•Total income from real estate increased by $44.8 million to $756.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the corresponding period in the prior year.

•Total operating expenses increased by $30.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. The provision for credit losses, net, increased by $28.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
