Good morning and good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is Justin from ASMPT, and I am moderating today's call. Before we begin, let me pass the time to Robin.
Hello, everyone. I'd like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and honor our late Head of Investor Relation, Mr. Romil Singh, who passed away very suddenly about two weeks ago. Many of you have known Romil personally or been familiar with him hosting this Investor Relation call or during investor meetings and roadshows. The ASMPT team here and I are all shocked and saddened by his departure and miss him very much.
I hope you will join me in taking a moment to remember our colleague and friend.
Thank you. Let me pass the time back to the moderator.
