Good morning and welcome to the presentation of OCL's 4th quarter results. My name is Annie Bersagel and I'm the Head of Investor Relations & Communications.
So we're going to begin our presentation with a summary of the quarter from our President and CEO Nil Celta. After that, our CFO Alvaregland will present some more details on the financials for the quarter.
Niels will come back with some concluding remarks before we go over to the Q&A.
Just to remind you on the Q&A, we're going to first have a video Q&A with our analyst community, and after that we will turn to questions from the web.
So you're welcome during the presentation at any time to submit your questions via the web, and we'll take those afterwards.
So with that, I will now leave the floor to you now.
Thank you, Andy, and good morning everyone.
