Good morning and thank you for joining today's call. I'm sitting here with Dimitri de Fraser, our CEO, and Ralph Smits, our CEO.
This morning we published our full year 2025 results on a restated basis, together with a presentation to investors which you can find on our website. Here you can also find our disclaimers about forward-looking statements.
