Thank you, Keith, and thank you, everyone, for joining us on the SECO Environmental Second Quarter 2022 Earnings Call. On the call with me today is Todd Gleason, Chief Executive Officer, Ramesh Nugahalli, Chief Operating Officer, and our recently announced and incoming Chief Financial Officer and Strategy Officer, Peter Johansen. Before we begin, I'd like to note that we have provided a slide presentation to help guide our discussion.

Today's presentation will also include references to certain non-GAAP financial measures. We've reconciled the comparable GAAP and non-GAAP numbers in today's press release, as well as the supplemental tables in the back of the slide deck. Now, with that, I'd like to turn the call to the Chief Executive Officer, Todd Gleason. Todd?

Thanks, Stephen, and good day, everyone. We're going to start with slide number three of the presentation that Stephen mentioned to follow along with our prepared remarks today. We have a number of topics to cover, as always, and this slide provides a high-level summary of today's focus areas. First, today we announced two leadership changes. Matt Echol, who has been our CFO since early 2017, and Pamela Ture, who has been our head of human resources for about four years, will be leaving SECO. I want to thank Matt and Pam for their contributions to our organization. We appreciate all the things they have done to help us advance as a company. We made the decision to hold today's call without Matt, as we both agreed to maintain focus on our excellent second quarter performance and outlook. Matt is working to ensure we have a smooth transition, which is well underway, and I'm sure many of you will stay in touch with Matt. We wish both he and Pam much success. Our finance and HR teams are in great shape and working on transition items. I am also pleased to announce that Peter Johansen will join SECO as our new Chief Financial and Strategy Officer. This is an expanded role and one that fits Peter's unique strengths and tremendous experience. We are driving our platform growth and enterprise-wide strategic development very aggressively. Peter will partner with me and our leadership team to tighten up these growth programs and and ensure we have leading processes to identify and execute investable strategy. Peter brings over 30 years of experience in business development strategy, capital management programs, and other business management analytics. His background includes diverse industrial leaders such as Accudyne, Idex, ITT, Trane, and also Allied Signal Honeywell. I have a few of those names in my career profile, too. Peter has been working with our leadership team as a consultant for about six months as we've been building our M&A pipeline and evaluating market opportunities. While Peter will officially assume CFO duties next week, he is on the call with us today, although Ramesh and I will field today's questions.
