Good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining our earnings call. The third quarter marked the turning point for LPA. We posted another quarter of strong financial and operating results, and at the same time, we executed one of the most consequential steps in our company's history. A comprehensive monetization program that is turning a substantial part of our balance sheet into cash, validating the value of our platform, and securing funding for our expansion in Mexico. During the quarter, we closed the sale of our Lima Sur Park in Peru and agreed to sell Bodegas Aurora in Costa Rica. Shortly after quarter end, we announced the sale of our Calle Ochenta Park in Colombia to Ban Colombia. Together, these three transactions total just over $300 million, roughly 42% of our gross property value, at a weighted average premium of nearly 10% to 12% to appraise value, depending on how FX is accounted for. In brief, we are monetizing mature assets in Peru, Costa Rica, and Colombia, and will redeploy the proceeds primarily into Mexico. And yet, LPA's shares trade well below both book value and the cash we hold per share. I will come back to this dislocation later in my remarks, because closing it is a central focus of ours. Operationally, we delivered yet another outstanding quarter, and our financial results underscore the sound fundamentals and sustained earnings power of our regional logistics platform. Meanwhile, we continued working toward geographically rebalancing our property portfolio with the aim of accelerating its expansion and driving higher risk-adjusted returns while emphasizing a capital-like model. It was our fourth consecutive quarter of 100% occupancy. We also maintained robust top-line momentum, with revenue growing just over 19.3% to $15.4 million. Peru and Colombia led the way again. Their revenues increased 45.1% and 45.7%, respectively. This growth continued to be driven by resilient leasing activity and new tenants. Colombia's reported revenue also benefited from the rising peso, as Paul will explain. Higher rental rates on renewals and releasing during the quarter reflect the structurally low supply of Class A logistics facilities in Peru and Colombia, coupled with still strong tenant demand. Stronger market rents also supported our Costa Rican parks, where revenue grew 4.2%, reflecting the full stabilization of our facilities there. That rent growth compounds on top of long-term low-cost financing. The cost of debt in our Costa Rica portfolio is roughly 5.25% on a 21-year remaining tenor, a rate that compares favorably with U.S. Treasuries of similar maturity. Also, contributing to our top-line growth was a full quarter of revenue from our facilities in Puebla, Mexico. These same market dynamics also drove our net operating income higher. It increased 21.1% to $12.6 million, while same property NOI grew 11.9% to almost $10 million. Our pricing power is evident in the rent per square foot that we command. It averaged $9 in the quarter, up 10.6% versus last year. Even as we expand LPA's multi-market footprint, the growth in our G&A expenses remained well below revenue growth, helping drive our operating leverage. This quarter, G&A grew at a faster pace than in previous quarters, driven by one-time professional fees related to the closing of the $145 million sale of our Lima Sur Logistics Park in Peru. Let me now walk you through our asset monetization program, what it reveals about the value of LPA and how we are putting the proceeds to work. As we've said on previous calls, we have a new value lever, selling select optimized assets and reinvesting the proceeds in new logistics facilities that we acquire or develop. In effect, these sales are a self-funding growth engine that broadens our options and reduces our exposure to any single market. We executed a program of this scale across three countries in a matter of months. While the pace of the sales may seem fast, it reflects groundwork laid well before execution, namely satisfied and high-quality tenants, high-performing assets, a house in order, and a strong network of relationships. That preparation enabled us to move decisively when we approached potential buyers, despite a volatile interest rate and macroeconomic backdrop. The $152 million all-cash sale of Arcadio Centa Park to Ban Colombia, Colombia's largest bank, is our largest asset sale to date. I'd highlight three points. First, because the Colombian peso has appreciated markedly in recent months, the exchange rate when we signed the sale agreement was roughly in line with the average rate at which we developed the park, so FX leakage was mitigated. Second, with a sharp rise in Colombia's interest rates this year, the park's floating rate mortgage had risen to approximately 700 basis points above the cap rate at which we sold, and could have stayed there for some