Each of our business segments posted better results than expected in the first quarter, boding well for the balance of 2021. Our commercial real estate ("CRE") business continued to strengthen thanks to improved tenant performance, with first quarter results reflecting a 17% increase in CRE Net Operating Income ("NOI") over the prior quarter.
