Thank you. Good morning. This is Shawn Collins the Director of Investor Relations at Harley-Davidson. Welcome to our Q3 2022 Earnings Call. You can access the slides supporting today's call on the Internet at the Harley-Davidson Investor Relations website. As you may expect, our comments will include forward-looking statements that are subject to business risks that could cause actual results to be materially different. Those risks include, among others, matters we have noted in our latest filings with the SEC.
Joining me this morning are Chief Executive Officer, Jochen Zeitz; and Chief Financial Officer, Gina Goetter. In addition, Chief Commercial Officer, Edel O’Sullivan, will join for the Q&A portion of today’s call.
With that, let me turn it over to our CEO, Jochen Zeitz.
Jochen Zeitz
Thank you, Shawn, and good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. Harley-Davidson delivered a strong third quarter and we are very pleased with our performance despite the supply chain challenges we experienced especially early in the quarter due to the production suspension. We believe we are well positioned to achieve our guidance for this year and tackle and adjust to changes in the market environment to achieve our Hardwire Stage II plans.
The strength and desirability of the Harley brand continues to grow, and in uncertain times, we believe it's the strong brands powered by strong communities that are able to deliver better results. Harley-Davidson has taken the other powerful brands as the most desirable motorcycle company in the world.
In May, we laid out our ambitions for future growth and we continue to deliver against our five year Hardwire strategic plan focusing on our pillars of profit, selective expansion and redefinition, leading in electric, growth beyond bikes, integrated customer experience and inclusive stakeholder management.