time. Accordingly, repaying the equivalent of $55 million in debt at closing will meaningfully lower our interest expense, which made the sales timing especially advantageous. Third, we retained pad-ready locations within the park, suitable for over 1 million square feet of additional GLA, and would also earn a facilities management fee equal to 1.5% of rental revenues, both of which allow us to keep participating in Columbus Growth. Taken together, the three asset sales were priced at a blended in-place cap rate of approximately 7.7%. This is the key takeaway. The independently appraised values on our balance sheet have now been validated in cash by three different buyers in three different markets. That is no accident. It speaks to the quality of the assets we develop, their strategic locations in supply-constrained markets, the excellence with which we operate them, and our largely multinational blue-chip tenant base. This brings me to the dislocation in our share price. LPA's book value per share is roughly $8.86 as of September 30, 2026, a value now supported by real transactions and cash in our balance sheet. Yet, our shares trade at less than one-third of book value. They also trade below our cash per share of approximately $3.84, excluding restricted cash. And the net proceeds from the three sales alone, after repaying related debt and taxes, amount to approximately $4.30 per share. Simply put, our share price is far from reflecting the value we have just demonstrated, and we believe that gap is completely disconnected from LPA's fundamentals. So let me be clear about how we are allocating the new capital, because one framework drives every decision we make. We are turning a portion of LPA's net asset value into cash and putting that cash to work in Mexico at returns above our cost of capital. We believe this is a matter of scale, and the devaluation discount should close through continued execution, a larger free flow, and relentless focus, which matters a great deal in our business. With the closing of the Lima Sur sale, we retired approximately $60 million of asset-level debt, and once Cagliocenta closes, we will also have retired the equivalent of $55 million in Colombian-Peso debt. Of the approximately $137 million in net equity proceeds, the majority will go to Mexico, where we have sourced a deep and promising investment pipeline. While Mexico will receive most of this capital, we still see highly attractive opportunities in our foundational markets. That includes the $85 million that LPA and the consortium of three institutional investors will deploy over the next three years to develop a new 1.1 million square foot logistics park that will be located on the Panamericana Sur Highway in Peru. This Class A park will offer direct highway access and connectivity to Lima's primary logistics and distribution routes, which are used by multinational companies, third-party logistics providers, retailers, and e-commerce operators, among others. Our co-investment with local equity partners to build this park is structured on a capital-like basis, an approach we seek to replicate. In the case of the Panamericana Sewer Park, LPA's investment gives us an 11% equity stake, including the capitalization of development fees, and we will have full control of the assets. This structure lets us leverage the equity of our domestic capital sources native to geography to make such investments. We take that privilege seriously. It reflects the strength of LPA's operating platform, our reputation in the market, and our role in leading the park's development, stabilization, and management of its ongoing operations. For which we will earn annual fees. It is important to note that given the scarcity of Class A logistics space in this part of Lima and persistently high demand for it, we expect to prelease each of the four buildings that will eventually make up the park, effectively de-risking its construction. In practice, we often know the tenants, rent levels, and expected returns of the leases before construction of a facility begins. Moreover, the facilities that we will add to our regional portfolio until little additional overhead, a dynamic that further expands our margins. This is also true for the property management fees that we will receive, an income stream that will increasingly contribute to our top line. To summarize the Panamericana SURE project, we are reinvesting some of the funds through our capital-like model after crystallizing profits in Peru by selling our Lima SURE property. And we are investing alongside recognized institutional investors who see significant value in owning a part of LPA's expanding platform of strategically located Class A assets. I'd like to emphasize that our partner-centric investment model is also capital-efficient. We are selling mature assets at lower cap rates than we expect to earn on the