Good afternoon to everybody. Welcome to this webcast where we will be presenting our financial results for Q3 of 2025 and the, year-to-date, 2025results.
As always, I will be going through briefly some financial and operational highlights. First, I will then hand over to our group CFO Brian, who will take you through the financials in some more details and, finishing off, with the outlook. For the full year of 2025. And then we will have a short Q&A session at the end of the call.
