Operator

Good day, everyone. My name is Todd, and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the Second Quarter 2023 Li-Cycle Holdings Earnings Call and Webcast. [Operator Instructions] Thank you. I will now turn the call over to Nahla Azmy, Head of Investor Relations. Please go ahead.

Nahla Azmy

Thank you. Good morning, and thank you, everyone, for joining us today for Li-Cycle’s review of our business and financial results ended June 30, 2023. We will start today with formal remarks from Ajay Kochhar, Co-Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer; Tim Johnston, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman; and Debbie Simpson, Chief Financial Officer. We will then follow with the Q&A session. Ahead of this call, Li-Cycle issued a press release and a presentation, which can be found on the Investor Relations section of our website at investors.li-cycle.com.

On this call, management will be making statements based on current expectations, plans, estimates and assumptions, which are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of Li-Cycle. Actual results could differ materially from our forward-looking statements if any of our key assumptions are incorrect, including because of factors discussed in today’s press release, during this conference call and in our past reports and filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Ontario Securities Commission in Canada.

These documents can be found on our website at investors.li-cycle.com. We do not undertake any duty to update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, made during this call or from time-to-time to reflect new information, future events or otherwise, except as required.

With that, I’m pleased to turn the call to Ajay.

Ajay Kochhar

Thank you, Nahla, and good morning, everyone. I’m excited to discuss the progress our team has made during the second quarter as we continue to advance the implementation of our Spoke & Hub network strategy. Li-Cycle continues to capitalize on strong secular trends and supportive government policy. Our plans to grow our network will position Li-Cycle to become the top global recycling producer of lithium carbonate and key battery-grade materials establishing Li-Cycle in a leading role in the electrification ecosystem.
