Cez As S/Gdr 144A

Hello everyone and welcome to our regular quarterly results call of Chess Group. It's my pleasure as usual to welcome here Martin Novak, Chief Financial Officer and Pavel Sirani, Chief Sales and Strategy Officer. We will go through the presentation briefly and then we will open the room to you for questions. Now I'm handing over to Martin.

Good afternoon, good morning. Thank you. So let's start and let's have a look at slide number three. I will go through first two sections, which means highlights of 2025 and then financial results in generation segments and Pavel Ciani will cover market developments and customer segments. So slide 3, you can actually see the key chart showing our final result, where we have achieved 137 billion CZK EBITDA and 28.1 billion CZK adjusted net income. So in both cases, we are at the upper range of originally provided guidance. selected changes compared to November guidance. We had higher EBITDA of distribution and sales segments. We had a change in estimated nuclear provisions. We had higher availability of nuclear power plants. And as a negative, we had lower margins from commodity trading. You know, our adjusted net income of 28.1 billion CZK So subject to current dividend policy which is 60 to 80% payout ratio and it would mean 31 to 42 check rounds per share of dividend or 17 to 23 billion check rounds. Next slide, we have our Vision 2030 Clean Energy of Tomorrow that we presented a few times. You can see that our main goals of Vision 2030 are actually four things. First is actually to grow while maintaining a net financial debt EBITDA ratio below 3.5. significantly reduce coal usage in our business and reduce emission intensity to 0.16 tons of CO2 per megawatt hour or less of course, do business in a responsible and sustainable way in accordance with ESG principles and adapt the structure of CHESS Group to meet demands of investors, financing banks and employees. Actually, our strategy has two pillars. One is related to power generation and its decarbonization of generation portfolio and reaching climate neutrality. And the second one is actually related to distribution and sales segment, where we would like to provide the most cost-effective energy solutions and the best customer experience in the market. Strategy pillar number one. which is actually decarbonization of our generation portfolio has had a lot of milestones that were actually reached in 2025. I will cover the most important ones. Probably the most important one is reaching more than 32 terawatt hours of zero emission power generated from our nuclear plants. This is mainly due to the fact that we have switched to 18 months fuel cycle and 2025 was the year with minimum actually fuel changes. We also expanded our nuclear fuel suppliers. We had first deliveries from Westinghouse, both on Temelin and Dukovany nuclear power plant. We disposed Dukovany to power plant 80% stake to check state hands. This is something we discussed many times together since May 25 when it happened. We became a strategic shareholder of Rolls-Royce SMR, acquiring 20% stake. We sold on February 6, 2025, Polish coal-fired power plants, which is part of our decarbonization strategy. We also shut down three coal-fired units of Jet Marovica power plant, which was the only hard coal plant that we had in our portfolio. We actually signed a contract to convert current heat plant that is supplying heat to significant part of Prague from coal fired to CCGT, and it should be actually built by 2029. We fulfilled our CO2 emission target for 2025, which was actually 0.25 ton of CO2 per megawatt hour. We actually reached 0.24. So compared to 2019, we actually reduced our emission intensity by 37%. And one of the most important achievements is that Carbon Disclosure Project, CDP, recognized our ESG efforts and raised our climate change rating to A-. Now I think we belong among 7% top worldwide companies actually in ESG rating. Strategy pillar 2, which is related to distribution and sales and generally energy services in the last year. In our distribution grid we connected 18,000 photovoltaic power plants. In total we are actually, we have connected 157,000 photovoltaic plants. We also acquired