Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation

Good morning. Thank you for standing by and welcome to the Booz Allen Hamilton's earnings call covering second quarter results for fiscal year 2022. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. Later, there will be an opportunity for questions. I would now like to turn the call over to Mr. Lloyd Howell, Executive Vice President, CFO, and Treasurer of Booz Allen Hamilton.

Thank you. Good morning and thank you for joining us for Booz Allen's second quarter fiscal year 2022 earnings announcement. As some of you know, our head of investor relations, Ruben Day, recently left the company to pursue other opportunities. We thank him for his contributions and wish him well. Our vice president and chief accounting officer, Laura Adams, has stepped in as interim head of investor relations. which she will oversee while also maintaining her ongoing role. Laura has been a finance executive with the firm for over a decade, overseeing many areas of corporate finance, including governance, financial and treasury oversight, and risk mitigation. She has played a vital role for me and our leadership team in our strategic decision-making around our capital allocation and M&A plans and our investment thesis more recently. With that, I turn the call over to Laura.

Thank you, Lloyd, for that introduction. I'm excited to support the team and get to know our valued investors and analysts even more. And good morning, everyone. We hope you've had an opportunity to read the press release that we issued earlier this morning. And we have also provided presentation slides on our website and are now on slide two. As shown on the disclaimer on slide three, please keep in mind that some of the items we will discuss this morning will include statements that may be considered forward-looking and therefore are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which may cause our actual results in future periods to differ materially from forecasted results. Those risks and uncertainties include, among other things, general economic conditions, the availability of government funding for our company's services, and other factors discussed in today's earnings release and set forth under the forward-looking statements disclaimer included in our second quarter fiscal year 2022 earnings release and in our SEC filings. We caution you not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements that we may make today. and remind you that we assume no obligation to update or revise the information discussed on this call. During today's call, we will also discuss some non-GAAP financial measures and other metrics, which we believe provide useful information for investors. We include an explanation of adjustments and other reconciliations of our non-GAAP measures to the most comparable gap measures in our second quarter fiscal year 2022 slides. It is now my pleasure to turn the call over to our CEO, Horatio Rozanski. We are now on slide four.
