Fuchs SE

Dear ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the third quarter results 2025 analyst conference call of FUCS SE. This conference will be recorded. As a reminder, all participants will be in a listen-only mode. After the presentation, there'll be an opportunity for analysts of FUCS to ask questions. May I now hand over to Andrea Schaller, Head of Investor Relations at FUCS SE, who will start the meeting today. Please go ahead.

Yeah, thank you, Sharon. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is Andreas Schaller speaking on behalf of HooksSE. I wish you a very warm welcome to today's conference call on the nine-month earnings. Before we start, maybe let me quickly introduce myself. I'm the successor of Lutz Ackermann as new head of investor relations at HooksSE. I have almost 25 years of experience having worked in various sectors like semiconductors, building materials, and also machine building. And now I'm at the company that supplies all these sectors with very innovative lubricants. So I'm very happy to be here and just look forward to discuss the Cook's Equity story with you and support you together with my team whenever you have questions. With me on the call today are our CEO, Stefan Fuchs, and our CFO, Esma Zaglik. As always, Esma and Stefan will lead you through the presentation, followed by a Q&A session. We also have the Investor Relations team here with us, so Theresa Landau and Niklas Neff. And actually, it's Niklas' birthday today, so happy birthday, Niklas.

Hey, thank you.