facilities we acquire or develop. Lima Sur, for example, sold at a cap rate just above 7%, while we intend to invest the new assets yielding 8% to 9% and under more accretive financing, keeping U.S. dollar exposure and arguably retaining a similar asset and tenant profile. That spread is the additional value we're capturing for our shareholders by selectively taking profits on optimized assets within our portfolio. It is also the most efficient source of equity available to us, rather than issuing shares at a discount or over-leveraging our balance sheet. We are often asked whether, given today's share price, we should return capital through buybacks or a special dividend. It is a fair question, and the board reviews capital allocation regularly. Buybacks look compelling on paper, but they are a one-time benefit and would shrink LPA's free float, which could reduce trading liquidity and potentially widen the valuation discount rather than close it. That is why our mandate is to thoughtfully reinvest these proceeds in value-enhancing growth, primarily in Mexico, and that is why we are not contemplating a buyback or dividend at this time. That said, the company reserves the right to revisit this position at any time as conditions evolve. By contrast, deploying capital in Mexico at a yield on cost of 8% to 9%, financed with prudent leverage that sits 150 to 200 basis points below that yield, builds recurring NOI and scale, helping LPA establish itself as a steady value compounded. That, in our view, is the sustainable path to narrowing the gap. Mexico will be integral to our cross-border network of logistics facilities, as it's a major market for many of our current and future clients. As a reminder, our business model and competitive advantage center on offering a seamless multi-market logistics solution to global and regional companies operating and expanding within our markets. LPA is the only public company that provides a solution in the four countries where we operate. Our regional platform offers these companies the uniform building standards they need to operate efficiently, the same high level of service, and the single point of contact across Mexico, Costa Rica, Colombia, and Peru, enabling any company to scale its operations with reduced friction. We're balancing LPA towards Mexico. It's at the heart of our investment and expansion plans, as we've discussed previously, and our Mexico expansion program is now better funded than ever. The country offers us a long growth runway and higher returns. There too, we will leverage our extensive network of relationships to co-invest with other institutional investors. Our current focus remains on Mexico's supply constrained submarkets along the Highway 57 corridor. Where we will quickly establish a foothold with the new Central Park 57 property, or CP57, as we like to call it. It will offer over 2.1 million square feet of GLA and represent a roughly $200 million investment. The park is located in Tepeji del Rio, along a key USMCA and Mexico City logistics corridor. Highway 57 is a vital trade route that carries approximately 40% of Mexico's cargo to the U.S. border. Central Park 57 also provides efficient connectivity to the greater Mexico City area, as well as three economically important states, which together account for 35% of Mexico's consumers. All of this makes CP57 a central hub for Mexico's largest logistics supply market. Our new dedicated team for the park has been lining up requests for proposals. We will announce the closing of leases as they are executed. Beyond the strong interest we are seeing in the park, we are encouraged by the low vacancy rates in the area and rents that are increasing at a faster rate than those in Mexico City. Our investment in CP57 spares us the exposure of developing this park on our own, from buying land to managing construction at this point in the cycle. Systematically acquiring stabilized facilities within this large and modern park is both financially efficient And the catalyst to scale our presence in Mexico. In addition to the stabilized facilities that we will gradually purchase within CP57, we intend to acquire and develop other properties along the Highway 57 corridor. With the use of forward purchases, pre-leasing, and partnerships, we plan to manage risk while we expand in Mexico to capitalize on growth in e-commerce, domestic consumption, and nearshoring. Due to the ongoing shift in global and regional supply chains, we also see emerging opportunities in Mexico's electronic sector, especially in AI-related infrastructure and equipment. Data centers are also rapidly becoming a new source of demand for our asset class, as the supply chains that feed them are expected to shift meaningfully toward the Western Hemisphere. With that, I'll turn the call over to Paul, who will review our third quarter results in more detail.
