Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for standing by. Welcome to the American Express Q1 2022 earnings call. [Operator instructions] As a reminder, today's call is being recorded. I would now like to turn the conference over to our host, head of investor relations, Ms.
Vivian Zhou. Please, go ahead.
Vivian Zhou -- Head of Investor Relations
Thank you, Alan, and thank you, all, for joining today's call. As a reminder, before we begin, today's discussion contains forward-looking statements about the company's future business and financial performance. These are based on management's current expectations and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these statements are included in today's presentation slides and in our reports on file with the SEC.
The discussion today also contains non-GAAP financial measures. The comparable GAAP financial measures are included in this quarter's earnings materials, as well as the earnings materials for the prior periods we discussed. All of these are posted on our website at ir.americanexpress.com. We will begin today with Steve Squeri, chairman and CEO, who will start with some remarks about the company's progress and results; and then Jeff Campbell, chief financial officer, will provide a more detailed review of our financial performance.
After that, we will move to Q&A on the results with both Steve and Jeff. With that, let me turn it over to Steve.
Steve Squeri -- Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Thanks, Vivian, and good morning, everyone. Welcome to our first quarter earnings call. At our investor day last month, we took you through a detailed discussion of our strategies for driving sustainable growth across our businesses and explain why we are confident we can achieve our growth plan aspirations for 2024 and beyond. As we said then, our confidence is based on three interrelated factors: the success of the strategy we've been pursuing over the past several years, which focuses on investing in our brand, customers, value propositions, coverage, technology, and talent to build share, scale, and relevance; the momentum we've been generating through the effective execution of that strategy; and a number of structural shifts in the payment industry that are contributing to our momentum.
