Welcome to Manpower Group's second quarter earnings results conference call. You'll be put into listen-only mode until the question and answer time begins. This call is being recorded. If you care to drop off now, please do so. I would like to turn the call over to Manpower Group's chairman and CEO, Jonas Priesing. Sir, you may begin.

Welcome to the second quarter conference call for 2023. Our chief financial officer, Jack McGinnis, is with me today. For your convenience, we've included our prepared remarks within the Ambassador Relations section of our website at mampagroup.com. I will start by going through some of the highlights of the quarter. Jack will go through the second quarter results and guidance for the third quarter of 2023. I will then share some concluding thoughts before we start our Q&A session. And Jack will now cover the safe harbor language.
