Compagnie Financière Tradition S.A.

To be better, we have a mic on, so sorry about that. So I'm just repeating, but surely you must have noticed that I'm not on my own. And today, Johan Ruppert, Chairman, Jérôme Lambert, CEO, Burkhard Grund, CFO, Cyril Vigneron, Partier CEO, and Nicolas Boss, Van Cleef & Arpels CEO. As usual, the company announcement and financial presentation can be downloaded from richemont.com. And the replay of the webcast will be available today from 3 p.m. Geneva time. Before we begin, please take note of the forward-looking statements in our ad hoc announcement and on slide two of our presentation. So what you do, just a few personal words. As many of you know, I'll be retiring later this year, and so this will be my last results presentation.

Thank you.

Thank you very much. So over the last 22 years, it has been incredibly rewarding to build and lead the investor relations function. and interact with world-class sell-side analysts and highly knowledgeable investors. I would like to express my gratitude for your insightful questions and constructive feedback. I would also like to thank the Chairman for his trust and support and all my many inspirational colleagues in the Richemont family. I'm pleased to say that you'll be in good hands moving forward with Alessandra Girolami, who will lead the department from September. So, turning now to the slides, Jérôme will take you through the year's financial highlights and sales, and then Burkhart will review our business areas, group financials, and key ESG initiatives. He will then hand back to Jérôme for the conclusion, which will be followed by a Q&A session open to participants present in the room. I will now head over to Jérôme.
