VTR - Earnings call Q2 2026

Thank you for standing by. My name is Greg, and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to today's Ventas Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Call. [Operator Instructions].

I'd now like to turn the call over to BJ Grant, Senior Vice President, Investor Relations. BJ, you have the floor.

Thank you, Greg. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the Ventas second quarter 2026 results conference call. Yesterday, we issued our second quarter 2026 earnings release, presentation materials and supplemental information package, which are available on the Ventas website at ir.ventasreit.com.

As a reminder, remarks today may include forward-looking statements and other matters.

Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, and a variety of topics may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in such statements.

For a more detailed discussion of those factors, please refer to our earnings release for this quarter and to our most recent SEC filings, all of which are available on the Ventas website.

Certain non-GAAP financial measures will also be discussed on this call, and for a reconciliation of those measures to the most closely comparable GAAP measures, please refer to our supplemental information package posted on the Investor Relations website.

And with that, I'll turn the call over to Debra A. Cafaro, Chairman and CEO of Ventas.
