Hannah Lynch
Synlait Milk Ltd - Head - Strategy & Corporate Affairs

Good morning, everybody, and welcome to Synlait's full-year results conference call. It's great to have so many of you on today's call and a real pleasure to introduce you formally to our new CEO, Richard Wyeth, who joined Synlait earlier this year in May. He's joined, of course, today on a call by our CFO, Andy Liu, who many of you will now know. Richard and Andy will speak today to our investor presentation released this morning, and then we'll open the line for Q&A. Just a reminder, if you can keep your questions to two per person, and we will follow up with you later today if required.

Richard, over to you.
