Taylor Krafchik
Thank you, operator, and welcome.
With me on the call today are William J. Rouhana, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment; and Chris Mitchell, Chief Financial Officer to review the second quarter 2022 results, as well as provide a business update.
Following this discussion, there will be a moderated Q&A session open to participants on the call. During this call, management will make forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding expectations, intentions and strategies regarding the future. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from projected results.
Given these uncertainties, listeners are cautioned to not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements contained in this conference call. Please refer to the cautionary text regarding forward-looking statements contained [Technical Difficulty]. Additional risk disclosures can be found in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
On today’s call, management will make comments on certain GAAP-based and non-GAAP pro forma financial information. The non-GAAP financial measure that the Company uses is adjusted EBITDA. Management believes that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information and that it excludes amounts that are not indicative of the Company’s core operating results and ongoing operations and provides a more consistent basis for comparison between periods.
The earnings release contains a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income or loss, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. For further information regarding the Company’s historical financial performance, financial condition, and operational and other information and risks, please refer to our filings with the SEC, including our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, which will be filed tomorrow.
