So with that overview I'd like to now discuss our Q2 highlights.

I am pleased with our second quarter results which underscore the strength of our business model and the continued disciplined execution across our operations.

I'd like to now share our perspective on the general business environment.

Industry fundamentals continue to gain strength highlighted by the multi-decade demographic tailwind that is now beginning to work its way into the long-term and post-acute care system.

In 2026 the first of the baby boomers are turning 80 years old and by the year 2030 all 70 million plus boomers will be over the age of 65 with the oldest being in their mid-80s, the primary age cohort for long-term and post-acute care utilization.
