Operator

Good morning. My name is Sarah, and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the Manitowoc Second Quarter 2024 Earnings Conference Call.

I will now turn the call over to Ion Warner, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Investor Relations. You may begin your conference. Please proceed.

Ion Warner

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the Manitowoc conference call to review the company's second quarter 2024 financial performance and business update as outlined in last evening's press release.

Participating on the call today are Aaron Ravenscroft, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Brian Regan, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

Today's webcast includes a slide presentation, which can be found in the Investor Relations section of our website under Events & Presentations. We will reserve time for questions and answers after our prepared remarks. I would like to request that you limit your questions to one and a follow-up and return to the queue to ensure everyone has an opportunity to ask their questions.

Please turn to Slide 2. Please note our safe sarbor statement in the material provided for this call. During today's call, forward-looking statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, are made based on the company's current assessment of its markets and other factors that affect its business. However, actual results could differ materially from any implied or actual projections due to one or more of the factors, among others, described in the company's latest SEC filings. The Manitowoc Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement whether as a result of new information, future events or other circumstances.

And with that, I will now turn the call over to Aaron.

Aaron Ravenscroft

Thank you, Ion, and good morning, everyone.

Please move to Slide 3. Before jumping into my update on the crane market, I would like to provide some color from our Crane Days event in May. First and foremost, it was a very successful event with over 850 customers and dealers visiting our Shady Grove campus. We hosted attendees from 18 countries and we showcased 35 cranes garnering excellent feedback. It takes an enormous team effort to pull one of these events off, a huge thank you to the team involved and a big thank you to our customers and dealers that showed up in force.
