Thank you very much and welcome everyone to this presentation of Pandox interim report for the fourth quarter and full year 2024. And I'm here together with Liia Nou, our CEO; and Anneli Lindblom, our CFO. And as always, we also have Thomas Emanuel, Senior Director of STR with us and Thomas represents a leading independent research firm focused on the hotel market and he will share STR's view on the market.
And the views expressed by STR are completely separate from Pandox and the presentation is offered only as a service to Pandox stakeholders. And also note that, as we usually do, Thomas' presentation will be held after we have completed the formal earnings presentation, including the Q&A.
But before we go to that, Liia Nou and Anneli Lindblom will present a business update with financial highlights for the year and the fourth quarter 2024, followed by the Q&A session.
So with that, I hand over to Liia Nou.
