Good morning, and thank you for dialing in this morning. I am Maria Caneman, Head of Investor Relations here at Swedbank. Welcome to our third quarter results presentation. With me today is our CEO, Jens Henriksson; and our CFO, Jon Lidefelt. Jens and Jon will start with the presentation, and then there will be an opportunity to ask questions.
