Nokian Tyres Plc

afternoon from Helsinki and welcome to Nokian Tyres Q4 and full year 2024 results call. My name is Taivi Antola and I am from Nokian Tyres Investor Relations and together with me in the call I have Paolo Pompei, the president and CEO of Nokian Tyres and Niko Haavisto, the CFO. Paolo, this is now your first results call in Nokian Tires. I would like to only welcome you to Nokian Tires.

Great. Thank you, Paivi. Thank you to all the Nokian employees who were actually giving a warm welcome in the company since I joined at the beginning of January. Before we start, really, I would like to really say thank you to my predecessor, first of all, because obviously, Yuka Moise left the company, retired from the company, at the end of the 2024. I think he has been excellent in driving the company in extremely difficult times. And what we have today, what we have the opportunity to leverage today is a much better platform than what it used to be. So I'd like to thank him really for the great contribution and I'm honored actually to be able to carry on his journey today.

Thank you, Paolo. And it's now been a bit more than a month that you have been leading the company. It's a new company for you, but also a new country to live in. How have you adapted to Finland and the Finnish winter weather?
