Greetings. Welcome to Hillenbrand's Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2024 Earnings Call. [Operator Instructions] Please note, this conference is being recorded.
At this time, I'll turn the conference over to Sam Mynsberge, Vice President of Investor Relations. Mr. Mynsberge, you may now begin your presentation.
Sam Mynsberge
Thank you, operator. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to Hillenbrand's Earnings Call for our second quarter of fiscal year 2024. I'm joined by our President and CEO, Kim Ryan; and our Senior Vice President and CFO, Bob VanHimbergen. I'd like to direct your attention to the supplemental slides posted on our IR website that we reference on today's call.
Turning to Slide 3, I remind you that our comments may contain certain forward-looking statements that are subject to the Safe Harbor provisions of the securities laws. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and our actual results could differ materially. Also during the course of this call, we will be discussing certain non-GAAP operating performance measures, including organic comparisons for our segments, excluding the impact from acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency exchange rates. Also, we will be discussing our results on a continuing operations basis which excludes the discontinued operations of Batesville which we divested in February of last year. I encourage you to review the appendix and Slide 3 of the presentation as well as our 10-Q which can be found on our website for a deeper discussion of non-GAAP information, forward-looking statements and the risk factors that could impact our actual results.
With that, I'm going to turn the call over to Kim.
Kim Ryan
Thank you, Sam and good morning, everyone. Thanks for joining us on today's call. We continue to operate in a challenging demand environment as global macroeconomic uncertainty continues to impact customer order decisions across many parts of our business. We'll discuss this further in our updated outlook for the remainder of 2024 but first, I'll give a little more color on the dynamics we're seeing in our segments and the actions we're taking in response to the volume headwinds we're facing.
