Thank you. Very happy to have all of you listening in, today.

Let's get into the presentation of the Q1 results.

Volati. We're a growing group of well-managed companies, with strong earnings. I would like to remind you about we are operating with six platforms. We have Salix Group; Ettiketto Group; and the four platforms within business area, Industry.

We've had an average channel growth of 17% since 2019. So, more or less, the last 5 years. And that's despite the recent years' market happenings.

Looking at Q1, one could see that the trend from last quarter remains. It's the second quarter in a row, where we see some signs of recovery in the market, after many years of tough conditions.