through GasNet which was an acquisition of 2024. So Gasnet actually acquired a company called Gas Distribution from E.ON, which means that we control entire distribution of gas in the country with the exception of the capital city of Prague. We also fully digitalized our retail application, all 46 key customer processes using application MyChess. We also grow our e-mobility charging stations. We reached the milestone of 1,000 charging stations. delivered more than 14 million kWh to our customers. We are also converting those that are the oldest ones into fast chargers, so something that we definitely do not underestimate. And as I said in the comprehensive ESG rating by the rating aggregator CSR Hub, we are among 7% best companies in the world. Coming to slide number 7, you can actually see that in 2025, zero emission operations generated 91% of our group EBITDA, where the customer segment is growing significantly. So we moved actually zero emission EBITDA generation from 84% to 91%. And you can see also detailed split between segments actually on the right side of the slide. Financial outlook for 2026, which is important information. Our EBITDA is estimated to reach 103 to 108 billion CZK and adjusted that income 27 to 31 billion. This is a decline compared to 2025, which is caused by few factors. The most important one is actually decrease in power prices. Year-on-year change in power prices will be about €20 per MWh on average, which is Probably the steepest decline in our history and will have an impact of 18 to 22 billion CZK. We will also be subject to different schedules of planned outages at nuclear facilities. change or replacement of fuel, meaning that last year we achieved 32.1 TWh, this year it will be around 30 TWh for exactly the same reasons that 2026 is the year of replacing the fuel. in most of the reactors. We have also, we are estimating lower margin in commodity sales to end-use customers, negative influence of correction factors in electricity distribution, and on the positive side we expect higher margin in gas distribution because of acquisition of company called Gas Distribution as of January 15th of 2026. We also are not subject to windfall tax any longer which ended at the end of last year. So no windfall tax at all. Assumptions that actually this estimate is based on is total generation in Czech Republic. Our power plants between 43 and 45 terawatt hours. Average chief price of electricity 103 to 108 euros per megawatt hour and average purchase price of emission allowance is 78 to 80 euros per tonne. Now we can move on to total financial results on slide 10. Starting with EBITDA, which I already covered, we basically achieved the same level of EBITDA as in 2024. we had lower income taxes mainly due to deferred tax accounting and then we get actually to 27.4 billion Czech crown net income after adjustments is 28.1 billion Czech crowns. Our ca.tax reached very similar again number as in 2024 56.1 billion Czech crowns or 1% lower than in 2024. Net debt is slightly higher, increased by 5% to almost 1,214 billion Czech crowns. Important slide number 11. You can actually see how we get from 131.5 to 137.5 to 137 billion check rounds. Although those numbers seem to be basically identical, there were many movements both directions. We had a negative impact of falling power prices between 24 and 25, and this impact was close to 16 billion, partially offset by extending fuel replacement cycle, which brought us actually positive 6.2 billion compared to 2024. We also had a lower generation volume of hydro plants because of relatively dry winter of 2025. Our trading is down by 4 billion. First lower gains or profits from pro trading due to significantly lower volatility than in 2024. And we had also other changes in derivatives of 2.4 billion. Mining, slightly lower EBITDA compared to 2024, the difference is 1.3 billion. And then actually we have positive segments, just distribution plus 5.4 billion. mainly due to higher allowed revenues thanks to growing investments into distribution assets of 2.8 billion, correction factors which were positive in 2025 of 800 million Czech crowns and other effects of 1.8 billion mainly other allowed revenue. We also added GasNet