Good morning, everyone and thank you for joining us today. I'm very pleased to be here with you to review our performance and achievements for the past year. But I'm also eager to share with you our future ambitions and the targets we have set for the year to come. Of course, I first want to welcome Leo, our new CFO who joined the call for the first time. Leo is a tremendous addition to our leadership team and we have been working together for about a month already and I'm very happy to have him on the team.

2024 was the first full year for the management team appointed in 2023 at our C MD. We set a clear path for the company and since then, we've been relentlessly focused on the precise execution of our strategy.
