Thank you, Karin. So, I will start with the highlights for 2024. So, we achieved record heights for orders received and revenues with an overall good demand for our equipment and services. The growth was supported by acquisitions but also the strong development within mining. The demand for drilling equipment and tools for infrastructure projects was solid but the demand for attachments used in construction was weak. The operating profit margin decreased impacted by mainly the weaker construction demand and dilution.
