Very good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and good morning from Hamburg. This is Hans-peter Kneip speaking. I'm pleased to welcome you to today's conference call and to present our financial results for the 2024 fiscal year, along with an update on the company's recent developments.
As you may have noticed, we've made adjustments to our financial calendar this year. Our objective was to provide audited figures in a comprehensive financial report at an earlier stage.
In previous years, we have typically shared preliminary figures at this time of the year. With the revised schedule this year, we are waiving the only exception that we take up under the German Corporate Governance Code by publishing our results within 90 instead of 120 days of the financial year end.
Given our specific corporate structure, the relatively small size of our team, and potential additional reporting requirements in the future, this is an ambitious undertaking, but one we are confident in achieving. Thank you for
