Thyssenkrupp AG

Hello, everyone. This is Andreas Troisch from Investor Relations, also on behalf of my entire team. I wish you a very warm welcome to our conference call on the nine-month results 24-25 of ThyssenKrupp. With me in the room are our CEO, Miguel Lopez, and our CFO, Axel Hamann, plus my colleagues from the Investor Relations team. I have some housekeeping before I hand over to the CEO and CFO for their presentations. All the documents for this call are available in the IR section on the website. The call will be recorded and the replay will be available shortly after the call. After the presentations, there will be the usual Q&A session for analysts. We again use Microsoft Teams for the call. In order to ask a question, you have to push the raise your hand icon and we will announce your name and open your line. If you are on mute, you must unmute yourself in addition. Please stay on mute while we do the presentation. And with that, I would like to hand over to our CEO, Miguel Lopez.
