Operator

Good day and thank you for standing by. Welcome to the Second Quarter 2023 Sonoco Earnings Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] Please be advised that today's conference is being recorded.

Lisa Weeks

Thank you, Operator, and thanks to everyone for joining us today for Sonoco's second quarter '23 earnings call. Joining me this morning are Howard Coker, President and CEO; Rob Dillard, Chief Financial Officer; and Rodger Fuller, Chief Operating Officer.

Last evening, we issued a news release highlighting our financial performance for the second quarter, and we prepared a presentation that we will reference during this call. The press release and presentation are available online under the Investor Relations section of our Web site at www.sonoco.com.

As a reminder, during today's call we will discuss a number of forward-looking statements based on current expectations, estimates, and projections. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties. Therefore actual results may differ materially. Please take a moment to review the forward-looking statements on Page 2 of the presentation. Additionally, today's presentation includes the use of non-GAAP financial measures, which management believes provides useful information to investors about the company's financial condition and results of operations. Further information about the company's use of non-GAAP financial measures, including definitions as well as reconciliations to GAAP measures, is available under the Investor Relations section of our Web site.

For today's call, Howard will begin by covering a summary of second quarter '23 performance. Rob will then review our detailed financial results for the quarter, and along with Rodger Fuller, we'll discuss our guidance update for the full-year 2023. Howard will then provide closing comments, followed by a Q&A session.

If you will turn to slide four in our presentation, I will now turn the call over to our CEO, Howard Coker.
