Please be advised that this conference is being recorded. I would now like to hand the conference over to our speaker today, Serge Van Geert, CEO. Please go ahead.

Thank you and welcome to all of you here to review with us the results of our first half year of 2024. Together with me, we have Veerle de Wet, our CFO, and Benoit Quirinen, who is our SVP Strategy and Mergers and Acquisitions. And we look forward to share today with you our results of those first six months. But before I start with the agenda, I'll leave the floor to Veerle to talk about the disclaimer.
