standing by. My name is Eric, and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I'd like to welcome everyone to the Krispy Kreme second quarter 2024 earnings call. I would now like to turn the call over to Dre Eldridge, Krispy Kreme Investor Relations.

Please go ahead. Thank you. Good morning, everyone.

Welcome to Krispy Kreme's second quarter 2024 earnings call. Thank you for joining us today. We will be referencing our earnings release and presentation during the call. These are available on our investor relations website at investors.crispycream.com. Joining me on the call this morning are President and Chief Executive Officer Josh Charlesworth and Chief Financial Officer Jeremiah Ishukian. After prepared remarks, there will be a question and answer session. Before we begin, I would like to remind you that this call contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to the Safe Harbor provisions of the Private Securities and Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements of expectations, future events, or future financial performance. Forward-looking statements involve a number of inherent risks and uncertainties, and we caution investors that these risks could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. These factors and other risks and uncertainties are described in detail in the company's Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2023, and in other filings we make from time to time with the SEC. Forward-looking statements made today are only as of today. The company assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, except as may be required by law. Additionally, today's call will include certain non-GAAP financial measures, a reconciliation between non-GAAP financial measures and our closest comparable GAAP measures, can be found in our second quarter 2024 earnings press release and Form 8K, filed today with the SEC, and is also available at our investors.crispycream.com website. Jeremiah will take us through our financial performance in a moment, but first, here's Josh.
