Operator

Good day and thank you for standing by. Welcome to the OGE Energy Corp 2024 Second Quarter Earnings and Business Update Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. After the speakers' presentation, there will be a question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions] Please be advised that today's conference is being recorded.

I would now like to hand the conference over to your first speaker today, Jason Bailey, Director of Investor Relations. Please go ahead.

Jason Bailey

Thank you, Hope, and good morning, everyone, and welcome to our call. With me today, I have Sean Trauschke, our Chairman, President and CEO; and Bryan Buckler, our CFO.

In terms of the call today, we will first hear from Sean, followed by an explanation from Bryan of financial results. And finally, as always, we will answer your questions. I would like to remind you that this conference is being webcast and you may follow along at oge.com.

In addition, the conference call and accompanying slides will be archived following the call on that same website. Before we begin the presentation, I'd like to direct your attention to the Safe Harbor statement regarding forward-looking statements. This is an SEC requirement for financial statements and simply states that we cannot guarantee forward-looking financial results, but this is our best estimate to-date.

I will now turn the call over to Sean for his opening remarks. Sean?

Sean Trauschke

Thank you, Jason. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. It's certainly great to be with you. The second quarter of the year delivered solid results and we are ahead of plan for the year. This morning, we reported consolidated earnings of $0.51 per share, including $0.54 per share for OG&E and a holding company loss of $0.03 per share.

Before we get underway, I do want to recognize our team. We have experienced our share of severe weather this spring and summer. And as they always do, our team's response was quick and it was safe. We do that for our customers every day and we enter the call for mutual assistance to restore electricity to other companies' customers when we travel away from home.
