With us today are John Casella, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Casella Waste Systems; Ned Coletta, our President and Chief Financial Officer; Jason Mead, our Senior Vice President of Finance and Treasurer; and Sean Steves, our Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Solid Waste Operations. Today is our 100th earnings call, which is a nice milestone for us.

I can never sleep the night before these calls, , knowing that I get to read you one of the great works of English literature, but it is time to pass with the time for the next 100 calls. So joining us today as well, Charlie Wohlhuter, our new Director of Investor Relations, who will share with you the drama, the entry, and the raw honesty of the Safe Harbor statement. All years, Charlie?

Charlie Wohlhuter

Thank you, Joe. Today we will be discussing our 2022 second quarter results. These results were released yesterday afternoon along with a brief review of those results and an update on the company's activities and business environment. We will be answering your questions as well. But first, as you know, I must remind everyone that various remarks that we may make about the company's future expectations, plans and prospects constitute forward-looking statements for the purposes of the Safe Harbor provisions under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors, including those discussed in the Risk Factors section of our most recent annual report on Form 10-K, which is on file with the SEC. In addition, any forward-looking statements represent our views only as of today and should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any subsequent date. While we may elect to update forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so even if our views change. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any date subsequent to today.
