Vivo Energy plc

Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us for our 2020 full year results presentation. With me today is Christian Shammas, our CEO, Johan de Prater, our CFO, and Doug Lafferty, our CFO designate. Due to COVID, we're all in different locations, so please bear with us in case there are any technical difficulties. We will be running through this presentation, which appears on the webcast, so please log on if you haven't already. For those wishing to ask a question, please dial in to the conference line as we are only able to take questions from there. I will now hand over to Christian to take you through the start of the presentation.

Thank you, Giles, and good morning, everyone. I won't dwell on this slide, as you have all seen it before, but we'll move straight to the agenda. I will give an overview of 2020 and how we responded to the pandemic and the state of our markets before handing over to Johan to talk through the numbers. I'll then give an update on our sustainability progress and future plans for our business. Before we get into that, you will be aware that Johan will be retiring from Vivo Energy in the coming days. Today is his last results presentation, and we are obviously very sad to see him go. He has been instrumental in the development of this business over the last nine years. and I want to express my thanks to him and wish him all the best for the future. Replacing Johan is not easy and we went through a long and intensive process to find someone that we felt could fill his shoes. We were delighted that Doug came on board a month ago. He has all the attributes we are looking for and I believe would be a great fit for our business. I want to hand over to him for now Just say a few words and then we will move on with my presentation.

Thanks, Christian. It's great to be here and to get started. Good morning, everyone. Just a quick introduction from me today. As you can see here, I've spent considerable time in consumer facing businesses in different parts of the world and have worked in both emerging and developed markets across different sectors. I hope that combined experience will allow me to add significant value to the group over the coming years. As I went through the process of joining Vivo, I became increasingly excited about the prospects of working here. The passion in the people I met, the diversity of our markets and the range of business activities were all significant draws for me. The business has proven, not least in 2020, that it is both resilient to the toughest tests, but is also capable of consistently delivering against its growth objectives. I know Christian and the rest of the board are eager to deliver the next phase of that growth, and I look forward to being part of that journey and in evolving the strategy as we move forward. I've been working closely with Johan over the last month to ensure a smooth handover and would like to extend my personal thanks to him for his professionalism and commend him on the job he's done at Vivo during his tenure. I'll now hand back to Christian, but look forward to meeting many of you on the roadshow. Thanks, Doug.
