Thank you. This is Stina Lindhök. I'm CEO at CBUS and with me I have Per-Lena Olofsson. It's been a stable quarter for CBUS with increasing earning capacity per share linked to the transactions we made during the quarter. But before I present the result further, I'll just give you a short CBUS presentation for those of you who don't know CBUS. before. CBUS focus on grocery properties and we have now business in seven countries, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and the Benelux countries. And we are the sole listed daily goods real estate company in the Nordics. The aim is to create stable and over time growing cash flows. We Why grocery focus? Daily goods tenants are characterized by the non-cyclical underlying business. Food is essential for everyone, regardless of the wallet and regardless of the economy. And the grocery store often stick to the location over a longer period, depending on the customer habits. At the map shown, Every plot, more or less, representing a grocery store, a place where people every day come and buy food. And this is the fundament for our stable business. This portfolio is a good start to continue growth in the existing market and investigate new markets in Europe. The financial summary for the quarter, Pia-Lena will get deeper into that soon, but I would like to highlight that profit from property management per share increased with 7% since last quarter. A few more things I would like to highlight. We had a stable underlying business and increasing occupancy rate. The net operating income has increased with 15% and the occupancy rate is now up to 96.1 from 95.3, depending on both new lettings, but mainly better occupancy rate in newly bought properties and divestment of some vacant properties. We still have focus on letting, especially in Finland, where we have hired three people who will focus on leasing and management. And this is also a step from outsourced to insourced management. And it's the way both become closer to dependence, but this will also give us some cost savings. We have had continued growth during the quarter. 24 properties were closed at a value of €107 million. And as a consequence of those transactions, the earning capacity increased since last quarter up to 1.11 per share, which is an increase of 3% since last quarter. We see a strong capital market, and as all of you probably are aware of, we still have a volatile interest rate market linked on unpredictable environment with a continued risk of increased inflation. But on the positive side, the banking and capital markets remain stable and are willing to support the business in Cebus. We're also in queue 2, so positive market value. During the quarter, property values increased by 2.3 million euro, so small increased value change. All market had stable and or increasing valuation. We have sold five properties and bought 24 properties, and that means that the portfolio now consists of 690 properties. The value is 2.8 billion net operating income from earnings capacity, totals of 176 million euro, giving a yield of 6.4% in line with last quarter. The grocery markets in Nordic are dominated by a small number of well-established grocery chains, which makes most of the tenants stable and professional. Our tenant mix is intact, with Kesko as the biggest tenant, followed by Tokmoney. Worth mentioning is that Tokmoney continues to convert the Tokmoney stores to Eurospar, which means more focus on grocery than they had before. This is a slide I say I come back to every quarter, but it is important so I repeat. Stable cash flow is the key for our strategy and today 82% of the rental income is coming from daily good tenants. 94% of the properties are anchored by those grocery tenants and furthermore 98% of the leases are CPI-linked. The average contract length is 5.9 years, and more than 90% have net or triple net leases, which make us less sensitive for energy prices and cost increases. The average property is 2,100, which means that the exposure each property or store is relatively small. In addition, we protect the cash flow with a hedging ratio of 96%. As mentioned, we closed 24 properties at an acquisition price of 107 million euro this quarter. And those properties are located in Finland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark with an occupancy rate of 99.5%. And the anchor tenants are Top Money Lidl in Finland, Rema Tusen in Norway and Denmark and E-Games Sweden. Those properties are generally in a very good standard and are located in established areas where the underlying operations perform well. This acquisition both strengthens the quality and increased earnings per share as shown in the Q2 figures. We have also divested five non-strategic properties with high vacancy, three of which are in Finland and two in Sweden. at values in line with book value 5.5 million euro. Those investments only reduce the net operating income by 92,000 euro at a basis. So basically that's 1.7% of initial yield and we see that we can invest those Just some examples of new lettings during the quarter. We proactively developed a case supermarket together with our tenant Kesko in Kopio. And at the same time, we also signed a long lease agreement with that tenant. We also made a new letting where Alma in Denmark has signed a new lease agreement on a vacant area in one of our properties there. We have much focus on letting go forward.