Thank you, Esteban, and good morning, everyone. I'll begin with providing a little more detail about the strong growth momentum that LPA's platform maintained in Peru and Colombia in the third quarter. In Peru, the 45.1% growth in revenue mainly reflected incremental rent from PepsiCo, which occupied the new building in Arcayao Park in the fourth quarter of last year. Alicorp, another recent tenant in the park. It's also among the many blue-chip companies that make up LPA's tenant base. In Colombia, the 45.7% revenue increase was primarily driven by Pricemart, which leaves space in Cayo Ochenta that had been unoccupied in the third quarter of last year. Since third quarter 2025, occupancy within LPA's entire platform increased 2.1 percentage points to 100%. Contractual inflation adjustments also contributed to growth in Colombia. It's important to note that Colombia's revenue benefited again this quarter from the appreciation of the peso, which increased dollar-translated revenue by 20%. Excluding the benefit of stronger peso, Colombia's revenue would have increased 16.2%. Leasing at higher rental rates at our Costa Rica facilities produced a 4.2% increase in third-quarter revenue in that market. As Esteban pointed out, that growth was comparatively slower than in Peru and Colombia, due to the 100% stabilization of those facilities in 2025 and 2026. Rounding out revenue, our Mexican facilities, which we acquired in August of last year, Contributed rental revenue the entire third quarter of this year. Turning to our operating expenses, they increased 54.6%. Much of that was due to commencing operations at new buildings in our Callao Park, which brings additional administrative and operating expenses, among other costs. Other factors were the appreciating peso in Colombia, which increased its reported cost in dollar terms, and higher taxes at our La Verbena Park due to the local municipality's reassessment of its value, as we previously communicated. I'd like to reiterate what Estellen said earlier. The growth in our platform's revenue was proportionately higher than the growth in its operating expenses, a dynamic that boosted our operating leverage. And NOI in the third quarter. Net operating income increased just over 21% to $12.6 million. The higher occupancy coupled with positive mark-to-market leasing spreads across our markets accounted for the bulk of that growth. Excluding the Colombian Pest Appreciation, our NOI would have increased 14.2% to $11.9 million. Our third-quarter cash NOI was $12.6 million, up 20.6% year-over-year. Higher operating leverage was also reflected in our general and administrative expenses. At $4.7 million, they were 30.3% of revenue versus nearly 35% in last year's quarter. We expect to dilute G&A even further by the end of the year. As our largely pre-leased development portfolio of 400 and 1,000 square feet begins coming online. Additionally, as we scale our multi-market platform with new logistics facilities in Peru and Mexico next year, and continue capturing higher market rates across it, you can expect additional G&A dilution in 2027 and beyond. Moving to our platform's operating GLA, it grew 2.2% to 5.7 million square feet, complemented by the 10.6% increase in average rent per square foot. Our list GLA increased 4.1% to 6.1 million square feet. We reported $10.2 million increase in investment property valuation gain. Which reflects the fair assessment of our building 500 land leasing Callao Park. Higher valuation gains are Costa Rica Verbena and Coyol 1 and 2 parks, resulting from a reduction in capitalization rates, as well as a remeasurement of the land bank at our Cayo Chenta Park. Lastly, a few words about our financing costs, which increased roughly 104% to $10.1 million. That increase primarily reflects prepayment penalties on bank debt that had funded our Lee Masur Park, the sale of which closed in the third quarter. To be clear, these were one-time costs. Before we open the call for questions, a quick reminder that most of LPA's debt is at the property level, and that we service it through contracted and mostly dollar-based revenues generated by a diverse base of blue-chip clients. That concludes our review of the third quarter results. Operator, please open the call for questions.

Hey, good morning, guys. Congrats on another terrific quarter. I was just wondering if you can maybe go into a little bit more detail in terms of how should we think about the Mexico build-out and the cadence of investments and the cadence of acquisitions going forward, just in terms of timing, if there's any color that you can provide on that.
Hi, Eric. Good morning. Thank you for joining the call. Stay on here. Look, regarding the deployment pace into Mexico, I think it's a very interesting time. I think we will see 2027 as a transformational year for that deployment. So we want to be patient, disciplined, and underwriting, being more selective, especially as we have had changes in interest rate and macro dynamics. Thanks, but this is opening up an interesting setup for us as we look into opportunities. So I would say that we would target the entire of 2027 to re-employ that capital into the market. It's hard to pinpoint exactly which quarters things are going to close, but I can tell you that we have a very broad opportunity set and very promising. Entry yields and unit economics, I would say, with, you know, keeping true to our colors in terms of tenant quality, asset location, underlying industry, et cetera. So that's how we're shaping those decisions around capital deployment.
Okay. And just for Paul, just a couple of questions. You mentioned the, I guess, the one-time prepayment penalties. In your financing costs, do you have any more color? Just, you know, what exactly, what was the amount?
