Tom Majewski: Thank you, Peter, and welcome, everyone, to Eagle Point Income Company's fourth quarter earnings call. We appreciate your interest in Eagle Point Income Company or EIC. If you haven't done so already, we invite you to download our investor presentation from our website at eaglepointincome.com, which I'll refer to in a portion of my remarks. I'd like to start off by saying that the fourth quarter capped off a great 2023 for the company. We had another quarter-over-quarter increase in our portfolio cash flows, our NAV increased and our net investment income, again, comfortably exceeded the monthly common distributions that we paid. Frankly, our portfolio is doing exactly what it's designed to do in an elevated rate environment, generate more cash for our shareholders.
