Clorox Company (The)

Good day, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Clorox Company second quarter fiscal year 2025 earnings release conference call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. At the conclusion of our prepared remarks, we will conduct a question and answer session. If you would like to ask a question, you may press star 1 on your touchstone pad at any time. If anyone should require assistance during the conference, please press star 0 on your touchstone pad at any time. As a reminder, this call is being recorded. I would now like to introduce your host for today's conference call, Ms. Lisa Burhan, Vice President of Investor Relations for the Clorox Company. Ms. Burhan, you may begin your conference.

Thanks, Jen. Good afternoon, and thank you for joining us. Joining me today are Linda Randall, our Chair and CEO, Kevin Jacobson, our CFO, and Luke Vele, our Treasurer and incoming CFO. I hope everyone has had a chance to review our earnings release and prepared remarks, both of which are available on our website. In just a moment, Linda will share a few opening comments, and then we'll take your questions. During this call, we may make forward-looking statements that are based on management's current expectations, but may differ from actual results or outcome. In addition, these remarks may reflect certain non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to our earnings release, which identifies various factors that could affect forward-looking statements, and provides information that reconciles non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. The risk factors section of the company's Form 10-K also includes further discussion of forward-looking statements. Now I'll turn it over to Linda.

Thank you for joining us today. Before we start the Q&A, I think you all know that we announced a CFO transition last week. I want to take a moment to thank Kevin for his nearly 30 years with Clorox. He has been an essential change agent to our Ignite strategy in transforming our company. I deeply appreciate his partnership, leadership, and countless contributions to Clorox, and I wish him the very best in his retirement later this year. I also want to welcome Luke Belay as he steps into the role of CFO starting on April 1st. Luke is a strong and experienced leader who I've worked with in many roles over my career at Clorox, and I'm confident he'll build on the strong foundation established by Kevin. With that, Kevin, Luke, I'll take your questions.
