Operator

Welcome to the HEXPOL Q1 presentation [Operator Instructions] Now I will hand the conference over to the CEO, Klas Dahlberg; and CFO, Peter Rosen. Please go ahead.

Klas Dahlberg
MD, CEO & President

Thank you, operator, and good afternoon to you all. Thank you for joining this call, and a warm welcome to the HEXPOL Q1 presentation. If you please turn to Page 2. At our Capital Markets Day in November last year, we presented our strategy for HEXPOL up to 2030. I will get back to with a few words about the strategy at the end of this presentation, but one of the clear goals we presented was to grow in thermoplastic compounding.

We have singled out that business area and created a separate business area called Thermoplastic Compounding. By that, we now have 3 business areas. It's Rubber Compounding, Thermoplastic Compounding and Engineered Products like before. As you always see, we have made some changes to our presentation to align with that new setup. I will start with the group performance and then move over to talk about the performance of each business area.

After my part, Peter will take you through the financials, and then I will make a summary of the presentation. And then we are, of course, happy to answer any of your questions. If you please turn to Page 3. During the quarter, we have kept up the momentum with an offensive approach despite market headwinds. The general market
