RENK Group AG - Chief Executive Officer, Member of the Management Board

Hello and welcome everybody, Susanne Wiegand speaking. Thanks for the intro. I'm pleased to welcome you to our pronouncement call to give you a heads up the trading update on Q4 last year as well as fiscal year and first KPIs, which we are happy to disclose. So we welcome the opportunity to inform you on our key highlights for the fourth quarter last year. And also, as I just said, the full year certainly. And as you're aware, all figures are preliminary and unaudited.

However, we are very pleased with the performance of Q4, especially last year which significantly contributed to the year-end results. All is in line with what we consistently communicated to the market so far and is meeting our guidance and projections. I'm also happy to report that all three segments developed very well in 2024 and contributed to the strong results.

Our data set is based on robust but as said, the preliminary and unaudited figures. Nevertheless, we are convinced that they are relevant to your assessment and analysis
