Good afternoon, everybody, and welcome to the Odfjell Drilling Q1 2025 results presentation. My name is James Crothers. I'm the Investor Relations Officer at the company. As ever, I'm joined today by our Chief Executive Officer, Kjetil Gjersdal; and our Chief Financial Officer, Frode Syslak.
Before we begin, your attention is brought to the important information slide of our presentation, which we would encourage participants to read in so. Note that this presentation is only a summary of the quarter and the more comprehensive quarterly report should be read separately. Both that report and today's presentation are available on our website www.odfjelldrilling.com.
Our call today will begin with a brief summary of the quarter, who are just taking us through some of the key highlights. We'll then move on to discussing our operations during Q1 and then move on to our financial review with Frode. We'll then summarize the presentation and close the call.
