Operator
Good day, ladies and gentlemen, and thank you for standing by. Welcome to the Suncor Energy second quarter 2022 results conference call. [Operator instructions] At this time, I would now like to hand the conference over to your host today, Mr. Trevor Bell, vice president of investor relations.
Please go ahead.
Trevor Bell -- Vice President, Investor Relations
Thank you, operator, and good morning. Welcome to Suncor's second quarter earnings call. With me this morning are Kris Smith, interim president and chief executive officer; and Alister Cowan, chief financial officer. Please note that today's comments contain forward-looking information.
The actual results may differ materially from the expected results because of various risk factors and assumptions that are described in our second quarter earnings release as well as in our current annual information form. Both of those are available on SEDAR, EDGAR and our website, suncor.com. Certain financial measures referred to in these comments are not prescribed by Canadian GAAP. For a description of these financial measures, please see our second quarter's earnings release.
Following formal remarks, we'll open up the call to some questions. Now, I'll hand it over to Kris for his opening remarks.
Kris Smith -- Interim President and Chief Executive Officer
Great. Thanks, Trevor, and thanks to everyone for joining us today for our quarterly results call. As previously announced, I've been asked by our board to lead our company forward during this period of transition. I've been with Suncor for 22 years, and I've held various operational business roles across the company.
But since this is my first time speaking on Suncor's earnings call, I'd like to briefly introduce myself and discuss my priorities. During my time with the company, I've worked in our oil sands, downstream and corporate divisions as well as in both our Canadian and U.S. businesses. And for the past 10 years, I led the company's downstream business, which is the most profitable in North America on a per barrel basis.
I have a great appreciation and understanding of Suncor's assets, business and people, and we'll be drawing on that experience to lead the company through this period with a focus on rebuilding confidence in Suncor. To be clear, as interim CEO, my mandate is not to simply maintain the status quo, but to work with our board, executive team and all of our employees to make the changes necessary to improve our performance and deliver the value you expect. I believe it's important to step back and clearly assess where we are, confirm what is going well, identify what needs to be different and keep the momentum moving forward through executing the changes necessary to accelerate our progress toward improved performance. Safety is the most important value at Suncor, and our safety record is unacceptable, and improvements must be made.
