Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Allianz conference call on the Allianz Group financial results 2024. For your information, this conference call is being streamed live on allianz.com and YouTube. A recording will be made available shortly after the call.
Just before handing over, I just want a quick word on logistics. In this morning's media call, we had some issues hearing questions from those who are accessing the call on IP telephones as opposed to the old-fashioned type of dial-in telephone. So I'd recommend for those who want to participate Q&A, which will happen after the presentations. You go for the analog approach and use the audio dial-in feature.
Great with that, at this time, I'd like to turn the call over to your host today, Mr. Oliver Bäte, Chief Executive Officer of Allianz SE. Please go ahead, Oliver.
