Buenos dias a todos. Good morning. We would like to extend a warm welcome to all those attending the presentation of Inditex's results for the first three months of financial year 2026. I'm James O'Shaughnessy, Investor Relations.
Going forward, the first quarter and the third quarter results presentations will place greater emphasis on the financial and operational performance of the business over the period. With this in mind, today's presentation will be hosted by our Chief Financial Officer, Andres Sanchez, together with the Director of Investor Relations, Gorka Garcia-Tapia. Oscar Garcia Maceiras, our CEO, will continue to provide a strategic update on Inditex at the half year and full year results presentations.
Once the presentation itself is complete, we will commence the usual Q&A session, starting with questions received over the phone, followed by those received via the webcast platform. Let's take the disclaimer as read.
Over to you, Andres.
