Good morning, everyone. Thank you for participating in Eneva's Third Quarter 2024 Earnings Call.
Let's start with slide 4 with the main highlights of the period. The third quarter of 2024 was marked by strong operating and financial results and by the progress on the company's growth.

In this quarter, we recorded a record number of energy exports to Argentina, a figure that was not only higher due to the intensification of thermoelectric dispatch to the National Interconnected System.
