Thank you very much, Alba, for that kind introduction, and good morning, everybody. I'm here with Jorge and our Investor Relations team to share our Q2 results. The market environment in the second quarter was again influenced by geopolitical and economic uncertainty, which, frankly, we and many of our clients see as the new normal. Against this backdrop, I'm pleased with the performance we delivered and the strategic progress we made. We achieved revenues of EUR5.8 billion and EBITDA of EUR171 million with a margin of 3.0%.
We continue to benefit from our focus on operational excellence, and most importantly, we are seeing the benefits of our strategy coming through in our performance. We've seen a mixed picture across our markets with different trends and dynamics at play.
