as EBITDA, FFO and FAD. A reconciliation of these measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is available in our earnings press release and Q1 2026 financial supplement that are available on the Investor Relations
