Whirlpool Corporation

of Investor Relations, Corey Thomas. Thank you, and welcome to our second quarter conference call. Joining me today are Mark Bitzer, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Jim Peters, our Chief Financial Officer, and Joe Liatini, our Chief Operating Officer. Our remarks today track with a presentation available on the Investor section of our website at whirlpoolcorp.com. Before we begin, I want to remind you that as we conduct this call, we'll be making forward-looking statements to assist you in better understanding Whirlpool Corporation's future expectations. Our actual results could differ materially from these statements due to many factors discussed in our latest 10-K, 10-Q, and other periodic reports. We also want to remind you that today's presentation includes non-GAAP measures. We believe these measures are important indicators of our operations. As a food item, they may not be indicative of results from our ongoing business operations. We also think the adjusted measures will provide you with a better baseline for analyzing trends in our ongoing business operations. Additionally, price increases or pricing actions referenced throughout this call reflect previously announced cost-based price increases. Listeners are directed to the supplemental information package posted on the Investor Relations section of our website for the reconciliation of non-GAAP items to our most directly comparable GAAP measures. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. Following our prepared remarks, the call will be open for analyst questions. I'll turn the call over to Mark.

Before I get into results,

I'd like to step back and share with you the progress that we're making structurally improving Whirlpool for the better.
