Good morning, and welcome to the SpartanNash Company third quarter 2022 earnings conference call. On the call today from the company are President and Chief Executive Officer, Tony Sarsam, and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Jason Monaco.

By now, everyone should have access to the earnings release which was issued this morning at approximately 7:00 AM Eastern Time. For a copy of the earnings release as well as the company’s supplemental earnings presentation, please visit SpartanNash’s website at www.spartannash.com/investors. This call is being recorded and a replay will be available on the company’s website.

Before we begin, the company would like to remind you that today’s discussion will include a number of forward-looking statements. If you will refer to SpartanNash’s earnings release from this morning as well as the company’s most recent SEC filings, you will see a discussion of factors that could cause the company’s actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Please remember SpartanNash undertakes no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements.

The company will also make a number of references to non-GAAP financial measures. The company believes these measures provide investors with useful perspectives on the underlying growth trends of the business and it has included in the earnings release a full reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures, which can be found on SpartanNash’s website at www.spartannash.com/investors.

And it is now my pleasure to turn the call over to Tony.

Tony Sarsam

Thank you, Kayleigh, and good morning, everyone. We're coming off an absolutely epic week at SpartanNash. On Monday, we took our People First culture up a notch with a big Halloween celebration. On Wednesday, we hosted our first Investor Day in New York. I'd like to thank those of you who attended, it was a pleasure getting to know you better and sharing more about our long range plan and company’s strategy.
