Thank you for coming. We will start the results of the six months. We had a very good Opening of the 2026. Our like-for-like growth is 5.6%. Our occupancy rate is 94.4. We lost around 0.9%. Retail average rent increased by 1% to 28.5 euro per square meter. Footfall growth like-for-like growth by 3.1% and the like-for-like tenant sales increased by 2.6%. The fair value grow by 2.7 million and NRI margin is 94.2. The key achievement in the first half, we signed leases for about 20,000.700 square meter. The leasing spread is 9.9%, which is impressive. The like-for-like general mall leasing increased by 26%, which is extraordinary. The operating expenses we cut for 5.5%. And we actually... buy back our bond for 26 and 27 in an amount of 252 million. We took a loan of 214 in order to stabilize our financial situation. The like for like NRI growth for the first After the year, you can see that Sweden donates almost 8%, Norway 5.8%, and Finland 4.1%. In total, the average is 5.6%, while the European average growth for this year is 3.5%. And this is actually the, I would say, third quarter, including the last quarter of last year. that we are actually beating the European average and we can see that it's not a coincidence, this is a trend. Go ahead. Regarding divestment, we signed a LOI for three assets in Finland, Murmanik, Rosikeskus and Trio. The deal is a conditional deal. On the day of the closing, the buyer which is Noga Finland will issue an IPO in the stock exchange in Tel Aviv and based on them success IPO we will do the transaction as I mentioned we signed an LOI and we believe that between today to 45 days we are expecting the closing We are in discussion with a few potential buyers regarding assets in Sweden and in Norway, but nothing is mature yet. And now I'll give the floor to Hilik to do the financial overview.

Thank you, Eshel. So, as Eshel mentioned, strong results in the performance. NRI for the quarter, 57.5 versus 53.3. That's a 7.8% growth, 5.9 with the FX adjustment. And you can see it for the half year, 5.7% growth and 3.9% with FX adjustment. And of course, taking into account the Lipo-Lavarese divestment, NRI loss, that 3.9% would grow to around 5%. Direct operating profit against, here we show 4.6% increase from 47.7% to 50.8%. Also in the half year, 4.9% increase, 96.6 million euros versus 19.4%. On the upper earnings, 17.6% resembled to the Q2 2025 earnings. and also they have here the same trend 36.6 versus 36.9 uh the emperor earnings excluding hybrids 27 25.7 sorry versus 26.3 and they have here 52.8 versus 54.3 that's 10 cents per share uh in the quarter and 20 cents uh for the half year the epra nrv landed at 7.64 and uh and versus 8.29 in Q2 2025. In the bridge you can see that our solid results in the NRI growth and the GNA reduction that is a consistent effort for management to try to cut expenses. We're subsidizing the increased cost The main driver here is the higher interest rate environment in the refinancing process and is reflected by the interest expenses, somewhat offsetted by the buyback of hybrid bonds. You can see 1.3 million euros. On the recent financing actions, we accomplished a lot of actions in the first half here, de-risking the balance sheet while extending maturities. We've done early redemptions of 2026 and 2027 bonds. On the one hand, we drew a secured loan with favorable terms, $214 million. On the other hand, the interest-bearing liabilities went down by 38 million euros quarter to quarter. And we also entered into 200 million related party credit facility where we gave a loan 70 million to GCD with 6.5% interest on length. In the amortization schedule, you can see average debt maturity was going up to 3.5 years from 3.2. Weighted average interest rate, 4.72%. That's an increase. We tried to offset it by entering into secured financing, which has favorable terms. But again, the interest environment is still higher than the current coupons. And on the key credit metrics, you can see that we're still in a very good place. Loan-to-value 51.4%. Net debt to EBITDA 10.1%. Interest coverage ratio at 2.2%. and of course Citicon is in compliance with all of its covenants.
