Thank you very much and welcome to Studsvik's interim report for quarter 3 2024. As you know, I'm the new CEO since a couple of days back. So to make this really good, I'm actively supported by my CFO, Peter, and he will also start the presentation of the Q3. Please, Peter.

Peter Teske
Studsvik AB - CFO

Thank you, Karl. And I have -- we'll take you through the group finance on the top level. And as mostly, I think, you have read in the report, we have a challenging quarter behind us. We see -- and that's one reason about that is because of the fraud that was -- that we had in Scandpower in the US during August this summer.

One positive thing about that is that it's -- we have a less impact on that on the financial compared to what we said in the press release during August. And on that floor, there are still ongoing investigations in that one. But the impact in the financial in the quarter is around SEK10.1 million.