Absolutely. Thank you, Eric, for that. So, one of the lines that we prepaid had a prepayment condition that basically imposed a cost of about $1.3 million on the prepayment as a whole. So, that's basically what happened.
Okay, so of the, I mean, it was a pretty significant increase, I guess, quarter to quarter, but the prepayment was only $1.3 million of the increase?
Correct. And as I said, most of the increase was for that. And bear in mind that when we do, when we liquidate a loan, There's also other costs that go into it, such as costs that were capitalized initially. So those get recognized in financing costs as well. And that will be the rest of it. But the prepayment penalty, per se, was only $1.3 million.
Okay. And then just a question on the balance sheet. I know Lima, sir, closed right at the end of the quarter. So on the balance sheet, there's a financial liability. Equal to the cash that you took in, is that going to go away in the fourth quarter, or will that still show up on the balance sheet going forward?
So the answer to that, Eric, is that's going to remain our balance sheet. We're going to continue reporting the results for PLS or Limassour for the foreseen four years. The reason behind that, Eric, is we have an option to repurchase the asset. So from an accounting perspective, instead of a sale, the transaction is treated as a financing. It's important to note that while the asset is going to keep on revaluing itself using the same methodology we use for IFRS purposes, which is basically getting an independent appraiser to value the asset, the liability will recognize essentially what will be the cost of exercising that option, which in this case is basically US CPI. That's the cost of that loan or that liability over the initial price that was paid by the buyer of the assets.
Okay, great. Okay, thanks, guys. Look forward to catching up in a little while. Thank you for your questions.
A reminder, if you would like to ask a question, please press star 1 to raise your hand. To withdraw your question, press star 1 again. Your next question comes from the line of Brendan McCarthy with Sidoti. Your line is open. Please go ahead.
Great. Good morning, everybody. Thanks for taking my questions here. I just wanted to ask a quick follow-up on the planned Mexico deployment of capital. Are you seeing any hurdles there with potentially deploying capital into those stabilized assets, or are there any? I guess, hurdles that investors should be aware of as you think about the timing there.
Hi, Brian. Thank you. Estevan here. We are not foreseeing any specific hurdles other than the fact that we do want to have a very mindful policy regarding sectors that are more exposed to the exporting sector. And that's something we want to ensure that it's not going to be affected by any change in tariffs. And that is why we are prioritizing logistics-focused domestic consumption assets, such as the one we have in CP57. That can evolve and can actually open opportunities. The other element, and we're starting to see glimmers of that, is The fact that interest rate paths are probably going to take longer to come down and maybe continue reversing as they have over the last few months, maybe that opens the door for more shorter term capital that probably needs a solution, meaning we can be the buyers and take that off, you know, with a different price, of course. So we are seeing actually not, I wouldn't say hurdles, but there's probably going to be a time of readjustment of. Price expectations as these things progress. So it is a great time to have cash at hand. And frankly, our balance sheet has never been better positioned as we look into Mexico and continue sourcing and looking for more investments in the country.
Understood. I appreciate the additional detail there. And I wanted to ask about NOI margins, specifically in Peru and Colombia. I think they were down very modestly on a sequential basis. Can you talk about the increases in property op-ex there? I know certain assets in Peru continue to stabilize, but maybe you can give us some detail on what property op-ex increase and which ones you're able to ultimately pass along to tenants and which ones you have to incur.
Particularly in Peru. In Peru, what we have, Brendan, and thank you for that question, is, yeah, as you mentioned, we initiated the leasing of some buildings, and that's basically having an impact on the one-time expenses we have on the park. Normally, when we deliver a warehouse, there's always... Some initial costs and increased expenses to make sure that the operation runs smoothly on receiving the new tenant. And so those typically reflect themselves on the quarter that we do those things and going forward. But normally they disappear within, I would say, in the. In the next six to nine months. So that's the main impact in Peru. It's basically driven by El Callao. And as you know, we're already starting on leasing the last building for that park. So that's basically what's been reflected there. And in the case of Colombia. The largest impact was essentially the impact of the FX as well on the expenses. So that's basically what's driving the increases there. As you know, some of that FX impact is also impacting inflation, and so that's also impacting the expenses we have at the asset level, and that's basically the explanation for it.
