Good day ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the Piedmont Office Realty Trust Second Quarter 2022 Earnings Call. At this time, all participants have been placed on a listen-only mode. And we will open up the floor for questions and comments after the presentation.

It is now my pleasure to turn the floor over to your host, Eddie Guilbert. Sir, the floor is yours.

Eddie Guilbert

Thank you, operator, and good morning, everyone. We appreciate you joining us today for Piedmont's second quarter 2022 earnings conference call. Last night we filed our Form 10-Q and an 8-K that includes our earnings release and our unaudited supplemental information for the second quarter is available for your review on our website at piedmontreit.com under the Investor Relations section.

During this call you'll hear from senior officers at Piedmont their prepared remarks followed by answers to your questions, will contain forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements address matters which are subject to risks and uncertainties and therefore, actual results may differ from those we anticipate and discuss today. The risks and uncertainties of these forward-looking statements are discussed in our press release, as well as our SEC filings.

I encourage everyone to review the more detailed discussion related to risks associated with forward-looking statements in our SEC filings. Examples of forward-looking statements include those related to Piedmont's future revenues and operating income, dividends and financial guidance, future leasing and investment activity and the impact of this activity on the company's financial and operational results. You should not place any undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements and these statements speak as of the date they are made.

Also on today's call representatives of the company may refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as FFO, core FFO, AFFO and same-store NOI. The definitions and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures are contained in the earnings release and in the supplemental financial information which were filed last night.
