My name is Natalia Vazasari. 00:00:04.503 -- 00:00:06.667 I'm head of investor relations here at Kone. 00:00:06.667 -- 00:00:10.635 And I want to start by apologizing for the delay to start this webcast. 00:00:10.635 -- 00:00:13.039 We have some network issues here on our end. 00:00:13.039 -- 00:00:17.728 I would suggest that everyone who is only following on the webcast also dial in. 00:00:17.728 -- 00:00:22.738 The number should be visible to you. Just in case this is not smooth 00:00:22.738 -- 00:00:25.512 sailing going forward, which I very much hope it will be. 00:00:25.512 -- 00:00:30.561 So that's that. Let's get started.
