Chief Communications & Investor Relations Officer

Good morning, and thank you for joining us. Today, we have a change to how we normally manage our earnings call. Franco Stevanato, our Chief Executive Officer, is recovering from an unexpected appendectomy, and he is unable to join the call today. He is doing well, and we wish him all the best for a speedy recovery.

For today's call, Marco Dal Lago, our Chief Financial Officer, and I will deliver the prepared remarks and then open the call up for questions. I want to remind everyone that a presentation to accompany today's results is available on the Investor Relations page of our website under the Financial Results tab.

Some statements being made today are forward-looking and based on current expectations. Actual results may differ materially due to risks outlined in Item 3D, Risk Factors of our most recent annual report on 20-F filed with the SEC. Please review the safe harbor statement included at the beginning of today's presentation and in our press release. The company undertakes
