Operator
Good morning, and thank you for waiting. We would like to welcome everyone to Ambev's second quarter 2022 results conference call. Today with us, we have Mr. Jean Jereissati, CEO for Ambev; and Mr.
Lucas Lira, CFO and investor relations officer. As a reminder, a slide presentation is available for downloading on our website, ri.ambev.com.br, as well as through the webcast link of this call. We would like to inform you that this event is being recorded and all participants will be in a listen-only mode during the company's presentation. After Ambev's remarks are completed, there will be a question-and-answer session.
At that time, further instructions will be given. [Operator instructions] Before proceeding, let me mention that forward-looking statements are being made under the Safe Harbor of the Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1996. Forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of Ambev's management and on information currently available to the company. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions because they relate to future events and therefore depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future.
Investors should understand that general economic conditions, industry conditions, and other operating factors could also affect the future results of Ambev and could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements. I would also like to remind everyone that, as usual, the percentage changes that we will be discussed during today's call are both organic and normalized in nature; and unless otherwise stated, percentage changes refer to comparison with first quarter 2022 results. Normalized figures refers to performance measures before exceptional items which are either income or expenses that do not occur regularly as part of Ambev's normal activities. As normalized figures are non-GAAP measures, the company discloses the consolidated profits, EPS, EBIT, and EBITDA on a fully reported basis in the earnings release.
Now, I will turn the conference over to Mr. Jean Jereissati, CEO for Ambev. Mr. Jereissati, you may begin your conference.
Jean Jereissati -- Chief Executive Officer
Good morning and good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for joining our earnings call for the second quarter of 2022. During our last call, I mentioned that we started 2022 well-positioned and that I came out of Q1, encouraged with what we delivered. As I review Q2 results, I see even more evidence to be confident going forward.
