Hypoport Ag

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our webcast against our Q2 results of Hypoportis E. My name is Jan Paul. I'm head of investor relations here. And I'm here with our CEO, Ronald Slapke, which I will right now join to the session. As Ronald will join, we will start the record. Just to let you know, this record will, this webcast will be recorded. And I will start the record in a few seconds. Today we have a Q&A session against our results. I think you have seen all the results. This morning we published a strong increase in revenue and earnings. So at least we are very happy to welcome you and to receive your questions. I will start the record. You have two ways to ask for a question. You can give us a sign via these three dotted spots in the menu. and then click on the button reaction. There's a blue raise your hand sign. This is something you can click on. Or, of course, you can use the chat function and type in your questions. We are happy to receive your questions and I will have this to Ronald. And I now start the record hand over to Ronald with some welcome words and we will wait for the first question. in this FAQ session.

Welcome from my side as well. Just a short introduction as you can read from the Q&A already. We delivered a good start in the year, half year. Numbers are in line with expectation and our goals for this year. And nothing surprising happened in Q2. So but still, maybe some something to explain more in detail here for you. So happy to receive your questions now.

Thank you. So just as a reminder, you can give us a type in your questions via the chat function. It's free. I will moderate this and hand this over to Ronald. And as well, just a reminder, you can also raise your hand virtual and ask for wording. I will hand this over to you as well. This in the menu on the reactions and the blue sign just to raise your hand or once again, just type it in your question.
