Good morning everyone and welcome to Kodan's first half FY25 results webinar. My name's SAM Wells from NWR and joining me from Codan today is managing director and CEO Alf Ianello, as well as CFO and company secretary Michael Barton.

Following a brief summary of the results released to the ASX this morning, investors and research analysts will have an opportunity to ask questions. There will be a choice of two options. First, you can submit a written question via the Q&A function at the bottom of your screen. Alternatively, research analysts may raise your hand via Zoom, if you wish to ask a verbal question.

We kindly ask that you limit your questions to 2 per person, and we will endeavor to get to the majority of questions
