Good morning everyone. Welcome to Shenandoah Telecommunications Second Quarter 2022 Earnings Conference Call. Today's conference is being recorded.

At this time, I'd like to turn the conference over to Mr. Kirk Andrews, Director of Financial Planning and Analyst for Shentel.

Kirk Andrews

Good morning and thank you for joining us. The purpose of today's call is to review Shentel's results for second quarter 2022. Our results were announced in a press release distributed this morning and the presentation we'll be reviewing is included on the Investor page at our website www.shentel.com. Please note that an audio replay of this call will be made available later today. The details are set forth in the press release announcing this call.

With us on the call today are Chris French, President and Chief Executive Officer; Ed McKay, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer; and Jim Volk, Senior Vice President of Finance and CFO. After our prepared remarks we will conduct a question-and-answer session.

As always let me refer you to slide 2 of the presentation, which contains our safe harbor disclaimer and remind you that this conference call may include forward-looking statements subject to certain risks and uncertainties. These may cause our actual results to differ materially from the statements. Therefore, we have provided a detailed discussion of various risk factors in our SEC filings, which you are encouraged to review. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements.

With that, I will now turn the call over to Chris. Go ahead Chris.

Chris French

Thanks Kirk. We appreciate everyone joining us this morning and I hope everyone is staying healthy and safe. Before reviewing the highlights of our second quarter results, I'd like to reflect on our progress over the past few years. We adopted our fiber-to-the-home strategy about four years ago when we identified the Tier 3 and 4 markets were demanding faster broadband speeds, more reliable service and choice of broadband providers.
