Hyatt Hotels Corp

Good morning and welcome to the Hyatt second quarter 2023 earnings call. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After the speaker's presentation, we will conduct a question and answer session. To ask a question, you'll need to press star followed by the number one on your telephone keypad. As a reminder, this conference call is being recorded. I would now like to turn the call over to Joan Bottarini, Chief Financial Officer. Thank you. Please go ahead.

Thank you and good morning. Welcome to Hyatt's second quarter 2023 earnings call. Before we begin, I'd like to take the opportunity to welcome Adam Roman, who is now leading our investor relations and global financial planning and analysis teams. Adam has been with Hyatt for 19 years and has deep knowledge of the company, most recently overseeing Hyatt's global asset management team. I'd also like to recognize Noah Hoppe, who over the past three years has been instrumental leading Hyatt's investor relations and global FP&A teams. I'm excited to share that Noah has transitioned to a new role, joining our transactions team and supporting our growth strategy. With that, I'll turn the call over to Adam.

Thank you for the warm welcome, Joan. Joining me on today's call are Mark Hoplamazian, Hyatt's President and Chief Executive Officer, and Joan Botterini, Hyatt's Chief Financial Officer. Before we get started, I would like to remind everyone that our comments today will include forward-looking statements under federal securities laws. These statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties as described in our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and other SEC filings. These risks could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by our comments. Forward-looking statements in the earnings released issued today along with the comments on this call, are made only as of today and will not be updated as actual events unfold. In addition, you can find a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures referred to in today's remarks on our website at hyatt.com under the financial reporting section of our investor relations link and in this morning's earnings release. An archive of this call will be available on our website for 90 days. With that, I'll turn it over to Mark. Thanks, Adam, and it's great to have you in your new role.
