WEBVTT 00:00:00.111 -- 00:00:04.975 Hello and good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to EVN's call regarding the 00:00:04.975 -- 00:00:10.979 results for the first half of the 2024-25 financial year. 00:00:11.020 -- 00:00:14.964 At this time, all participants have been placed on a listen-only mode. 00:00:14.964 -- 00:00:18.607 The floor will be open for questions following the presentation. 00:00:18.607 -- 00:00:22.809 Let me now turn the floor over to Alexandra Wittmann. 00:00:25.802 -- 00:00:30.786 Good morning everybody to EVN's conference call on the results for the first half of 00:00:30.786 -- 00:00:35.790 our current financial year.

On top of that, market prices for our own electricity generation 00:01:17.179 -- 00:01:20.487 have declined year on year. 00:01:20.487 -- 00:01:25.610 In contrast to those factors, winter temperatures were in line with the long-term 00:01:25.610 -- 00:01:30.994 average. This led to stronger energy demand compared to the milder weather 00:01:30.994 -- 00:01:36.478 we experienced last year. As a result, we saw positive d...
