4C Group AB

Hello and a warm welcome to this earnings call for 4C Strategies Q4 report. My name is Jonathan Jersow and I will guide you through this webinar. With me today I have Jonas Jonsson, our CEO, and also joining us later on in the Q&A session is Anders Nogen, our CFO. I will now open the chat function for your questions that will be moderated throughout the session. At the outset here, Jonas, let's look a little bit into the activities that we've been delivering during 2024. Thank you, Jonathan.

And good morning, everyone. Good morning from Stockholm. Yes, so a little bit of a recap about what have 4C been doing, what have we been up to lately? Well, if you look at the year 2024, I think it's obvious to everyone that there is a continued build-up of military readiness around Europe and in the NATO and allied countries. 4C have been continuously supporting this through our external defence platform, which has been used to deliver over 100 exercises conducted in 2024. And the training outcome of this has been significantly enhanced by the ability to do this in a more efficient way. And if you just continue to look at numbers, we know that over 100,000 troops have been taking part of these exercises in terms of achieving an increased readiness for our NATO customers and the allied countries as well. So quite a busy year. We've had people supporting exercises across the globe, and we are continuing to support those countries and organizations and look forward to doing that in 2025 as well. If we look at the other side of our domain spectra when it comes to our resilience operations, there is a... continued increased demand as well when it comes to individual organizations and corporations to be able to do their piece when it comes to not only protecting their own brand and their own operations but also being part of this bigger ecosystem. So we see that the requirements that are coming at organizations are coming both from a shareholder perspective but also when it comes to increased legislation. And this is where our expert services, but it's also where our resilience platform comes in to support these organizations in building that resilience readiness from a risk management perspective, continuity management perspective, but also being able to handle incidents and crisis as they occur. So a very busy year last year. a strong end during Q4 and looking forward to how we will be able to continue to support this. And on the right hand side of the slide you can see a number of examples when it comes to supporting global organizations like the Shell oil industry to be better at delivering exercises when it comes to oil spill response. We've worked with media outlets like The Guardian when it comes to crisis management and incident management exercises. And as I mentioned, supported some of the largest exercises in the world when it comes to building military readiness. So a lot going on and a lot to look forward to in 2025 as well.

In your overview, Jonas, you were speaking a lot about the defense sector and how important it is for 4C and also what we're delivering to NATO and allied forces. I think it would be very good for this forum also to describe slightly more what our product actually does. So could you give us an overview of the Exynos defense?
