Good day, ladies and gentlemen, and a warm welcome to today's earnings call of the Bajaj Mobility AG following the publication of the first quarter financial figures of 2026.

I am delighted to welcome CEO, Gottfried Neumeister; and CFO, Petra Preining, who will guide you through the presentation followed by a Q&A session, where we would be happy to take your questions.

And with that, I'm handing over to you, Mr. Neumeister.

Gottfried Neumeister
CEO & Chairman of Executive Board

Thank you very much. Good morning, USA. Good afternoon, Europe, and good evening, Asia. We are really happy and glad to be able to speak to you for the first time after a Q1 result.

We have changed our historic pattern of only publishing twice a year half yearly and full year to now quarterly reports. And as said, this is our first quarterly earnings call. And therefore, happy to bring this transparency to you.

I think it will -- the whole company will also benefit from this increased transparency. Yes, of course, our competitors are closely watching and eyeing. But overall, I think it's the right and positive step.

Let me capture first really the big milestones and achievement. And it's really good to finally being able to speak about our success. Some have faced it and there were some feelings and now to being able to present it to you really black and white with results and with a clear positive trend is very important for us, but also for our employees, for all customers and everybody
