Josh Levine

Good afternoon, and thank you for joining us on Sovos Brands' third quarter fiscal year 2022 earnings conference call. On the call today are Todd Lachman, President and Chief Executive Officer; and Chris Hall, Chief Financial Officer.

By now, everyone should have access to the earnings release for the period ended September 24, 2022, that went out this afternoon at approximately 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The press release as well as supplemental slides can be found on the company's website at ir.sogosbrand.com and shortly after the conclusion of today's call, a webcast will also be archived and available for replay.

Before we begin, let me remind everyone that today's discussion contains forward-looking statements based on the environment as we currently see it, and as such, does include risks and uncertainties. If you refer to the company's earnings release as well as its most recent SEC filings, you will see a discussion of factors that could cause Sovos Brands' actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Please remember the company undertakes no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements in the future.

We will make a number of references to non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that these measures provide investors with useful perspective on the underlying growth trends of the business and have included in our earnings release a full reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures.

Lastly, please note that all consumption data cited on today's call will refer to dollar consumption as of the 13 week period ended September 25, 2022, and growth versus the prior year comparable period unless otherwise noted.
