(technical difficulty) Half-year results. Thanks a lot to those joining in the room and those following us online. We are here with Andrea Rossi, our CEO; and Kathryn McLeland, CFO. As usual, we're going to go through a short presentation, briefer than at full year, and then we'll have all the time needed for Q&A.
