Siemens Ag Spons Adr

Hello.

Please stand by. We're about to begin. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Siemens 2020 second quarter conference call. As a reminder, this call is being recorded. Before we begin, I would like to draw your attention to the safe harbor statement on page two of the Siemens presentation. This conference call may include forward-looking statements. These statements are based on the company's current expectations and certain assumptions and are therefore subject to certain risks and uncertainties. At this time, I would like to turn the call over to your host today, Mrs. Sabine Reichel, Head of Investor Relations. Please go ahead, Madam.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to our Q2 conference call. All Q2 documents were released at 7 a.m. this morning. You can find everything on our website. We appreciate very much that you are joining us today, despite a public holiday in the UK. Our Deputy CEO, Roland Busch, and our CFO, Ralf Thomas, are here this morning to review the Q2 results and will give an update about Vision 2020+. Roland and Ralf will start with a presentation. We will have time for Q&A and will finish the call in about 15 minutes. And with that, Roland, please, go ahead.
