Good afternoon and welcome to Nokian Tire's first quarter of 2020 results audio guest. I am Anu Kangeria from Nokian Tire's investor relations and together with me in this call I have our president and CEO Paolo Pompei and our new CFO Timo Koponen. As usual, Paolo and Timo will run through the presentation And after that, we will open the line for questions. But before we start, I would like to ask you, Timo, a couple of questions. You have been with us only a few days. And first of all, welcome to the company. Thank you. It's great to have you here. With this short but intense experience with the company, What are your first impressions? Yeah, well, it has been a very, very busy start as everybody can anticipate. First of all, I'm very excited to be on board finally. It's been a long wait. And kind of looking back when we started discussions with Paolo and other people in the company, I got really intrigued by the momentum and drive that Nokia has. And obviously that intrigue remains. And you only need to look at the just ended first quarter and you see many product launches and so on. And you can really see that we have a second gear on. It's good to be here. Thank you. Good to hear. Maybe if you can also briefly say a few words about your background. Sure, sure. Yes, as I think it was already mentioned in the announcement, I have a long background in Finnish industrial equipment. Companies, Konecranes, Hakman, Vertos, Värtsilä, and last couple of years at Normit. I've been working in finance as well as in the line management roles, both in Finland and abroad, France, China, and UK, and now in Finland. Thank you. And with that, I will now hand over to you, Paolo, for the first quarter results. Excellent. Thank you very much, Anouk. And also from my side, welcome on...
