Greetings. Welcome to the Graham Corporation Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results. [Operator Instructions] Please note, this conference is being recorded.

I will now turn the conference over to your host, Debbie Pawlowski, Investor Relations for Graham Corporation. You may begin.

Debbie Pawlowski

Thank you, Shamali, and good morning, everyone. We certainly appreciate your time today and your interest in Graham Corporation. Here with me on the call are Dan Thoren, our President and CEO; and Chris Thome, our Chief Financial Officer.

You should have a copy of the second quarter fiscal 2024 financial results that were released earlier this morning. If not, you can find that release, along with slides and supplemental sales orders and backlog information on our website at ir.grahamcorp.com. We will reference the slides during our presentation today. Dan and Chris are going to provide their formal remarks, after which we will open the line for questions.

So if you will turn to Slide 2, I will review the safe harbor statement. You should be aware that we may make some forward-looking statements during the formal discussion as well as during the Q&A session. These statements apply to future events that are subject to risks and uncertainties as well as other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from what is stated here today.

These risks and uncertainties and other factors are provided in the earnings release as well as with other documents filed by the company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You can find those documents on our website or at sec.gov. During today's call, we will also discuss some non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these will be useful in evaluating our performance.

However, you should not consider the presentation of this additional information in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. We have provided reconciliation of non-GAAP measures with comparable GAAP measures in the tables that accompany today's release and slides. We also use key performance indicators to help gauge the progress and performance of the company. These key performance metrics are orders, backlog and book-to-bill.
