Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Leroy Mnguni, Head of Investor Relations for Valterra Platinum. Today's presentation marks the last time we will host our results in this venue. When we prepare our full-year results, it will most likely be at our new offices on 211 Oxford Road, just down the road here, as you may have seen. I suspect many shareholders will be particularly pleased to hear that the move comes with a lower rental bill.
It is a pleasure to welcome our Board members, both in the room and online. I would also like to extend a warm welcome to the members of our executive committee seated in the front row. We're equally pleased to welcome investors, analysts, media representatives, and business partners joining us today. We greatly appreciate your ongoing support and partnership.
I'll skip through the safety protocol because that Sandile handled for us. I would like to draw your attention to the cautionary statement and encourage you to read it carefully in your own time.