into our portfolio as of 1st of September 2024. So it was in our books for only 1 third of 2024 and therefore there is a significant variance in 2025 where GasNet was included for full 12 months. And the variance is 7.8 billion cheque rounds. And we were also successful in our sales segment, both retail, wholesale and escrow activities, which brought another 3.7 billion more than in 2024. On the next slide, you can actually see the share of our customer segments in total EBITDA. and how it's growing. Actually on the left side you can see generation segment that generated 84.4 billion check rounds EBITDA or 17% decline year-on-year. On the other hand our distribution and sales segment is up by 47% to 53 billion check rounds and this is something that we will be witnessing in the future as well. On the next slide you can see actually changes in the net income. Probably one of the largest variances is actually depreciation amortization. where the variance is 13.1 billion negative mainly caused again by consolidation of Gasnet which brought additional 6.3 billion CZK in depreciation and also full effect of accelerated depreciation of our coal-fired facilities which is another 4.9 billion CZK. We basically did not have any asset impairments as such So positive variance of 1.9 billion is attributable to actually the impairment in 2024 of 1.9 billion which was related to coal mining activities. Other income expenses are 3.3 billion Czech crowns higher, mainly due to higher interest expense to be paid, and then exchange rate effects and revaluation of financial derivatives. We also had a lower income tax, mainly due to deferred tax accounting due to significant change in effective tax rate between 25 and 26. So net income 27.4 and adjusted income 28.1. On the next slide, you can see EBITDA of generation and mining segments. So in zero emission generation segments, which is nuclear and renewables and trading, our EBITDA is down by 8%, very stable EBITDA actually in nuclear segment. lower in renewables mainly due to conditions, hydro conditions in the Czech Republic, and then trading is down due to lower pro-trading results and revolution of derivatives. On emission generating segments, You can see significant decline of 47%. It's important to note generation from emission sources, which in terawatt hours was very similar, as you will see later on, between 25 and 24, but in monetary terms, the drop is about 68%, actually, from 13.8 to 4.4 billion in check rounds. On the next slide you can see actually terawatt hours in our renewable and nuclear generation, growth of 5% year on year, caused mainly by nuclear facilities that actually had a record generation in our history of certainly 0.1 billion terawatt hours. Next year, actually, we will see drop of 4% overall, 6% of nuclear because of actually fuel replacement outages in family nuclear power plant. Then electricity generation from coal and natural gas. 7% decline mainly caused by the fact that we no more owned in 2025 Polish power plants. So in total we produce 16 TWh with coal generation being fairly flat actually between the years. The same will be the case for 2026 where we plan to produce about 14 TWh of coal power. and 3 TWh of natural gas mainly due to the fact that we will produce 1 TWh more than originally produced in 2025 and the reason is that we had a planned outage actually which was relatively long in 2025 and we will have much less of it in 2026. Last slide, important slide actually on power generation and our hedges. We also added numbers for 2025. So in 2025 we actually had average achieved price of 121 euros at full volume of 44.7 terawatt hours. 2026 was 87% hedged, and those numbers are as of the end of December 2025, at average 95. You may remember that we actually said that our average achieved price will be somewhere between 100 CRE and 108 EUR per MWh, meaning that those 13% of unsold power will be sold at higher prices. due to peaks and opportunities on the market, so it should blend our portfolio upwards, or average achieved price upwards above 100. We also show carbon credits that are purchased against power price from coal plants that was sold. So that's all for me, and now I hand the word to Pavel.

