Thank you, Alex. Good morning and welcome to 22nd Century's second quarter earnings conference call. Joining me on the call today are; Jim Mish, our Chief Executive Officer; Hugh Kinsman, our Chief Financial Officer; and John Miller, who leads our Tobacco Business.
Earlier today, we issued a press release announcing our results for the second quarter 2022. We will start today's call with prepared remarks from Jim, John and Hugh before moving into a Q&A session.
During our prepared remarks, we will be referring to slides, which are available for viewing in the webcast and posted in Investors section of our website at xxiicentury.com under the Events subheading. We hope these files will serve as a framework for management's prepared remarks, reinforce key takeaways and provide additional transparency and insight into our business, strategy and objectives.
Also, those of you joining by webcast can submit questions through the online interface which we may include during the Q&A section of today's call, time permitting.
Slide two. Before we begin, some of the statements made today are forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by these statements. Additional information regarding these factors can be found in our annual, quarterly and other reports filed with the SEC.
During this call, we also will discuss non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA, which we define as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as adjusted for certain non-cash and non-operating expenses. For more details on these measures, please refer to our press release issued earlier today.
