Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Before I hand over to Magda Palczynska, Head of Investor Relations, a reminder that today's call is being recorded. Ma'am, you may begin.
Good morning, and welcome to UniCredit's second quarter and half year 2025 results conference call. Andrea Orcel, our CEO, will take you through the presentation.
