Good morning, ladies and gentlemen and thank you for standing by. Welcome to the Wingstop Inc. Fiscal Second Quarter 2022 Earnings Conference Call. All participants will be in listen-only mode. [Operator Instructions] Please note this event is being recorded today, Thursday, July 28, 2022.

I would now like to turn the conference over to Susana Arevalo, Vice President of EP&A [ph] Investor Relations. Please, go ahead.

Susana Arevalo

Thank you and welcome to the fiscal second quarter 2022 earnings conference call for Wingstop. On the call today are Michael Skipworth, President and Chief Executive Officer; and Alex Kaleida, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

Our fiscal second quarter 2022 results were published earlier this morning and are available on our Investor Relations website at ir.wingstop.com.

Our discussion today includes forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from what we currently expect. Our SEC filings describe various risks that could affect our future operating results and financial condition. We use certain non-GAAP financial measures that we believe can be useful in evaluating our performance. Presentation of such information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations to comparable GAAP measures are contained in our earnings release.

Lastly, for the Q&A session, we ask that you please each keep to one question and a follow-up to allow as many participants as possible to ask a question.

With that, I would like to turn the call over to Michael.

Michael Skipworth

Thanks, Susanna, and good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining us. Our second quarter results demonstrated the resiliency and underlying strength of the Wingstop brand and continue to give us confidence in our long-term growth strategy to expand Wingstop into a top 10 global restaurant brand.
