This has allowed us to raise our full year 2017 per share guidance for the fourth consecutive quarter to normalize FFO per share of $2.33 to $2.35, an increase of over 8% in the guidance range from $2.11 to $2.21 per share or $0.18 at the midpoint from the initial full year 2017 guidance we provided back in October of last year. Dave will provide a more detailed summary of the drivers of our financial performance and key factors impacting our updated full year outlook at the conclusion of my remarks.
