As a reminder, all participants are in listen-only mode. After the presentation, there will be an opportunity to ask questions. Should anyone need assistance during the conference call, they may single an operator by pressing star and zero on their telephone. At this time, I would like to turn the conference over to Mr. Victor Barreño, Head of Investor Relations. Please go ahead, sir.

Thank you, Operator. Good afternoon and welcome everyone to our Q1 earnings call. I'm joined here today by Benjamin Lowe, CEO, Paul Verhagen, our CFO, and Hisham Mossad, CTO and incoming CEO. ASM issued its first quarter 2024 results yesterday at 6 p.m. Central European Time. For those of you who have not yet seen the press release, it is accessible on our website, azem.com, along with our latest investor presentation. We remind you, as always, that this conference call may contain information related to Azem's future business and results, in addition to historical information. For more information on the risk factors related to such forward-looking statements, please refer to our company's press releases, reports, and financial statements, which are available on our website. Please note that profitability measures mentioned in this call will be primarily based on adjusted non-IFRS figures. For the reported IFRS figures, as well as the reconciliation between IFRS and adjusted results, please refer to the quarterly results press release. And with that, I'll now hand the call over to Benjamin Lowe, CEO of ASM.

Thank you, Victor, and thanks to everyone for attending our first quarter 2024 results conference call. We know it is a busy day for all of you. We will follow the usual agenda for today's call. Paul will first review our first quarter financial results. I will then continue with a discussion of the market trends and outlook, followed by Q&A. I will now turn it over to you, Paul.
