Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the TUI AG full year '25 Q1 results webcast. My name is Drew and I'll be the coordinator for today's call. (Operator Instructions) It is now my pleasure to hand over to Nicola Gehrt to begin. Please go ahead when you're ready.
Thank you. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. A warm welcome to our first quarter, 2025 results presentation. My name is Nicola, and I'm Group Director Investor Relations, and I'm here with our CEO, Sebastian Ebel; and our CFO, Mathias Kiep.
As today we present not only our first quarter results, but we also hold our annual general shareholders meeting. That is why I would like to ask for your understanding that we will need to limit this call to about an hour. But I'm sure we will have sufficient time for a good Q&A session afterwards.
And with this I have the pleasure to hand over to Sebastian and Mathias to present another set of strong quarterly numbers. Dear Sebastian, over to you.
