Anne Graffice
Good morning and thank you for joining us for our second quarter 2023 earnings conference call. Our latest press release, supplemental slides and Form 10-Q were posted yesterday evening after market hours. These documents can be found in the Investor Relations section of our website at hofreco.com.
After this brief introduction, Michael Crawford, our President and CEO will give an update on the company's strategy and outlook. Benjamin Lee, Chief Financial Officer, will then provide analysis of the quarter's financial results and an update on the company's fiscal year 2023 financial guidance.
During today's call, we will make forward-looking statements that reflect the company's current expectations about future plans and performance. These statements rely on assumptions and estimates and actual results may differ materially due to risks and uncertainties. I encourage you all to read the full disclosure concerning forward-looking statements in the earnings press release. Additionally, please note that the company uses non-GAAP results to evaluate performance internally as detailed in the press release. We have posted a supplementary slide deck summarizing the quarterly results. These slides can be accessed on our website and will be archived there along with the replay of this call.
It's now my pleasure to turn the call over to our President and CEO, Michael Crawford. Michael?
Michael Crawford
Thank you, Ann. Good morning, everyone. I hope everybody's having a great Friday. It is a really nice day here in Canton, Ohio. I thought before I would start in on the Q2 highlights and some of the results, which by the way, we were very pleased with and encouraged by. It would be -- I'd be remiss not to talk a little bit about Enshrinement Week here in Canton. It was an absolutely spectacular week I think the community did an outstanding job coming together. We had hundreds of thousands of folks descend upon us over a four or five day period of time. There are multiple things that go on here in the city and in the county, from balloon fest, to parades, to fashion shows. There is just a tremendous amount of support for this event. And why not? I mean, it's one of the best events in the world and one of the best events certainly in professional sports we had over 100 previous Hall of Famers return. You can't imagine the excitement and commitment seeing that number of individuals, the greatness that returns here to Canton every single year to support the new enshrines.
