Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Dicker Data's first-half FY25 results webinar. My name is Sam Wells from NWR and joining me from the company today is Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer, Vlad Mitnovetski; as well as Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer, Mary Stojcevski.
Following a summary of the results released to the ASX this morning, we will have some time for Q&A with the management team. There will be a choice of two options. First, research analysts will be able to raise your hand should you wish to ask a verbal question from the management team. Or you can also type a written question by the Q&A function at the bottom of the Teams screen. We'll try and take the majority of questions asked in some cases, combining questions on the same or similar topic.
And with that, I'll pass it over to you, Mary.
Great. Thank you, Sam, and good morning, and thank you, everyone, for joining us on this
