Welcome to the Vimian Group Q4 Report 2024. (Operator Instructions) Now, I will hand the conference over to the speakers CEO, Patrick Eriksson; CFO, Carl-Johan Zetterberg Boudrie. Please go ahead.
Good morning. This is Patrick, and thank you for joining us. We're going to jump straight into it and start with some of the highlights for the fourth quarter results that we just reported. We delivered an all-time high revenue for an individual quarter in the fourth quarter with strong organic growth and that is well ahead of the animal health market.
Our cash flow from our operations were very strong as well in this quarter, and it corresponds to a cash conversion ratio of 115%. We also increased our operating profit during the quarter.
And we're very pleased to have incorporated and consolidated the animal dental business with iM3, starting on October 1 this year -- last year, and they have made a great start and a good contribution to Vimian in the first months that they've been with us.
