Thank you, Sandra, and welcome from Heidelberg here with, as usual, Dominik Von Achten, CEO; Rene Aldach, our CFO; and the IR team. And after going through some prepared remarks, we get ample time for your questions.

So with that, very short intro over to you, Dominik.

Dominik von Achten
Chairman of Managing Board

Christoph, thanks. Hello, everybody. Great to have you on the call. Thanks for joining. Look, we had an interesting quarter in the start of 2026. Robust performance from our perspective, but quite significantly impacted by weather in U.S., Europe and partially, in Africa. So the revenue side, EUR 4.5 billion, RCO, EUR 0.2 billion, down from prior year quarter, but important for us, positive price over cost. And that, to a large extent, mitigates the volume impact that has been driven by the weather.
