Good morning and welcome to Dyno Nobel Limited's 2026 half-year results briefing.
This is Tom Dixon. I'm joined this morning by our CEO and MD, Mara Neves, and our group CFfo Nat Nadu. The materials we'll be covering today have been lodged with the Australian Securities Exchange and can be found on the ASX and Dyno Nobel websites. As usual at the end of the presentation, we'll have plenty of time for questions, and an audio recording of this presentation will also be available on the company's website. I'll draw your attention to the disclaimers found on slide 1 and slide 2 of the presentation. And before we move into the main presentation, I'd like to start with an acknowledgement of country. I'd like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the la you from today. The the Warringjeri peoples of the eastern Kula nation. I pay my respects to elders past and present. Thanks very much, and I'd now like to hand over to Marrow. Thanks Tom. Good morning and welcome everyone. It's my great pleasure to hear to present our 2026 half year results. You see as we go through this presentation. The Dino
