Good morning, and welcome to the Emerald Holdings Inc. Third Quarter 2022 Earnings Conference Call. Before we begin, let me remind everyone that this call will include certain statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These include remarks about future expectations, beliefs, estimates, plans and prospects. In particular, the company's statements about projected results for 2022 and 2023 are forward-looking statements.
Such statements are subject to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated or implied by such statements. Such risks and other factors are set forth in the company's most recently filed periodic reports on the Form 10-K and Form 10-Q and subsequent filings. The company does not undertake any duty to update such forward-looking statements.
Additionally, during today's call, management will discuss non-GAAP measures, which it believes can be useful in evaluating the company's performance. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measure can be found in the company's earnings release.
As a reminder, this conference is being recorded, and a replay of this call will be available on the Investors section of the company's Web site through 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on November 10, 2022.
I'd now like to turn the call over to Mr. Hervé Sedky, President and Chief Executive Officer. Please go ahead.
Hervé Sedky
Thank you, Paul, and good morning, everyone. I'm pleased to be with all of you today to discuss our third quarter results. We produced another strong quarter, focusing on our core services of live event connections, alongside content and commerce, as our business continues to progress towards pre-pandemic levels.
Our story is simple, we produce industry-leading live business-to-business events and trade shows, which are complemented by our content and SaaS e-commerce offerings, adding to our customers' return on investment. We have several growth levers at our disposal, including: one, the multiyear post-COVID recovery of live events that's taking place; two, our unrelenting focus on customer centricity and satisfaction, which drives retention and opportunity to attract new exhibitors, sponsors and participants; three, pricing, which has always been a tool in our toolkit; four, new event launches; five, continued high-quality mergers and acquisitions; and six, exciting growth from our SaaS e-commerce platform that is complementary to our live events and helps our customers generate higher returns on investment. Combined with our strong balance sheet and tremendous free cash flow characteristics, [technical difficulty] about the future ahead.
