So welcome, everyone. Today, myself and Masih will take you through our Q4 report and our strategic review. We will start with the fourth quarter of the year and 2025. Then we will go through the strategic review presentation, and we will wrap up with Q&A.
Moving into the fourth quarter and looking at the developments, we've had a continued underlying business progress in both servicing and investing. We've had underlying costs that continue to go down, and we did take, as part of the yearly review, a goodwill write-down, and we did also a tax asset write-down. We continue to focus on the leveraging, and if you look on year on year, the leverage ratio has improved from 5.3 down to 4.8.
On top of that, we're continuously working on strengthening the balance sheet, and we did announce a sale in January 26 of the remaining stake of our joint venture with Brock. This will have a positive impact on the leverage when we close it. On the servicing side, we see a continued organic growth. The margins