Well, thank you, Martin. I'll walk you through the market developments and also developments of the customer segment. As for the market developments, the good news is that we are seeing electricity consumption to start recovering. We have a second year of electricity growth in EU on average and in Czechia first year of electricity growth since the crisis. 1.8% to some degree, but only about a third can be contributed to weather, and the rest is to some recovery of the industry, but also electrification, people switching to heat pumps, and in general using electricity more. So I think that's a good sign. In terms of prices, I would say the long-term story for the wholesale prices doesn't change in our view much. In the market, the further years, our wholesale prices are decreasing, driven by increased share of renewables in the region and also lowering price of gas. At the same time, we are right now in the middle of a price increase caused by the war in Iran. That's why we showed both of these numbers, prices as of end of February, so right before, the war and prices as of two days ago when we finalized this material. And you see the prices going up for the next year, 27. You will see even higher increase of prices for the month of April and potentially May. But you also see the longer term effect is not expected. So this is what's happening in the market. And now let's look at the results. Martin already mentioned that both of the distribution and sales results did very well, growing almost 50% on the distribution side and 41% on the sales segment side. Also, we are very happy about the results. There is a strong underlying dynamic and fundamentals in both of these segments. At the same time, these fundamentals do not lead to 50% or 40% growth, so let me kind of break it down. In terms of distribution, 2025 was the first year of full consolidation of GasNet, again mentioned. If you would look at GasNet year on year without the effect of partial and full consolidation, you see about 10% growth. So that's where we are in terms of the fundamentals. In terms of electric city distribution, there was a number of correction factors in 2025, which hiked up the EBITDA beyond the fundamentals. Again, the fundamentals are kind of 8% to 10% growth of EBITDA, which corresponds to the increased investments. But here the 23% is also driven by correction factors. I think you can look at page 35 to see the guidance on what is kind of the fundamentals and what are the one-offs that will be returned to the customers two years down the road. On both of these segments, we expect a healthy growth going forward, also for year 2026, but again on the fundamentals, without the correction factors. So that's why I'm highlighting it. You will see a drop in the actual results, but if you look at the kind of normalized EBITDA, again, 8-10% growth on both gas and electricity. In terms of sales, to some degree a similar story. I think we are doing well in growing our portfolio, growing our energy services businesses at the same time. Both the 24 and 25 were hit by some kind of one-off effects which which created this kind of 41 growth i think again uh something like uh 10 percent growth a year on year is what we are aiming for uh on on the if you look at the kind of fundamentals in our business In terms of the consumption, I already mentioned the numbers on the country level. Now here are the individual distributors, 1% on electricity, 7% on gas. The slight difference between our distribution and the country level is driven by the fact that the country level is being reported The full consumption, even the part of the consumption which is self-consumed of photovoltaic generation, here obviously it's net only what comes through the actual grid. In terms of our Supply business here focus on retail. We see 5% growth in volume and stable development of portfolio. The volume growing more in natural gas both because our portfolio of natural gas is growing more and also because the somewhat colder 2025 affects more the gas supply business. In terms of the energy services, again, I think the fundamentals of the business are growing well. The drop in the revenues is to a large degree driven by two effects. One is one effect of changes of methodology for reporting revenues in 2024. and also by the fact that some of our revenues are driven by commodity prices, some of the services have commodity price component in them, and obviously if the overall volume or the price of the commodity goes down, the revenues go down, but we see EBITDA growing in both of these. If you look at 2025 and you don't compare it to 2024 but to 2023, you see a very healthy growth of over 20 percent on the foreign energy services companies. Again, the outlook is around 10 to 12 percent growth, which corresponds, as I mentioned several times, to kind of the fundamental growth that we are aiming. The overall priorities as a closure, this does not relate to only the customer segments, but all of our activities. Martin mentioned the achievements. Now, the strategic priorities are basically along similar priorities. Our strategy for 2030 does not change. So we will again aim at maximizing the generation from nuclear. Again, it was already mentioned that even if we maximize it, With 18 months campaign, we'll see more fluctuation in the actual generation. So here we have a year with the actual outages for fuel replacement. We will also focus further on renewables and battery system development. As you know, we have won a significant volume of support both for photovoltaic and for batteries, and we are now working on the projects to put them online using these subsidies. We'll also work on modernizing our heating business and switching from coal to gas, Jetmanovice being the site that will be the first one to be fully replaced, but we're also building up the facilities into Šimica and Premica. This will not replace the coal power immediately, but it will allow us to basically decouple the production of heat and electricity will produce heat when people need it and electricity only when times are right. We are working on making the whole Ignite kind of supply chain, if you will, as flexible as possible so we can operate it profitably for some more limited time. We will also work, and we are already working on new gas-fired projects, which are simply as a backup gas power without heat supply. The new Minister of Industry and Vice Prime Minister Sochalicek announced it as a part of his economic strategy. He aims to launch first auctions, capacity auctions for gas backup power by the end of this year and we want to be ready with our projects for this. Last but not least, on the generation side, we'll obviously continue on working on the small manual reactor program as well as supporting the government in its Dukovane large nuclear program. In terms of the customer segments, I'll just highlight a couple of things. One is we will continue investing in the distribution and then as an effect both satisfying the need for electrification but also growing our regulated asset base and with this driving our profits. We'll also work on installing more smart meters. By the end of this year we will finish the first phase which is to install smart meters for all the customers above six megawatt hours of consumption and we will do that and then there will be further phases that come after. We'll also invest in our gas distribution network with this, both for GasNet, the original GasNet and gas distribution, which, as again, you've heard, we acquired from, or GasNet acquired from E.ON in January. And last but not least, we'll work on all the energy services and our supply business, so we maintain a healthy profitability, we actually grow the business. And with this, we retain our number one position in providing all the energy services. And finally, we'll also work on our public charging station network, focus on increasing the megawatt output of it, and with the goal to surface 140 megawatts by the end of this year. And with this, I think we've gone through the whole presentation in varieties.

