Good morning. Welcome to OLLI's Bargain Outlets conference call to discuss the financial results for the second quarter fiscal year 2022. Currently, all participants are on a listen-only mode. Later, we will conduct a question and answer session, and then interactive instructions will follow at that time. Please be advised that this call is being recorded, and the reproduction of this call in whole or in part is not permitted without express written authorization of OLLI's. Joining us on the call today from OLLI's management are John Swigert, Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, and Eric Vanderflak, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. I will now turn the conference over to your host, Lynn Walter with ICR. Please go ahead.

Thank you. Good morning, and welcome to OLLI's second quarter 2022 conference call. Please note that this call is being recorded. A press release covering the company's financial results was issued this morning, and a copy of that release can be found in the investor relations section on the company's website. I would like to remind everyone that management's remarks on this call may contain forward-looking statements which may include, but are not limited to, predictions, expectations, estimates, and objectives, and intentions. These statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors not in our control that could cause our actual results to differ materially. Any such items, including with respect to our future performance, should be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of today, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise them for any new information or future events. Certain factors that may affect forward-looking statements may not be in our control and are discussed in our FCC filings. We encourage you to review these filings, including our annual report on Form 10-K, and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, as well as our earnings release issued earlier today. On this earnings call, we will be referring to certain non-GAAP financial measures that we believe may be a meaningful measure for investors to assess our operating performance. Reconciliation of these most closely comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures are available in our earnings release. And with that, I will now turn the call over to our President, CEO, and Interim CFO, John Swagger.