Well, let me start off by highlighting some key events during the quarter. As Sina has already mentioned, during the quarter CBUS has acquired 24 properties, the majority of which were announced on the 28th of April. During the second quarter, CBUS also updated its green financing framework, which is in line with the EACMA green bond principle and the EU taxonomy. At the AGM, CBUS removed Nordic from its company name and also appointed Louise Grisnau and Stefan Dagbo as new board members. At the AGM in June, CBUS increased its share capital to 15 million euros through a transfer from unrestricted equity. Over to the P&L, net operating income amounted to 45.1 million euros and included a one-off settlement income of 1.3 million euros relating to tenants early vacating a property in Denmark. Administration costs include minus 0.3 million euros relating to the EGM's approved warrant program. During the quarter, we have recruited four employees to strengthen in-house letting and property management, increasing short-term costs, but is expected to generate long-term savings by bringing services in-house that are now outsourced. Net financial items include exchange rate changes of minus 0.8 million euros, Profit from property management excluding non-recurring items and FX effects was €22.6 million. Property values were slightly higher or stable with the portfolio yield remaining at 6.4%. Interest rate derivatives contributed negatively due to market rate movements. Looking at the current earnings capacity, rental income primarily increased through acquisitions with additional support from indexation. Net financial items increased following acquisitions financing. The new higher hybrid bond cost is fully reflected in the quarter as the bond financed acquisition completed during the quarter. Profit from property management, excluding non-cash items and hybrid bonds expenses increases by 6% year-on-year to 1.11 euros per share. Looking at the net operating income in a comparable portfolio, the impact from changes in vacancy amounted to minus 2.3 million euros, primarily attributed to the previous announced vacancy in Finland. Rental income from grocery and daily goods segment was positive in the second quarter. The impact from tenant transition was minus €0.7 million, reflecting proactive asset management initiatives that are expected to support future earnings. Indexation contributed with plus €2.1 million, Net operating income in the like-for-like earnings capacity decreased by minus 1.1% to 154.6 million euros, while acquisitions contributed growth of 13.3%, resulting in a total growth of 12.7% to 176.2 million euros. Sibus reports its segments by country with Finland remaining the largest market accounting for 47% of the NOI. Denmark was second largest market in the second quarter at 17%. However, this includes the non-recurring settlement income of 1.3 million euros relating to a tenant early vacating a property. Excluding this item, Denmark and Belgium each account for approximately 16% of the NOI. The property value amounted to 2.8 billion euros at quarter end. Secured debt amounted to 1.4 billion euros corresponding to a secured loan-to-value ratio of 49.8%. including unsecured bonds of €308 million, the net loan-to-value was 59.1%. The EFRA NRV remained stable at €13 per share. Regarding the average remaining lease term, it also continues to be very stable and was unchanged at 5.9 years at quarter end. Regarding funding, the increase in bank loans were primarily driven by the acquisition completed during the quarter, and we continue to see strong support from our banking partners. On the bond side, we updated our green financing framework to align with the latest ECMA green bond principle, reaffirming our commitment to sustainable financing. Regarding hybrid bond, We completed the repayment of the remaining outstanding portion of the previous called bond in April and thereby finalizing the refinancing process. CBUS is 96% hedged against interest rate risk through a combination of interest rate cap swaps and fixed rate loans. As part of the hedging consists of caps, the negative impact of higher market interest rates is limited, while lower market interest rates have a greater positive effect on earnings, as illustrated in the sensitivity analysis. Looking at our key credit metrics, they all remain within our internal targets and covenant levels providing solid headroom. Net debt to EBITDA increased slightly to 10.8 times during the quarter and this is typical during acquisition intensive periods as debt increase immediately while EBITDA is built over time. On a forward-looking basis, net debt to EBITDA was 10.1 times. Sibus continues to advance its energy transition with an increasing number of properties being converted to renewable heating solutions, resulting in lower emissions. At quarter end, the value of CBUS taxonomy aligned assets amounted to slightly more than 1.1 billion euros. Before I hand over to Stina for closing remarks, I would like to say a heartfelt thank you.
