Hello.
Hello.
Good morning. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to our fourth quarter and fiscal year 2025 results presentation.
As you well know, 25 has been a challenging year marked by a complex macroeconomic environment.
Low global demand and ongoing tariff tensions.
However, despite these headwinds, the group has maintained a solid financial situation.
Demonstrating the strength of our diversified business model and a strategic position in the United States, Europe, and South Africa.
In many ways, 25 has been the year for setting the foundations for industrial reactivation in both the US and Europe with the improvement of Section 232 in the US and the steel and metals action plan in the European Union.
Looking ahead and although final demand remains low, we maintain a positive outlook for 2026 based on a solid strategy and supported by the different trade defense measures.
