Welcome, everyone, to the presentation of Garo's report for Q4 2025. My name is Jonas Klarén, and I am the new CEO of Garo since the beginning of this year. I'm very excited to be here today and to have the opportunity to lead this company into its next chapter. I have now worked 25 days at Garo. And during these five weeks, I have tried to see all of our 406 employees, I still haven't managed to go to Finland and Germany yet, so I have around 12 people left on the list, but I'm working on it.
With me today is Helena Claesson, our CFO, who will walk you through our financial performance in more detail a bit later in this presentation.
Let's get started. Next slide, please. Before diving into the numbers, I want to take a moment to reflect on where we stand today and the progress we have made, and what we are doing to ensure a stronger and more profitable future for Garo and why companies like Garo play such a crucial role in the global energy transition.
