Tack så mycket. God morgon allihopa och varmt välkomna till en presentation av B3 Consulting Groups tredje kvartal 2026. My name is Johanna Selin and I work with communication here at B3. I will soon hand over to Daniel Julin, CEO and CEO at B3, and then you will get to listen to Andre Karlsson, CFO. And a little further ahead in the broadcast, we will have the visit of Jonas and Andreas from the specialist company Rebel & Bird. They will tell about their new service and business model, Output as a Service. Vi kommer att avsluta med en frågestund och där kan ni ställa era frågor via formuläret eller mejla in till ir.b3.se. Shortly after this presentation we will also publish a subtitled version on our website. Men först, varsågod Daniel!

Stort tack Johanna! Ja, vi tittar på ett kvartal som jag skulle säga är försiktigt positivt. We are not really where we want to be, but we see many smaller signals that all point in the right direction. Above all, we see a slightly brighter market. It is definitely not high consumption, but we still see a slightly increased demand in several of the segments we operate in. In total, we end up with a sales of 228.2 million. Therefore, there is a drop compared to the previous year, but it is a smaller drop than the previous quarter. In Sweden, we have 7-8% fewer FTEs and manage to reach a better rate of extension than 3.4% in TAP. We also do this with the help of Polen, which shows growth in local currency, but in principle matches last year's sales. On the EBIT level, however, we make our best EBIT in a Q3 since 2022 and land at 10.6 million. It is an improvement of 3.1 million SEK and a marginal increase of 1.5% and ends at 4.7%. The EBITDA is above all strong due to lower costs, the savings programs we have implemented, but also a slightly higher investment, more under consultants and a slightly higher price. The profit for tax, however, is minus 2.7 million SEK. And that is due to the fact that we have income costs of 6.6 million SEK in relation to the refinancing of our obligation. It will be completed during the quarter and will give us a stable financial position for the coming years. Income per share after inflation lands on minus 38 euros. There is still a lot of variation between the subsidiaries. We have a handful, some small problem companies, where structural changes are currently being carried out, turnaround programs, and they are moving in the right direction, and in principle everyone shows a positive TB today, that is, they contribute with money to the company. We have a small segment where we find roughly a third of our subsidiaries. Pernilla Brolin Pernilla Brolin Pernilla Brolin Pernilla Brolin But about a third of our subsidiaries are actually on the train right now. They have good growth, strong profitability, reach the company's goals and where the limiting factor is actually to get hold of more talented people and that is the limiting factor. We have also won a whole lot of new customers and agreements that I will come back to a little later. I thought I would hand over to Andre for a deep dive into the numbers.
