Hello, and welcome to the AGFA Group Q2 2025 results call. Please note, this call is being recorded. (Operator Instructions) I will now hand you over to your host, Pascal Juery, CEO, to begin today's conference. Please go ahead.
Thank you very much, and good morning to everyone, and thank you for attending.

And we are going to walk you through the set of results for Q2 and the first half of the year. I think, first message is on the business. As you've seen, a very contrasted situation between our three businesses, our three main businesses. I mean, a strong HealthCare IT, and I'll come back to that, but the P&L delivery was very good and we only have positive things to say going forward for HealthCare IT.
