Good morning, everyone and thank you for joining us today for Aston Martin's half won 2025 results.
It's a pleasure to be here alongside Doug Lafferty, CFO, and James Arnold, head of investor relations.
Before Doug takes you through the financial performance in detail, I'm going to provide a summary of our key achievements and areas of focus during the first half as we prepare for a planned increase in volumes which will drive enhanced financial performance in the second half of 2025.
This includes the expected delivery of positive free cash flow generation in the second half and a 2025 adjusted EBIT improving towards break even.
As we outlined at the 2024 results, following an intense period of product development, our focus has shifted from pure volume orientation to value driven growth in order to create a sustainably profitable business model.
