We will begin by presenting the 00:00:12.988 -- 00:00:19.277 results for the quarter and then move over to our focus on profitable growth and an outlook. 00:00:19.277 -- 00:00:23.282 Following the presentation, there will be a Q&A session. 00:00:23.282 -- 00:00:26.604 Let's begin with some highlights. 00:00:26.828 -- 00:00:32.213 We can see a mixed picture for our two business areas where ventilation systems 00:00:32.213 -- 00:00:37.318 showed stability in the quarter and profile systems had a very challenging 00:00:37.318 -- 00:00:42.844 quarter.
