Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Bubs half one FY25 results briefing. My name is Reg Weine, and I am the CEO and Managing Director of Bubs. And joining me on the call today is our new Chief Financial Officer, Naomi Verloop; and our General Counsel and Company Secretary, Peter Cope.
Before we get into the results briefing, I would like to draw your attention to our disclaimer on page 2 of the presentation and now on the screen, the agenda and content for today's presentation. We'll firstly cover the half one FY25 results and highlights. I'll then discuss Bubs' strategy and the significant and sustained progress we are now making on each one of our five strategic pillars and our plan to responsibly manage capital and maximize shareholder value. I'll then provide an update on our outlook and path to sustained profitability, and then I'll briefly touch on what I consider to be Bubs' investment highlights and the ingredients that make us such a strong investment proposition.
