Please note that this call is being recorded. I would now like to turn the conference over to the CEO, Rudiger Dany. Please go ahead, sir.
Hello. Good morning, everybody. And welcome to the presentation of Nepi Rockcastle for the year 2024. Well, actually, a year ago, I was here. And I was very happy to present you the best results of the company, so far. That was 2023.
So sorry for repeating myself. It's another record year of the company. We've beaten '23 in the set of results. I think for 2024, also, quite good for our shareholders. So pleasant to have you here. And I'm starting again with a quote.
Because also in 2023, we had this imagination that we could grow the company, that we see opportunities in the market, that we have the trust of our shareholders, the loyalty. And also maybe, the trust in us as management team. But we saw opportunities coming up, but it was more of an imagination.
