Amrize Ltd Ordinary Shares

Good morning and welcome to the analyst and investor webcast for Holcim's third quarter 24 trading update. My name is Bernd Pommerin and I'm pleased to welcome Miljan Gutovic, our CEO, and Stefan Kindler, our CFO, who are with me in the room today. After their financial presentations, you will have the opportunity to ask your questions. In order to guarantee a smooth flow, please use either your phone or the webcast to ask your questions. We will now show a short movie where you can see how you can address your questions.

If you would like to ask a question during the webcast, please use the request to speak button, which you can find below the live stream window. As soon as this button changes to cancel request, this means we have received your request. Make sure you allow access to your microphone and camera when requested. In case of any technical difficulties, you will receive further instructions from the operator. You can start speaking as soon as your name is mentioned. If you are joining via telephone, press star 1 4 on your telephone keypad to register a request to speak. The operator's voice will confirm that your request has been registered. If you would like to withdraw your registration, enter star 1 5 to do so. Just before you are called to speak, the operator will unmute your line. You can start speaking as soon as your name is called.

And with this short intro, I hand directly over to Miljan. Miljan, please.
