Welcome to the Johnson Controls second quarter 2022 earnings call. [Operator instructions] This conference is being recorded. If you have any objections, please disconnect at this time. I will now turn the call over to Ryan Edelman, vice president, investor relations.
Ryan Edelman -- Vice President, Investor Relations
Good morning, and thank you for joining our conference call to discuss Johnson Controls' second quarter fiscal 2022 results. Press release and all related tables issued earlier this morning as well as the conference call slide presentation can be found on the investor relations portion of our website at johnsoncontrols.com. Joining me on the call today are Johnson Controls' chairman and chief executive officer, George Oliver; and our chief financial officer, Olivier Leonetti. As a reminder, before we begin, during the course of today's call, we'll be providing certain forward-looking information.
We ask that you review today's press release and read through the forward-looking cautionary informational statements that we've included there. In addition, we will use certain non-GAAP measures in our discussions, and we ask that you read through the sections of our press release that address the use of these items. In discussing our results during the call, references to adjusted earnings per share, EBITA and EBIT exclude restructuring as well as other special items. These metrics, together with organic sales and free cash flow, are non-GAAP measures and are reconciled in the schedules attached to our press release and in the appendix to the presentation posted on our website.
Additionally, all comparisons to the prior year are on a continuing ops basis. With that, I will turn the call over to George.
George Oliver -- Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Thanks, Ryan, and good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining us on the call today. I'm going to get started with a brief overview on Slide 3. Our results in the second quarter reflect solid top-line execution as we delivered strong sales, orders, and backlog growth in line with our expectations and at the high end of the guidance we provided.
Demand for digitally enabled equipment and services that solve for sustainability and energy efficiency remains robust. And our sales teams are doing an outstanding job capitalizing on that demand. The reinvestments we have made to develop industry-leading products and solutions are delivering results. Digitization is at the center of our strategic vision for the company, and we continue to advance those strategies every day.
