It was incorporated in 2024 and is headquartered in New York City. The company operates through three segments: Hospitality, Entertainment, and Landlord Operations. The Hospitality segment includes fine dining and casual dining restaurants, cocktail bars, and nightlife venues under brands like The Fulton, Mister Dips, Carne Mare, Malibu Farm, Gitano, and The Lawn Club. The Entertainment segment owns the Las Vegas Aviators Triple-A Minor League Baseball team, the Las Vegas Ballpark, Fashion Show Mall Air Rights, and handles events and concerts. The Landlord Operations segment manages physical real estate assets such as restaurant, retail, office, and entertainment properties, as well as residential units. Financially, the company has a market capitalization of about $361 million, with revenues per share of $9.50, but it is currently unprofitable with negative margins. Key financial ratios indicate challenges: negative return on equity, negative operating cash flow, and high debt levels. The company's CEO is Matthew Morris Partridge, though Anton D. Nikodemus has also been noted as President and CEO in some sources. The company has 627 full-time employees. Seaport Entertainment was formed as a spin-off from Howard Hughes Holdings, completing its separation in August 2024. The company aims to deliver unparalleled experiences at the intersection of entertainment and real estate, focusing on creating destination venues in prime urban locations.

Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash.

Operator: Greetings. Welcome to the Seaport Entertainment Group Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Call. [Operator Instructions] Please note, this conference is being recorded. I will now turn the conference over to Jason Wilk, Senior Vice President of Finance. Thank you, Jason. You may begin.
Jason Wilk: Thank you, operator, and good morning, everyone. With me today is our President and Chief Executive Officer, Matt Partridge; and our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, Lenah Elaiwat. Before we begin, I'd like to remind everyone that many of our comments today are considered forward-looking statements under federal securities law. The company's actual future results may differ significantly from the matters discussed in these forward-looking statements, and we undertake no duty to update these statements. Factors and risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations are disclosed from time to time in greater detail in the company's Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and other SEC filings. You can find our SEC reports, earnings release quarterly supplemental information and our most recent investor presentation on our website at seaportentertainment.com. With that, I will turn the call over to Matt.
Matthew Partridge: Thanks, Jason, and good morning, everyone. On our last earnings call, I described the first quarter as a turning point for our company, and I'm excited to start today's call by sharing an important milestone for Seaport Entertainment Group. In the second quarter of 2026, we achieved positive operating EBITDA and positive non-GAAP adjusted net income for the first time in the company's history. This quarter's results reflect continued momentum since our inception, representing our seventh consecutive quarter of double-digit non-GAAP adjusted net income per share improvement and a 103% year-over-year improvement in Q2 as the highest comparable quarter of per share improvement during our 2-year existence. Our progress and improving trajectory towards profitability are a direct reflection of the work our team has been doing since our spin-off to stabilize the company and its operations. While we're proud of that financial results are beginning to reflect the hard work put in by our team, we want to maintain balanced expectations. Timing of new tenant openings, scheduling nuances related to our event, concert and baseball operations and the general seasonality of our businesses all create variability quarter-to-quarter. As a result, the next 3 quarters should show year-over-year improvement, but may not result in the same level of per share performance we achieved this quarter. As our tenants and new businesses open and stabilize, our events business continues to grow, and we realize the full year benefits of the changes we've made to improve our organizational efficiency, we anticipate an improved earnings profile in 2027 and even more so in 2028. This is further supported by the fact we have more than 194,000 square feet of …
