WEBVTT 00:00:00.031 -- 00:00:05.160 Good morning and a warm welcome to our Q1 2026 earnings 00:00:05.160 -- 00:00:10.130 conference. Myself and Oliver will guide you through what we think was a very strong 00:00:10.130 -- 00:00:14.017 start into this year with the Q1 performance. 00:00:14.017 -- 00:00:18.465 So let's look at the Q1 highlights from our side. 00:00:18.465 -- 00:00:22.795 The EVA integration is on track and the synergies are ramping up. 00:00:22.795 -- 00:00:28.563 And with that benefit, we could return into our profitability 00:00:28.563 -- 00:00:33.730 corridor, our strategic corridor between 10 and 12%, a little 00:00:33.730 -- 00:00:39.238 earlier than we initially expected. We have inaugurated a new hydraulics plant in Brazil, 00:00:39.238 -- 00:00:43.945 and that strengthens our regional footprint in that important region and expands our 00:00:43.945 -- 00:00:49.930 capacity for the future growth that we have planned for the Americas region in general. 00:00:49.930 -- 00:00:54.837 We've also increased our share capital by 10% in Q1, 2026. 00:00:54.837 -- 00:00:57.982 We've issued 1.49 00:00:57.982 -- 00:01:02.869 million shares at a price of 62 euros and 13 cents. 00:01:02.869 -- 00:01:07.596 And with that, we had gross proceeds of approximately 93 00:01:07.596 -- 00:01:09.839 million euros. 00:01:09.839 -- 00:01:13.043 From a market side, EMEA market recovered slightly. 00:01:13.043 -- 00:01:17.607 The APAC demand was quite positive. 00:01:20.609 -- 00:01:25.635 export market in the US. And we've leveraged that market environment. 00:01:25.635 -- 00:01:31.001 And together with our drive and our organic growth pipeline, we were able 00:01:31.001 -- 00:01:36.487 to ramp up and use the organic growth and new customer gains 00:01:36.487 -- 00:01:40.7...
