Welcome to the SpartanNash Second Quarter 2024 Earnings Conference Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. Later, we will conduct a question-and-answer session.

I would like to turn the call over to Kayleigh Campbell, SpartanNash's Head of Investor Relations. Kayleigh?

Kayleigh Campbell

Thank you and good morning. On the call today from the company are President and Chief Executive Officer, Tony Sarsam, and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Jason Monaco. By now, everyone should have access to the earnings release, which was issued this morning at approximately 7:00 a.m. Eastern Time. For a copy of the earnings release as well as the company's supplemental earnings presentation, please visit SpartanNash's website spartanash.com/investors. This call is being recorded, and a replay will be available on the company's website.

Before we begin, the company would like to remind you that today's discussion will include a number of forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. If you will refer to SpartanNash's earnings release from this morning, as well as the company's most recent SEC filings, you will see a discussion of factors that could cause the company's actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Please remember that all forward-looking statements made today reflect our current expectations only, and SpartanNash undergoes no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements.

The company will also make a number of references to non-GAAP financial measures. The company believes these measures provide investors with useful perspective on the underlying growth trends of the business and has included in the earnings release a full reconciliation of certain non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures, which can be found on SpartanNash's website at spartannash.com/investors.

And now it is my pleasure to turn the call over to Tony.

Tony Sarsam

Thank you, Kaleigh, and good morning, everyone. Glad to be here. I want to start today's call with a recent highlight from the year. Last month, we welcomed more than 1,500 suppliers and independent grocery customers at our Annual Food Solutions Expo and Grand Rapids, Michigan. The event featured suppliers and customers award ceremonies, retail discussion groups, and educational sessions. Of course, the food export wouldn't be complete without a bunch of samples, special deals and some live auctions.
