Thank you, Nadia, for this introduction. And good afternoon, good morning to everybody attending this conference call. Very happy to have you here today to further explain our results of the first half year of 2023. Going to slide number two, I immediately leave the floor to Veerle, our CFO.

Yes, thank you, Serge. So as usual, this presentation will contain some forward-looking statements, forward-looking statements with respect to business, financial conditions, results of operations of our company, et cetera. These statements will be based on our current expectations and our beliefs as a management team, but they obviously also include some risks and some uncertainty. Those risks and uncertainty, they have not changed compared to previous communications. They're primarily linked to technology changes, market requirements, potential decline in demand, potential loss of market share, pricing pressure, et cetera. They are named here in the slide. The risks occurring may lead to material changes in forward-looking statements, but AVS undertakes no obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect such events.
