WEBVTT 00:00:00.031 -- 00:00:04.217 Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome and thank you for joining Merlin's first 00:00:04.217 -- 00:00:09.244 quarter trading update conference call. As we always do on first and third quarter, our 00:00:09.244 -- 00:00:13.470 CEO, Ismael Clemente, will briefly go through the main highlights of the quarter, and 00:00:13.470 -- 00:00:18.597 then we'll open the line for Q&A. For those of you who want to ask questions, 00:00:18.597 -- 00:00:21.901 please press start, followed by number five. 00:00:21.901 -- 00:00:24.505 With no further delay, I pass the floor to Ismael. 00:00:24.505 -- 00:00:26.267 Thank you. 00:00:26.267 -- 00:00:30.731 Thank you, Ines. Welcome to Merlin's first quarter results presentation. 00:00:30.895 -- 00:00:35.942 It's been a pretty solid quarter overall. 00:00:35.942 -- 00:00:42.030 In terms of consolidated performance, gross rent went up by 2.7%, which was 00:00:42.030 -- 00:00:46.616 okay, and particularly we improved significantly our margins, and the FFO went up by 00:00:46.616 -- 00:00:50.180 almost 17%, which is good. 00:00:50.180 -- 00:00:53.642 We have significantly 00:00:55.467 -- 00:01:00.613 shrunk the dilution caused by the capital increase, so We 00:01:00.613 -- 00:01:05.619 are running at present at minus 2.6% FFO per share, which is 00:01:05.619 -- 00:01:10.825 remarkable given the new share count. And in terms of MTA, despite not having 00:01:10.825 -- 00:01:16.149 revalued in the quarter, we are running at minus 4.8. 00:01:16.752 -- 00:01:21.798 Let's see what happens in June, but we continue probably shrinking the 00:01:21.798 -- 00:01:28.366 dilution of the capital increase in terms of MTA by 30th of June. 00:01:28.366 -- 00:01:31.615 It's been a very active quarter 00:01:31.615 -- 00:...
