Good evening, everyone.
We are pleased to be with you tonight to comment our 2026 half-year results.
Particularly in France over the past few years, we've experienced several early heat waves of unexpected intensity. These episodes had an impact on many of us and naturally on our customers. And I wanted to start by acknowledging the extraordinary dedication of our team during these exceptional weeks, especially our purchasing logistics stores teams and our home service technicians who intervene on products affected by the extreme heat.
