Brent Collins

Thank you, operator. Good morning. And welcome to the Compass Minerals’ fiscal 2023 second quarter earnings conference call. Today, we will discuss our recent results and update our outlook for the remainder of 2023. We will begin with prepared remarks from our President and CEO, Kevin Crutchfield; and our CFO, Lorin Crenshaw. Joining in for the question-and-answer portion of the call will be George Schuller, our Chief Operations Officer; Jamie Standen, our Chief Commercial Officer; and Chris Yandell, our Head of Lithium

Before we get started, I will remind everyone that the remarks we make today reflect financial and operational outlook as of today's date, May 10, 2023. These outlooks entail assumptions and expectations that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause the company's actual results to differ materially. A discussion of these risks can be found in our SEC filings, located online at investors.compassminerals.com. Our remarks today also include certain non-GAAP financial measures. You can find reconciliations of these items in our earnings release or in our presentation both of which are also available online. The results in our earnings release issued last night and presented during this call reflect only the continuing operations of the business other than amounts pertaining to the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows or unless noted otherwise.

I will turn the call over to Kevin.

Kevin Crutchfield

Thanks Brent. Good morning, everyone. And thank you for joining us today on our call today.

Before beginning the call, I wanted to welcome Jill Gardiner to our board of directors. Jill joined the board last week and brings a wealth of financial and extractive industry experience to our board. We're looking forward to her contributions and insights.
