Operator
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the Six Flags Second Quarter 2022 Earnings Conference Call. My name is Andrew, and I will be your operator for today's call. During the presentation, all lines will be in a listen-only mode. After the speakers' remarks, we will conduct a question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions] Thank you.
I will now turn the call over to Steve Purtell, Senior Vice President, Corporate Communications, Investor Relations and Treasurer.
Steve Purtell
Good morning and welcome to our second quarter 2022 call. With me is Selim Bassoul, President and CEO of Six Flags; and Gary Mick, our Chief Financial Officer. We will begin the call with prepared comments and then open the call to your questions.
Our comments will include forward-looking statements within the meaning of Federal Securities Laws. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in such statements, and the company undertakes no obligation to update or revise these statements.
In addition, on the call, we will discuss non-GAAP financial measures. Investors can find both a detailed discussion of business risks and reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures in the company's annual reports, quarterly reports, and other forms filed or furnished with the SEC.
At this time, I will turn the call over to Selim.
Selim Bassoul
Good morning. I hope you had a great summer. Thank you for joining our call. It is my pleasure to introduce Gary Mick, our new Chief Financial Officer. Gary and I worked together at Middleby where he was responsible for turning around several of our underperforming businesses and was consistently one of the top performing group patents at the company. I'm thrilled to welcome him to Six Flags where he will make an immediate impact as we elevate the guest experience and launch our next phase of profitable growth.
On today's call, we will focus on three areas: first, I will provide a progress report on our new strategy and execution; second, Gary will go into more detail about our financial results, our capital allocation strategy, and our outlook for the remainder of the year; finally, I will return to provide some brief closing remarks before opening the call for questions.
