Thank you, Kelly, and good morning, everyone. Thanks for joining us today for this Q&A session on our Q2 Fiscal 23 results. I hope you all had time to review the press release, listen to our prepared remarks, and view the presentation materials, which are made available this morning on our IR website. Please do note that in our Q&A session, we may make forward-looking statements that are based on our current views and assumptions. Please refer to this morning's press release for factors that could impact forward-looking statements and for reconciliations of non-GAAP information, which will be discussed on today's call. I'm here with Jeff Harmoning, our chairman and CEO, Kofi Bruce, our CFO, and John Doody, group president of our North America retail segment. Let's get to the first question, Kelly, so please get us started. Thanks.
