Fuchs SE

Dear ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the analyst's conference call of Fuchs Petrolup SE. At our customer's request, this conference will be recorded. As a reminder, all participants will be in a listen-only mode, and after the presentation, there will be an opportunity for the analysts of Fuchs to ask questions. If any participant has difficulties hearing the conference, please press star key followed by zero on your telephone for operator assistance. May I now hand you over to Thomas Altman, Head of Investor Relations, who will lead you through this conference. Please go ahead, sir.

Thank you, Aurelia, and good afternoon to everyone. On behalf of Fuchs, I would like to welcome you to our conference call in the context of our H1 2020 results. On the call with me today is Stefan Fuchs, our CEO, and Dagmar Steiner, our CFO. Let me go briefly through our agenda for today. As usual, Dagmar will quickly take you through the H1 results. Following this, Stefan will give you some very interesting insights about our Fuchs 2025 strategy. After the presentation, we will have a Q&A session. You can find the half-year financial report, the fact sheet, our earnings press release, and our conference call presentation on our website at fuchs.com under the IR section. Having said this, I will now hand things over to Stefan.

So, good afternoon or good morning to all of you. I think it's a big pleasure for Dagmar and myself, but we are also accompanied by a lot of colleagues here. Aside of Thomas, it's also Kelvin Yeun from our Investor Relations Department, it's Nina Konsakra from our Public Relations and Benke Schlindwein from our Finance Department. As you know, we would have invited you in Frankfurt today as a substitute of our initial invitation in March, but Corona is still there, so therefore I think we make it online. Dagmar will go through the financials with you, and I will later on refer to our strategy process, which is a part of our FUCS 2025 journey, and then we are both more than happy to entertain a discussion and take all your questions. So Dagmar, it's all yours now.
