And tomorrow, we will also publish a subtitled version of this presentation on our webpage. With that said, I will hand it over to you, Martin. Welcome.

Thank you so much, Katarina. My name is Martin Stenström, and as Katarina said, I am relatively new as CEO at B3. I have almost worked for three months. I think it's great that you come here and listen to our quarterly report, which is the first quarterly report that I can present. It has been a very intensive start on my job as new CEO. We have had an intensive period with increasing our operating rate and creating new revenues. And then we have also managed to do the largest pre-work in the history of B3, which we will talk more about later. But before we go into the agenda, I would like to tell you a little about our culture. This is what forms the B3 company and B3 employees. The culture of course consists mostly of our employees, but important components in it is also our vision that we will be the best consulting company for employees, customers and owners in that order. Because we strongly believe that if we manage to attract and retain the best employees, we will be able to deliver very good services to our customers, and the customers will then buy more, and then we will naturally increase our revenues and profitability, and then our owners will also be satisfied. Our values, energy, experience and quality are also important components that we use in everyday life to develop the company. And if you add our team B3 activities that we have in the picture, it is a strong cohesion factor and creates a lot of good feelings among our employees. And we have earlier, and even today, we will tell a little about saving costs, but when it comes to our cultural activities, we do not save, but we invest. But we move on. Then it is time to present one of our subsidiaries. As a tradition, we usually have a subsidiary to present at these meetings. And today it is BT Networks that we are going to talk about. And that will be done by Jens Rutgersson, CEO of BT Networks. And through that I hand over the word to Jens.
