Operator
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for standing by. I'm Andrea, your Chorus Call operator. Welcome, and thank you for joining the Fresenius Medical Care Q3 Results Conference Call. Throughout today's recorded presentation, all participants will be in a listen-only mode. [Operator Instructions].
At this time, it's my pleasure to hand over to Dominik, Head of Investor Relations. Please go ahead, sir.
Dominik Heger
Okay. So unfortunately, we had some technical issues, but I've heard the introduction has happened. Thank you, Andrea, for the introduction.
As already mentioned, we would like to welcome you to our earnings call for the third quarter 2023. We appreciate you joining us today to discuss the performance of the third quarter.
I will, as always, start out the call by mentioning our cautionary language that is in our safe harbor statement as well as in our presentation and in all the materials that we have distributed yesterday evening. For further details concerning risks and uncertainty, please refer to these documents as well as to our SEC filings that have already happened.
As we have a hard stop at 4:30 CET, we have prepared only a short presentation to leave time for questions regarding the quarterly earnings and for our new CFO to introduce himself. [Operator Instructions].
I'm aware that there is, with GLP-1, one dominant topic in health care research overall, which we fully understand, but we would appreciate if we could focus in this call on the quarterly business development.
With us today is, of course, Helen Giza, our CEO and Chair of the Management Board and as just mentioned, for the first time, Martin Fischer, our CFO. Having joined the company on October 1 and after quarter end, Martin will share a bit about his background and focus areas in his new role, but he will not answer questions today, but for sure in our call in February. Helen will provide an update on the business development, financial performance and outlook and will then be available for Q&A.
