Welcome everyone and thank you for joining us.

The results press release is available to download on our website, along with the slides that we'll be using during today's call. Please note that some of the information discussed on the call today will include forward-looking statements that reflect our current views. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results or trends to differ materially from our forecast.

Thank you and good afternoon everyone. First I will talk to the highlights for the second quarter of 2026. This will be followed by a more detailed review of our financial performance by Mark. I will then return to talk about our operations in Norway and our tender pipeline before we open for Q&A. Turning to slide 3. In the second quarter, the group delivered adjusted EBITDA of $471 million, representing over 30% growth year-on-year and a margin of 24%. This was underpinned by strong project execution in both business units. We continue to see good order intake with a $2.1 billion backlog booked in the quarter, giving us a robust backlog of $13.6 billion and high visibility for the second half of 2026 and 2027. With seven months of the year under our belt, and a strong operational and financial performance to date, we have raised our guidance for full year EBITDA margin. Slide 4 shows details of our backlog, which continues to increase in quality in terms of both margins and terms and conditions. After strong order intake in the quarter, the backlog for subsea and conventional has reached a new all-time high of $11.8 billion, while the order book for renewables was maintained just below $2 billion. We have a combined backlog for execution in the second half of 2026 of $3.9 billion, giving us excellent visibility over the remainder of the year. and our backlog of $5.9 billion for 2027 supports our positive view of the years ahead. As a reminder, the Middle East accounts for single digit percentages of our backlog. We are currently commencing the offshore phase of CRPO 153 and this is progressing as planned with all the necessary resources to begin pipeline operations in the Gulf. This contract represents 1% of our backlog, with the vast majority of our Middle East exposure represented by CRPO 148, which is due to go offshore in 2027, with the bulk of operations in 2028. And now I'll hand over to Mark to run through details of our financial performance.
