Adidas Ag Ord

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the ADIDAS-AG full year 2024 conference call. I am Moira, the chorus call operator. I would like to remind you that all participants will be in listen-only mode and the conference has been recorded. The presentation will be followed by a Q&A session. You can register for questions at any time by pressing star and one on your telephone. For operator assistance, please press star and zero. The conference must not be recorded for publication or broadcast. At this time, it's my pleasure to hand over to Sebastian Stessen. Please go ahead.

Thanks very much, Maura. Good evening, good afternoon, good morning, everyone, wherever you're joining us today, and welcome to our 2024 full-year results conference call on a beautiful, sunny day here in Herzogenaurach. Our presenters today are our CEO Bjorn Golden and our CFO Harm Ohlmeier. And while there is actually a lot of newness in our product pipeline, as you will see and hear in a minute, there's not much new about the agenda of this call. As always, we will kick it off in a second with Bjorn and Harm taking you through the puts and takes of the quarter and the full year and explaining our outlook for 2025 to you. After that, we will move to the Q&A part of the session. And also here, as always, I would like to remind you that during the Q&A session, you limit your initial questions to two to allow as many people as possible to ask their questions. Thanks very much in advance for sticking to that rule. And now, before I'm going to hand over to Björn, we will start with a video to put everybody in the right mood. Let's go and enjoy.

It is official, the 2024 Summer Olympic Games are now underway.
