Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and a warm welcome to today's earnings call of the ZEAL Network SE following the publication of the Q3 figures of 2025. I am delighted to welcome the CEO, Dr. Stefan Tverase, and the CFO, Andrea Behrendt, who will guide us through the presentation and the results. After the presentation, we will move on to a Q&A session. in which you will be allowed to place your questions directly via audio line. Questions via chat cannot be submitted today. So having said this, Andrea, the stage is yours.

Thanks a lot. And good morning, everybody. So welcome to our earnings call for Q3 this morning for your network. I hope you have the presentation. If not, please have a look on our investor relations section on our homepage there. Everything is available. So before we start, I really want to welcome Stefan. Stefan, your first earnings call with us. So I'm happy you're joining us today and I'm looking forward to build this future together with you. So let's go to the content, the agenda of today's call. We will start with a brief overview on the highlights of the first nine months. Then let's dive into the financials. That's what we are here for to talk about. And then have a look on the strategic focus and talk about our updated guidance 2025. And then we will wrap it up with the key takeaways and go to our Q&A session. And with that, for the first time, handing over to Stefan for a short summary.

Andrea, thank you very much. And good morning, everyone, also from my side. I'm obviously super excited to be here. I've joined Zeal now a bit more than two months ago, and it has been a blast. I really enjoy being here and obviously enjoy attending this call with you to update you on our financials. The headline that we want to communicate is that we continue to execute our strategy very consistently and very successfully. As you all know, a major driver of our business is the jackpot environment. And Andrea will deep dive into this, the jackpot environment that we've been able to witness in the first three quarters of this year has been below the statistical average. But despite this, not so a welcoming environment, we've been able to really drive our business very successfully. We have accelerated the growth of our customer base. We have been able to continue to significantly increase the gross margin of our business and thus also have grown the profitability of Zeal Network as a consequence. And you notice we have been able to adjust our ambitious targets upwards and I've increased our guidance in September 2025. But back to Andrea for all the details.
