Thank you very much. Ladies and gentlemen, also from my side, a very warm welcome and many, many thanks for joining today's H1 2026 conference call. For the sake of time, let me start directly by going to the presentation. However, please allow me just some very quick personal remarks up front. The last six to seven months were very successful in regards to financial performance, credibility, technological milestones and major steps forward towards strategic execution. We are fully on track to deliver our 2026 guidance and to position us, as always communicated, in the upper half of the adjusted average range.
