Welcome to the conference call. (Operation Instructions). Now I will hand the conference over to the speakers.
Please go ahead.
Good morning everybody. Hello, dear BTS investors. Nice to be with you all. I am calling in from late in the evening in San Francisco and hope you're all having a good start to your morning. We're going to talk about BTS's Q4 2024 results, but given that Q4 is the end of the year, it feels more natural as well to just open up with a couple big picture comments on 2024 overall.
So, from our perspective, 2024 was defined by 6% EBITDA growth despite it being a challenging tougher market. So growth despite a tough market, not the clip we like, but 6% nonetheless, it was also defined by a rebound in BTS Europe and very good momentum on our AI tools from the Wonderway acquisition and bringing that around the world.
