Good day, and thank you for standing by. Welcome to the Q3 2023 Materialise Financial Results Conference Call. [Operator Instructions].

I would now like to hand the call over to our first speaker for today. Let me please introduce Harriet Fried of LHA.

Harriet Fried

Thank you for joining us today for Materialise's quarterly conference call. With us on the call are Fried Vancraen, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Materialise; Peter Leys, Executive Chairman; and Koen Berges, Chief Financial Officer.

Today's call and webcast are being accompanied by a slide presentation that reviews Materialise's strategic, financial and operational performance for the third quarter of 2023. To access the slides, if you've not already done so, please go to the Investor Relations section of the company's website at www.materialise.com. The earnings press release issued earlier today can also be found on that page.

Before we get started, I'd like to remind you that management may make forward-looking statements regarding the company's plans, expectations and growth prospects, among other things. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown uncertainties and risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed, including competitive dynamics and industry change. Any forward-looking statements, including those related to the company's future results and activities, represent management's estimates as of today and should not be relied upon as representing their estimates as of any subsequent date.

Management disclaims any duty to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect future events or changes in expectations. A more detailed description of the risks and uncertainties and other factors that may impact the company's future business or financial results can be found in the company's most recent annual report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC. Finally, management will discuss non-IFRS measures on today's call. A reconciliation table is contained in the earnings release and also at the end of the slide presentation.

With that, I'd like to turn the call over to Peter Leys. Go ahead, please, Peter.

Peter Leys

Thank you, Harriet, and thank you, everyone, for joining us today. As always, you can find the agenda for our call on Slide #3. First, I will summarize the highlights of our financial results for the third quarter of this year. Then I will pass the floor immediately to Koen, who will go through our third quarter numbers in more detail. And after that, Fried will give you some insights on the dynamics of the changing landscape of additive manufacturing software and also on the exciting upcoming changes within our company Materialise. And finally, I will come back and explain what we believe the rest of the year will bring. When we've completed our prepared remarks, we will be happy to respond to any questions that you may have.
