Greetings, and welcome to the Lincoln Electric's 2023 Second Quarter Financial Results Conference Call. [Operator Instructions]. This call is being recorded. It is my pleasure to introduce your host, Amanda Butler, Vice President of Investor Relations and Communications. Thank you. You may begin.
Amanda Butler
Thank you, Therese, and good morning, everyone. Welcome to Lincoln Electric's Second Quarter 2023 Conference Call. We released our financial results earlier today, and you can find our release as an attachment to this call's slide presentation as well as on the Lincoln Electric's website at lincolnelectric.com in the Investor Relations section.
And joining me on the call today is Chris Mapes, Lincoln's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer; Gabe Bruno, our Chief Financial Officer; and Steve Hedlund, Chief Operating Officer. Chris will begin with quarterly highlights. Steve will provide a discussion of end market trends and Gabe will cover quarterly financial performance in more detail as well as our 2023 assumption.
Following our prepared remarks, we are happy to take your questions. But before we start our discussion today, please note that certain statements made during this call may be forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially from our expectations due to a number of risk factors. A discussion of some of the risks and uncertainties that may affect our results are provided in our press release and in our SEC filings on Forms 10-K and 10-Q.
In addition, we discussed financial measures that do not conform to U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the comparable GAAP measure is found in the financial tables in our earnings release, which again is available in the Investor Relations section of our website at lincolnelectric.com. And with that, I'll turn the call over to Chris Mapes. Chris?
Christopher Mapes
Thank you, Amanda. Good morning, everyone. Turning to Slide 3. I'm pleased to report we generated another quarter of record results. Record second quarter sales, adjusted operating income profit margin, adjusted earnings per share and cash flow generation all reinforced solid momentum in the business.
