Good.

Right, well, good morning everyone and welcome to our presentation for the International Workplace Group full year results for the year ended 31st of December 2024.

I'm delighted to present the results this morning.

The right one, record system-wide revenue, which we'll we'll talk about today. Record EBITDA which we're very happy with, and record new openings added to the network.

And all of this, additional performances enabled us to announce our first share buyback for quite a long while with a $50 million buyback. Charlie we'll talk to you more about that later.

So, our business very much as we came through 2024, at an inflection point.
