Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for standing by. Welcome to the 3M second quarter earnings conference call. [Operator instructions] As a reminder, this conference is being recorded, Tuesday, July 26, 2022. I would now like to turn the call over to Bruce Jermeland, senior vice president of investor relations at 3M.
Bruce Jermeland -- Senior Vice President, Investor Relations
Thank you, and good morning, everyone, and welcome to our second-quarter earnings conference call. With me today are Mike Roman, 3M's chairman and chief executive officer; Monish Patolawala, our chief financial and transformation officer; and Kevin Rhodes, our chief legal affairs officer. Please note that Mike's and Monish's formal comments this morning will be longer than past quarters given the announcements that we made this morning. Therefore, when we get to Q&A, please keep it to one question and one follow-up so that we can try and get to everyone as efficiently as possible.
Also note that today's earnings release and slide presentation accompanying this call are posted on the homepage of our Investor Relations website at 3m.com. Please turn to Slide 2. Please take a moment to read the forward-looking statement. During today's conference call, we will be making certain predictive statements that reflect our current views about 3M's future performance and financial results.
These statements are based on certain assumptions and expectations of future events that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Item 1A of our most recent Form 10-K and 8-K lists some of the most important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ from our predictions. Please note throughout today's presentation, we will be making references to certain non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures can be found in the appendix to these slides and in the attachments to today's press release.
With that, please turn to Slide 3, and I'll now hand the call off to Mike. Mike?
Mike Roman -- Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Thank you, Bruce. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us. Today is an exciting and important day for 3M. We are positioning our company for future success by creating more opportunity while reducing uncertainty.
We plan to spin off our healthcare business, which will result in two world-class public companies that are global leaders with significant growth opportunities in their respective markets. We intend to execute a tax-free spin-off, creating a global diversified healthcare technology leader. New 3M will remain a leading global material science innovator, serving customers across a range of diverse and attractive end markets. Each company will be well capitalized, more agile and focused and well-positioned for long-term success.
