Operator

Good morning. My name is Fran, and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I'd like to welcome everyone to the Victoria's Secret & Company's Second Quarter 2023 Earnings Conference Call. Please be advised that today's conference is being recorded. All parties will remain in a listen-only until question-and-answer session of today's call.

I now would like to turn the call over to Mr. Kevin Wynk, Vice President of External Financial Reporting and Investor Relations at Victoria's Secret & Company. Thank you, sir. You may begin.

Kevin Wynk

Thank you, Fran. Good morning, and welcome to Victoria's Secret & Company's second quarter earnings conference call for the period ending July 29, 2023.

As a matter of formality, I would like to remind you that any forward-looking statements we may make today are subject to our safe harbor statement found in our SEC filings and in our press releases.

Joining me on the call today is CEO, Martin Waters, and CFO, Tim Johnson. We are available today for up to 45 minutes to answer any questions.

Certain results we discuss on the call today are adjusted results and exclude the impact of certain items described in our press release and our SEC filings. Reconciliations of these and other non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are included in our press release, our SEC filings and the investor presentation posted on the Investors section of our website.

Thanks. And now I'll turn the call over to Martin.

Martin Waters

Thanks, Kevin, and good morning, everyone.

As we've shared consistently inside and outside the business, we're laser focused on the three pillars of our long-term strategy: number one, to strengthen the core; number two, to ignite growth; and number three, to transform the foundation of our company. We've defined and are delivering initiatives in each pillar, and we believe these will steadily provide profitable growth into the future.
