Operator

Good day, and welcome to the Piedmont Office Realty Trust Incorporated Second Quarter 2024 Earnings Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. After management's prepared remarks, there will be a question-and-answer session.

I would now like to turn the call over to your host, Laura Moon. The floor is yours.

Laura Moon

Thank you, operator and good morning, everyone. We appreciate you joining us today for Piedmont’s second quarter 2024 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 of 2024 that is available for your review on our website at piedmontreit.com under the Investor Relations section.

During this call, you will 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 discussed today. The risks and uncertainties of these forward-looking statements are discussed in our press release as well as our SEC filings. We encourage everyone to review the more detailed discussion related to risks associated with forward-looking statements and our SEC filings.

Examples of forward-looking statements include those related to Piedmont's future revenues and operating income, dividends and financial guidance, future financing leasing and investment activity, and the impacts 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 are based upon the information and estimates we have reviewed as the date the statements 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.
