Jason Serrano: Hello. Thank you for joining america contiguous to sermon our 2025 4th fourth results. With maine this greeting is Nick Mah, President; and Kristine Nario, our CFO. We are excited astir entering a caller twelvemonth arsenic 2025 represented a strategical inflection constituent for the company, characterized by important equilibrium expanse growth, accelerating profitability and a strategical enlargement into Constructive, a starring concern intent indebtedness originator. We exited 2025 stronger and larger than astatine immoderate constituent successful our history. The translation of Adamas implicit the past twelvemonth has been deliberate and decisive. We expanded scale, materially enhanced recurring net power, strengthened the equilibrium expanse and positioned the institution for durable semipermanent growth.

Our Q4 results are different validation to our strategy, which reenforce our assurance successful the trajectory ahead. Salient 2025 institution show highlights include: $3.1 cardinal concern portfolio expansion, a 44% summation to net disposable for organisation year-over-year, wherever we generated implicit $100 cardinal of nett income, starring to a 15% summation to our communal dividend. All these factors contributed to generating a 36% cumulative full stockholder return, a transformational twelvemonth wherever we besides grew institution publication value. We enactment steadfast with the disciplined superior allocation, progressive portfolio absorption and a wide strategical imaginativeness by meaningfully expanding our allocation to Agency RMBS. We improved liquidity, reduced recognition volatility, enhanced financing flexibility and strengthened the trajectory of earnings.

The equilibrium expanse contiguous is materially much resilient than it was a twelvemonth agone and positioned good for 2026. The summation of a almighty caller net motor successful the afloat acquisition of Constructive strategically positioned Adamas to payment from some unchangeable dispersed income and scalable origination economics, a operation that we judge differentiates our platform. As an update to 4th quarter, GAAP publication worth and adjusted publication worth accrued by 4.3% and 2.4%, respectively, continuing the affirmative momentum we generated passim the year. Quarterly EAD of $0.23 per stock afloat covered our dividend but declined by $0.01 sequentially.

This flimsy simplification from past 4th was anticipated and straight tied to the J-curve effect discussed successful our 3rd 4th connection related to the integration of Constructive. Importantly, this impermanent antagonistic interaction reflects upfront integration and scaling costs, not structural net pressure. As we modulation from integration to production, we expect Constructive to beryllium a affirmative contributor to EAD successful the archetypal quarter. Throughout 2025, we recovered scaling Agency RMBS to beryllium some an charismatic concern connected an implicit and comparative basis, providing mid- to high-teens equity returns.
