Welcome to the Dentsply Sirona first quarter 2022 results conference call. [Operator instructions] Please note, this event is being recorded. I would now like to turn the conference over to Andrea Daley, vice president of investor relations. Please go ahead.
Andrea Daley -- Vice President, Investor Relations
Thank you, Anthony, and good morning, everyone. Welcome to our first-quarter earnings call. Joining me for today's call is John Groetelaars, our chief executive officer; and Barbara Bodem, our CFO. I'd like to remind you that an earnings call press release and slide presentation related to the call are available in the Investors section of our website at www.dentsplysirona.com.
Before we begin, please take a moment to read the forward-looking statements in our earnings press release. During today's call, we may make certain predictive statements that reflect our current views about future performance and financial results. We base these statements and certain assumptions and expectations on future events that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Our most recently filed Form 10-K and any updating information in subsequent SEC filings lists some of the most important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ from our predictions.
In today's conference call, our remarks will be based on non-GAAP financial results. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about financial performance of our business, enable the comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independently of business performance and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating our business. Please refer to our press release for the reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP results. And with that, I will now turn the call over to John.
John Groetelaars -- Chief Executive Officer
Thank you, Andrea, and thank you all for joining us this morning for the Q1 earnings call. Today, we will cover four items. I'll start with an overview of the first quarter. Barb will cover the quarter's preliminary financial results and our updated '22 outlook, and then I will finish by providing a strategic operating update.
Before we begin, let me start with why I'm excited to be here and why I took the role as interim CEO. I joined Dentsply Sirona's board because of the value I believe the company can create for its shareholders over the near, medium and long term. First, the company plays in an attractive category with real growth opportunities. Macro trends are supportive, and those who can innovate, leverage global scale and execute judiciously will emerge as long-term winners.
