WEBVTT 00:00:00.071 -- 00:00:05.456 Good morning, everyone, and welcome to this presentation of Castellum's Q2 00:00:05.456 -- 00:00:07.018 report. 00:00:07.018 -- 00:00:11.102 There will be a Q&A session in the end of the webcast. 00:00:11.102 -- 00:00:16.988 And if you'd like to ask a question by phone, please dial pound key five 00:00:16.988 -- 00:00:20.791 on your telephone keypad and ask your question. 00:00:20.791 -- 00:00:24.145 But let's start. Go ahead. 00:00:24.145 -- 00:00:30.409 Thank you, Kristoffer. And let's start with some highlights from the second quarter. 00:00:30.409 -- 00:00:36.073 Divestment to Vilborgs.
