HEXPOL AB (publ)

Welcome to the HEXPOL Q2 presentation. During the questions and answer session, participants are able to ask questions by dialing pound key five on their telephone keypad. Now I will hand the conference over to the CEO Klaas Dolberg and CFO Peter Rosen. Please go ahead.

Thank you. Welcome everyone to the presentation of the second quarter of this year for HEXPOL. Today, both Claes Dahlberg, our new CEO, and myself, Peter Rosen, are present on the call. As Claes has just started at Hexpol, I will present the Q2 report. But before we start, I hand over to Claes, who would like to say a few words.

Thank you, Peter. Hello, everyone, and thank you all for joining in on the Hexpol Q2 call. I joined Hexpool some two weeks ago and prior to that I was responsible for the business area NIBE Climate Solutions, which is part of NIBE Industry or AB. I spent my first weeks here visiting our sites in Europe and in the US, meeting with the local management teams and the staff. And I must say it's been a great experience. I'm impressed by the operational excellence at the sites. People are professional and very motivated. And we are working closely with our customers in different segments. So in other words, a solid foundation that we will continue to build on. And as Peter said, I've asked him to walk you through the Q2 presentation. So I give the word back to you, Peter.
