Good morning, everyone and welcome to Porvair's results presentation for the year ending of November 30, 2025. I will start by giving a summary of the highlights for the year and then hand over to James to talk through the financials. After that, I will give an update on our business model, strategic priorities, and the outlook for the year.

So let's start with the highlights for the year. I will talk about the results in a minute but allow me to first give you a flavor of what we have been up to in the year. It's been a busy year. Having been in the role for 10 months now, I've spent a lot of time with our teams, visiting all our locations and understanding the business. We have carried out a full review of the strategy and defined near term priorities, which I'll speak to a bit later.

We have also enhanced the way we work as a team by establishing an executive committee responsible for the management of the group. We have been proactively managing the M&A pipeline and adding a resource in the center to support in M&A activities.
