The Hain Celestial Group, Inc.

Greetings and welcome to Haines Celestial's second quarter 2022 earnings conference call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. A question and answer session will follow the formal presentation. If anyone should require operator assistance during the conference, please press star zero on your telephone keypad. As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. It is now my pleasure to introduce your host, Anna Kate Heller, Investor Relations. Thank you. You may begin.

Thank you. Good morning, and thanks for joining us on Haynes Celestial's second quarter of fiscal year 2022 earnings conference call. On the call today are Mark Schiller, President and Chief Executive Officer, Chris Belairs, incoming Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and Javier Drogo on his final earnings call as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Haynes. During the course of this call, management may make forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These include expectations and assumptions regarding the company's future operations and financial performance. These statements are based on management's current expectations and involve risks and uncertainties that could differ materially from actual events and those described in these forward-looking statements. Please refer to Haynes Celestial's annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and other reports filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission and its press release issued this morning for a detailed discussion of the risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements made today. The company has also prepared a few presentation slides and additional supplemental financial information, which are posted on Haynes Celestial's website under the Investor Relations heading. Please note, management's remarks today will focus on non-GAAP or adjusted financial measures. Reconciliations of GAAP results to non-GAAP financial measures are available in the earnings release and the slide presentation accompanying this call. This call is being webcast and an archive of it will also be available on the website. And now I'd like to turn the call over to Mark Schiller.

Thank you, Anna Kate, and good morning. On today's call, I'll give some color on our Q2 performance and balance of your forecast, as well as progress against the Hain 3.0 strategy we laid out on Investor Day. Joining me today on the call are Javier Adrovo and Chris Belairs. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Javier for his hard work, his contributions to Hain 2.0, and his assistance in smoothly transitioning all of his duties. I also want to welcome and introduce Chris who officially begins his role as CFO starting tomorrow. I'm very excited to have Chris joining our company and team. He brings a wealth of CPG experience, a deep operating background, and exceptional leadership skills. I look forward to partnering with him on our Hain 3.0 journey.
