Good afternoon, everybody, and welcome to the Odfjell Drilling Q2 2025 results presentation. My name is James Crothers, and I'm an Investor Relations Officer at the company. And I'm joined today by our Chief Executive Officer, Kjetil Gjersdal, and our Chief Financial Officer, Ãrjan Lunde.
Before we begin, your attention is brought to the important information slide of our presentation, which we would encourage participants to read in full. Note that this presentation is only a summary of the quarter, and the more comprehensive quarterly reports should be read separately. Both that report and today's presentations are available on our website www.odfjelldrilling.com.
Our call today will begin with a brief summary of the quarter, with Kjetil taking us through some of the key highlights. We'll then move on to discussing our operations during Q2 before moving on to our financial review with Ãrjan. We'll then summarize the presentation and close the call.
