Welcome, and thank you for joining us for the presentation of Storskogen's interim report for the first quarter of 2026. I'm Christer Hansson, CEO and with me today is Lena Glader, our CFO.
As we close our last year, our message was clear, operational execution remained our top priority. We have strengthened our balance sheet, maintained financial discipline and navigated a continuously challenging macro environment. That work has put us in a strong position as we move into this new year. I expect an increased focus on growth in its broadest sense, whether it comes through organic initiatives, acquisitions or the opportunity that arise when they both work together.
How we will achieve this growth? We believe that the groundwork laid over the past years gives us the platform to pursue our capital allocation agenda with confidence. I will shortly share more details related to this topic and why we believe there is potential for an interesting year for the group.
