Thank you, Amon. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. While presenting the 2024 full year results in March, I focused on the progress we made internally, both strategically and operationally, the efficiencies and integration to build a solid RightSouth foundation to deliver on in 2025. In Q1 2025, we can see in the group's financial results that we have hit our target. In Q1, IMC reached net profit with an 87% improvement in our gross margin versus Q1 2024. Our focus continues to be on execution, shifting our resources to where we see the biggest ROI and leaning into our integrated structure. In Q1, with our integrated supply chain, we launched a total of 12 new strains in Germany, driving about 3 million euro, or 39% of our cannabis flower sales in Germany. To put this into perspective, in the second half of 2024, we imported a total of 11 new strains to Germany, for an upside in sales of about 14% in Germany. In Q1 of 2025 alone, we have already exceeded the last six months of 2024. Needless to say, I'm very proud of the work the entire team, both in Israel and in Germany, put in to deliver these results. Moving on to Israel, we see that the shifting focus and resources towards the German market and supply delays impacted our Israeli business. While the Israeli revenue declined by 66% versus Q1 2024, our German business grew 569% versus Q1 2024, offsetting the revenue decline in Israel. In addition, we are seeing that the cost-cutting measures produced by shifting our production facility in Israel in 2024 are flowing through to the financial results, leading to the increase in gross margin of 87% and an increase in gross profit of 94%. To sum up the first quarter of 2025, I'm delighted to see how the efficiencies and integration of the past two years is starting to be visible in our financial results. Our goal was for the group to be positive, which we achieved this quarter. Our target now is to continue to execute our strategy. I will now hand the call over to Uri, who will review our first quarter 2025 financial results. Uri?
