Good afternoon or good morning. Welcome to a call conference for KRUK Group. My name is MichaÅ ZasÄpa. It's my pleasure to host you to this meeting. I'll be using the presentation, which is available on our website since yesterday. Please let me guide you through the Q4 or full-year 2025 results. And in the meantime, and after my presentation, please use the Q&A functionality here in Teams to ask your questions. I will answer them after the presentation. So let's start.