already to talk your question we give you a couple of seconds to raise your hand and I will call your name and you will be able to unmute yourself. So the first question comes from Piotr Jentzowski.

Hi, good afternoon everybody. Thank you for presentation. I have two please. So the first one I wanted to ask you about this effect of the nuclear plants refueling, the one that is responsible for like a 5, 6 billion drop, if I remember correctly. So how often do you expect this cycle to appear? When we were about to normalize, is it like every two years or how should we think about it? And the second question is I wanted to ask you theoretically if you can add any comment, but Mr. Havlicek mentioned there were some press articles that he wants Chess to pay for the possible takeover. So can you tell us purely theoretically, is it possible that you pay for the top company shares with some of your assets through some kind of offering people other shares of your DSO or something? Is it technically possible because of how you vote and how you would take such a decision? Thank you.

Well, in terms of the... In terms of the outages, well, it's 18 months, right? So, like, if you look at the whole years, it will appear that sometimes it's every year, and then it's every two years, right? Because it's like the 18 months will circulate. So, now, 2026 is the year with more outages, and years 2027 and 2028 will be the years, again, which will be much closer to the 32 terawatt hours, and then again, what is then, 20 something... 29 will be again a year with lower output. In terms of the discussed transaction by Mr. Havlicek, the fact that the government would like to regain 100% of generation as they put it in their government's program and strategy, I don't think I have any comment on this. In terms of the corporate law, I think you can look into it with the right lawyers and at this moment we don't have any further comments. We are obviously seeing what the government says and we are looking into it, but there is nothing we can publish at this moment.

I understand. Thank you very much.

Okay, so I do not see any further questions. So, as always, if some further... Oh, okay, so there is one question. It is from the call, a phone, from Plus33. So, yeah, go ahead. Okay, so in the meantime, we have a follow-up from Piotr again.

Yes, if nobody wants to ask questions, I will continue maybe with mine. I wanted to ask you, what is your view on this EPS reform and on the power market design reform? There's a meeting coming up on 19th of March. Do you have any views on it and the follow-up to it? How is the chess? I mean, I guess you are quite sensitive. How do you see the sensitivity to the CO2 prices now versus end of a decade? How do you think the market will change and how you would be benefiting or losing out because of the prices of CO2?

Look, we take and we've learned... to take it like this already since the very beginning that this is something that is very political and we don't get directly involved on it. We just, we always call on it for good predictability so we can make the right investments. In terms of the dynamics, one of the reasons, implicit reasons in the forward downward sloping price curve is the fact that the effect of CO2 is less prominent the further you go, because obviously renewables don't pay any CO2, and gas pays significantly less than coal, or emits significantly, so the effect of CO2 is significantly lower. So if you look at the, already towards the, let's say, end of the decade, 2030, the prices and beyond, the effect of EU ETS prices on us is significantly reduced compared to what it would be today.

Okay, I understand. And then I also, maybe last follow-up from me, I think I've seen a headline that you plan to sell your German wind assets, so I just wanted to follow up if this is true and why would you take such a decision?

Look, it is true that we are testing this sale and the fact is that we simply need to do business where we have the scale to be effective and to be market leader. And this is not a situation with our German wind. We can obviously, if we don't have, you know, good prices or good offers for it, we can still keep it and operate it. But at the same time, if there's a good offer, we would entertain it. And this is the sole reason that it's kind of, we are subscale on the German market.

Understood. Thank you very much.

We can take the next question from Petr Bartek.

Good afternoon. Thank you. One question regarding the nuclear development. I read in the newspaper quite regularly that there is a plan to launch not only the units in Dukovane, but also new units in Termarine in some time, and also SMRs, so very, very ambitious plans, I don't know whether by chess or by the government. So my question would be where you want to sell the electricity, if you are looking for buyers, maybe offering some long-term PPAs to the hyperscalers and so on. Are you trying to get some demand for this plan? Thank you.

I guess two things. One is, it is DUCO-182, so now basically government who owns the options to continue with the nuclear program with KFNP. That's kind of number one thing. So, we still hold the site, but this would need to be resolved as a part of the discussion on continuing with Tamarins 3 and 4. Avice Dukovane, 5-6, potentially I guess Tamarins 3 and 4, but this is to be seen, have a CFD. or PPA, or it's kind of combination PPA slash CLD. So, from RISC perspective, for the projects as such, PPAs are not needed to secure the income from cell electricity. Now, at the same time, we as CHESS are looking at long-term PPAs, also for the current assets. Given that most of the PPAs are sought in the same country, in the same region, it's not that we would offer PPAs from our stations to Germany, because that would bring the border risk. So we are basically following the data center project that are being developed here, are being discussed, and every time there is an interest in lower-term contracts to supply such a data center, we are definitely interested in discussing it. As you know, there is no big data center fully confirmed for construction yet, so we also cannot... announce any confirmed PPA yet, but this is something that we are looking at.

Okay, thank you.

The only raised hand is again from the Paris phone number, someone who called via the phone, so if you still want to ask a question, please unmute yourself.

Press start 6, please.

