Operator
Good afternoon and thank you for attending today's Agilent Technologies, Inc. Q2 2022 earnings conference call. My name is Selena, and I will be your moderator. [Operator instructions].
I would now like to pass the conference over to your host, Parmeet Ahuja, vice president of investor relations. Please go ahead.
Parmeet Ahuja -- Vice President, Investor Relations
Thank you, Selena, and welcome, everyone, to Agilent's conference call for the second quarter of fiscal year 2022. With me are Mike McMullen, Agilent president and CEO; and Bob McMahon, Agilent senior vice president and CFO. Joining in the Q&A after Mike and Bob's comments will be Jacob Thaysen, president of the Agilent Life Science and Applied Markets Group; Sam Raha, president of the Agilent Diagnostics and Genomics Group; and Padraig McDonnell, president of the Agilent Cross-Lab Group. This presentation is being webcast live.
The news release for our second quarter financial results, investor presentation, and information to supplement today's discussion along with a recording of this webcast are available on our website at www.investor.agilent.com. Today's comments by Mike and Bob will refer to non-GAAP financial measures. You will find the most directly comparable GAAP financial metrics and reconciliations on our website. Unless otherwise noted, all references to increases or decreases in financial metrics are year over year and references to revenue growth are on a core basis.
Core revenue growth excludes the impact of currency and any acquisitions and divestitures completed within the past 12 months. Guidance is based on exchange rates as of April 30. As previously announced, beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, we implemented certain changes to our segment reporting structure. We have recast our historical segment information to reflect these changes.
These changes have no im-pact on our company's consolidated financial statements. We will also make forward-looking statements about the financial performance of the company. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and are only valid as of today. The company assumes no obligation to update them.
Please look at the company's recent SEC filings for a more complete picture of our risks and other factors. And now I'd like to turn the call over to Mike.
