Welcome to FL Smith, 125 earnings call.

We are very pleased about the result that we were able to deliver on quarter 1.

The highlights are that we exceeded expectations with all the execution in service.

Backlog management, supply chain, the improvements what we have done in that area are now visible in higher than expected revenue. And of course, service revenue is driving the profitability. Very pleased with that one.

All intake, both in capital and service is in line with our expectations and we see areas for growth inside those numbers and we are seeing growth in consumables, and also pumps and cyclones related capital orders. So those are two areas that we've seen year on year across.
