[Operator instructions] It is now my pleasure to turn the floor over to Victor Falvo, head of capital markets. Please go ahead. Victor Falvo -- Head of Capital Markets Thank you, Tamika. And thank you, everyone, for participating in Chimera's first-quarter earnings conference call. Before we begin, I'd like to review the Safe Harbor statements. During this call, we will be making forward-looking statements, which are predictions, projections or other statements about future events. These statements are based upon current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties, which are outlined in the Risk Factors section in our most recent annual and quarterly SEC filings. Actual events and results may differ materially from these forward-looking statements. We encourage you to read the forward-looking statement disclaimer in our earnings release in addition to our quarterly and annual filings. During the call today, we may also discuss non-GAAP financial measures.