Hello, can you hear me?

Yeah, hi Arthur.

Thank you very much. Yes, Arthur from Morgan Stanley. Apologies for the first question. So I have, well, my first question is about the commodity market environment at the moment. I was just keen to get a little bit of your view on what's happening. your trading activities, your profits in trading were weaker in 2025. I'm just wondering if the current environment is basically more favorable to these activities, and what are your assumptions in your 2026 guidance regarding trading? And the second question I have is a bit of a follow-up on discussions around, CO2 prices, broader ideas around power reform at the European level. I was just wondering if basically that would, if ever there were any change made at the European level, if that is perceived in the Czech Republic as being potentially a substitute to a change in control of Czechs and the the potential plan to nationalize the group by the government. Thank you very much.

Yes indeed, the 2025 year was not favorable for the traders, with the whole year being pretty boring and flat. And I think those of you who follow more of the trading companies, I think there are a number of trading companies that are struggling to even make profit at all after deducting the costs. So it is the case. Obviously the volatility that we now see creates opportunities, not that again that the rest us in the chat group, or maybe also the rest of the market would be happy about these volatilities, but for traders specifically, they do create opportunities. But in general, we don't publish the detailed kind of forecasts. The trading always starts from zero. And each trader is motivated to make as much money as possible. but we don't really make predictions, we only announce the P&L always like by quarter by quarter how successful the traders were. Could you maybe just, sorry, quickly repeat the last questions about the change of control and EU? Sorry, I didn't

Yeah, I was just wondering if I know there are discussions at the European level around the way power prices are set, the fact that carbon plays a big role in them and, well, little is equal to higher prices. I was wondering if ever there is any change on that, any reform that would lead to lower power prices. Would that be enough for... the state to reconsider, the government to reconsider its ambition to get control of CHES's power assets. Because as far as I understand, part of the reason to take control was to have better control of power prices.

Okay. Honestly, I don't know the answer to this question. It's basically two speculations in sequence. One is that the European Commission actually does change the European market in one way or another. And secondly, how does the government react to it? And I don't know the answer to neither of the two. So I cannot give you any guidance on this.

Okay, understood. Thank you very much.

We can take the next question from Lukasz Piasecki.

Hello, Lukasz Piasecki from EPUB and mySecurity. Thank you for your presentation. I have two questions. First, we know test electricity price hedging, but what is the test hedging strategy for the check your exchange rate? And second one, does Czech maintain nuclear fuel inventories? And if so, how many months or years of coverage do they currently provide? And those are my two questions. Thank you.

You know, so first answer, first question. Yes, we do actually check Crown and Euro. but mainly through natural hedges. As you know, I would say that basically 90% of our debt is raised through bonds that are euro bonds. So having actually income in euros from selling power in euros, we also have debts in euros, you know, so this is a natural hedge and the part that is not naturally hedged is hedged on the financial markets but it's a very small part compared to the natural hedge, you know. So that's the first question.

Right, and in terms of the nuclear fuel, yes, we do keep a stock of fresh nuclear fuel. We have increased the stock since the war in Ukraine, and it's basically multiple years. I think on average, if I average it out, it's about three years.

Thank you.

The next question comes from Andrzej Kedzierski.

Hi, Andrzej Kedzierski, PKR Equity Research. My question is about demand growth in 2026 and what are your expectations and do you see any demand from the data center in Czechia? Thank you.

Look, I think we are on gas, we are definitely optimistic in terms of demand growth, that's number one, because we will see more switching from coal to gas for heating. On electricity, I think we are optimistic as well, we do see recovery, people switching to electricity, both industry and household. The exact effect of 2026 can be heavily impacted by weather. Now the start of the year was colder than average, so if that would be the situation that would only strengthen the fundamental growth, obviously we'll see how the rest of the year goes. And in terms of data center, I already mentioned that we do see data center developers going around in the country. I think there will be data centers being developed and constructed. But no construction has been announced yet, so it's in the process of making it. And again, we are talking to them both for the general need, connection to distribution and in general electricity supply, but we are also looking at longer time contracts as a contractual agreement.

Okay, at this point we don't have any questions, so let me conclude the call. Investor Relations is always happy to answer any follow-ups. We will be here today and in coming days. Thank you very much for participation. Thank you.

Goodbye. Goodbye. Thank you very much.
