Welcome to Humble Group's quarterly presentation of the first 00:00:04.199 -- 00:00:06.680 quarter 2025. 00:00:06.744 -- 00:00:10.150 My name is Simon Petrine. I'm the Group CEO of the company. 00:00:10.150 -- 00:00:14.038 With me today, I have Johan Lennartson, our Group CFO. 00:00:14.038 -- 00:00:16.439 Good morning, everyone. 00:00:16.670 -- 00:00:21.875 So before we dig into the details of the quarter, I just want to share a few highlights. 00:00:21.875 -- 00:00:26.379 We've had a quite strong start to the quarter with strong development in the beginning 00:00:26.379 -- 00:00:31.683 of the quarter with a little bit softer trading by the end of the quarter, 00:00:31.683 -- 00:00:36.688 mainly due to seasonality.