Got it. Okay, that makes sense. And then when you look at Columbia, With the Cal A80 asset being sold, and I know you mentioned that you retained a meaningful land bank to potentially develop on in the future. I think it was over a million square feet of GLA. But had you prioritized that opportunity versus Mexico? I guess, which would you rank ahead there in terms of returns that you expect?
Brian Estana here. So we definitely prioritize Mexico. Let me be clear about that. Colombia is important. We retain the land bank. It is valuable. It is within the same part where we monetize the operating assets to Ban Colombia. And we still control that site. It is interesting. It is, you know, we have continued partnership with Bancolombia there because we will be also earning fees on what we operate for them. Right now, I would say as one, there's a fiscal reform underway in Colombia. We want to know how that may or may not shift incentives. And second, the fact that interest rates remain high. We don't see that necessarily reverting, you know, over the next year, and the strategy there is to source third-party capital to develop the land that we own, meaning we would contribute the land. Offer our development services, continue operating, leasing, and by that way, we would consider developing. It doesn't eliminate the interest rate setup I just described, but it does make us consider developing there only if our hurdles are met. And right now, Mexico is offering much more sensible unit economics, I would say. Hopefully that's clear.
Yes, that's very helpful. Thanks, Esteban. That's all for me.
Ladies and gentlemen, there are no further questions at this time. With that, we will be concluding today's question and answer session. I would now like to turn the call over to Esteban for closing remarks.
Thank you, Operator. I'd like to leave everyone with a few key takeaways from today's call. First, the third quarter marked a turning point for LPA. Alongside strong financial results, we are monetizing roughly 42% of our gross property value at an aggregate premium to appraise value, affirming the underlying worth of our platform. Second, Going into the final quarter of the year, LPA's multi-market platform continues to clearly demonstrate its solid fundamentals and substantial earnings power. Third, with the three asset sales now completed or under agreement, we are accelerating a self-funding growth engine that's a new value lever at LPA, one that's fueled by the capital we are unlocking through these sales. It is capital that we will mainly invest in targeted high-growth sub-markets in Mexico, where the structural supply of Class A facilities is and remains constrained. We'll be co-investing with local institutional investors, and we are redeploying some of that capital to develop new parts, such as the one that we just announced in Panamericana Sur Highway in Lima. Soon, we will also begin acquiring facilities along Mexico's main trade routes and integrals, which are integral to the country's distribution network. We find some markets where our target customers are locating markets that are... That offer risk-adjusted opportunities, attractive risk-adjusted opportunities, such as the Highway 57 corridor, which have similar attributes and are now a priority for us as we deploy capital into Mexico. Accordingly, we're keeping a keen eye on capital efficiency, and with a robust growth pipeline in place, we will expand methodically in this country, which we expect will become a key geography of LPA's unique multi-market offering, and one that really multiplies our opportunity set. We are patient and disciplined with our shareholders' capital, focused on compounding value over time. And we are evolving as a developer and owner of industrial real estate into a capital-like and capital-efficient platform, one that acquires, develops, operates, monetizes, and reinvests alongside local institutional partners who are long-term oriented. Fourth, we also believe that as the equity market recognizes this, as well as the compounding strength of our integrated platform, the steep discount in LPA shares relative to book value will begin to close. We're also taking concrete steps to improve our visibility and trading liquidity. We now issue news on a stadia cadence, as our recent announcements show. We're expanding our investor outreach, including through investor conferences. And in addition to our existing coverage, we are actively seeking additional analyst research. In short, the value of our assets has been validated in cash, and our growth plans in Mexico have solid funding in place. Ready to be deployed into a promising opportunity set. We're very excited about what lies ahead for LPA and our shareholders. Thank you again for your continued trust, support, and for joining our call. We look forward to seeing you on our next earnings call and wish you a good day.
Thank you. This concludes today's conference call. You may now disconnect.
