Good morning, everyone. And to summarize the first quarter, we had a good start of the year. We had strong organic net sales with higher prices, better mix and higher volumes in all our 3 business areas, and organic sales growth of 4.3%. We continued to see strong contributions from cost savings. However, we have to remember even though we're now in a new year, we have still have considerable headwinds from raw materials and energy in the quarter, adding up to 350 basis points in the first quarter.
