Okay, good morning, everyone, and a warm welcome to the presentation of Anora's Q4 results. My name is Milena Haeggstrom. I'm the head of investor relations here at Anora. And our presenters today are our CEO Kirsi Puntila and CFO Stein Eriksen.
After their presentations, we will start with the Q&A session. And please be reminded that you can post questions throughout the call through the chat. And please also note that this presentation will be recorded and published later today on our website, Anora.com.
And now Kirsi, please go ahead.
Thank you, Milena. Okay, Q4 and therefore also, the year 2025 is now packed and packed and locked. It was an intense year for Anora both internally and externally. Externally, we have to acknowledge the fact that the world has gone a little bit crazy lately and consumer behaviors are also changing, not only in our industry but also in the larger consumer goods landscape.
