Thank you, Chemaly. Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for joining us. With me on the call today are Tim Cofer, Chief Executive Officer; Niko Lahanas, Chief Financial Officer; J.D. Walker, President, Garden Consumer Products; and John Hanson, President, Pet Consumer Products.
Tim will provide a business update, and Niko will discuss our financial '22 Q2 results in more detail and revisit our outlook for the full year. Following the prepared remarks, J.D. and John will join us for the Q&A. Our press release providing the results for our fiscal '22 second quarter ended March 26, 2022, and related materials are available at ir.central.com, and contain the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation for the non-GAAP measures discussed on this call.
Lastly, unless otherwise stated, all growth comparisons made during this call are against the same period in the prior year. I would like to remind you that statements made during this call, which are not historical facts, including the potential impact of COVID-19 on our business, earnings per share and other guidance for fiscal '22, expectations for new capital investments, product launches and future acquisitions are forward-looking statements subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by forward-looking statements.
These risks and others are described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our annual report on Form 10-K filed on November 23, 2021. The Central undertakes no obligation to publicly update these forward-looking statements to reflect new information, subsequent events or otherwise.
