Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to this interim report session of Alma Media's first quarter 2025. My name is Elina Kukkonen, and I'm responsible of the Communications and Brand of Alma. We begin with the presentation so that our CEO, Mr. Kai Telanne, will first present the Alma's overall result of the first quarter and highlight the performance of each of our business segments. After our CEO, our CFO, Mrs. Taru Lehtinen, she will present the financial position of Alma Media today. And then our CEO returns about the strategy going forward and the operating environment.
After the presentations, we have plenty of time for questions and answers. So we encourage you to present questions either online or here at the premises at Alma House. We first take the questions here at the Alma House and then our Director of Investor Relations, Mr. Teemu Salmi, will speak up the questions from the online. Thank you for joining us today. And once again, welcome.
