Good morning, everyone. Welcome to this Groupe SEB 2025 full-year results presentations. I am Stanislas de Gramont, Chief Executive Officer of the group; and I will be doing this presentation together with Olivier Casanova, our Chief Financial Officer.
Right, we will cover the following points in this presentation. And of course, after these presentations, there will be a question-and-answer session. The points of the agenda will be the key elements of 2025 regarding sales, our results, our financial structures, what have been our ESG achievements. We will talk about the growth relaunch Rebound plan initiative that we've announced today to our employees and shareholders, and we will conclude. Then we'll take, of course, your questions together with Olivier.
As a way of introduction, I think it's fair to say that 2025 performance is closing on a better note. We are in line with the targets that we revised in October. We've confirmed and launched the Rebound plan that we again announced in October.
