Cary Segall

Welcome to ADS-TEC Energy's Full-Year 2021 earnings call. My name is Cary Segall and I head Investor Relations for the company. A recording of today's call and a presentation can be accessed shortly after it concludes from the Investors section of our website. Joining me on today's call, are Thomas Speidel, Founder and CEO of ADS-TEC Energy, and Robert Vogt, the CFO of ADS-TEC Energy. Today, we will be discussing ADS-TEC's latest financial results for full-year 2021, guidance for 2022, and conclude with a Q&A session. Please enter questions through the questions option in go-to webinar and they will be addressed in the order they are received as a conclusion of our prepared remarks. During the call, management will be making forward-looking statements regarding full-year 2022 and our outlook for expected growth in investment initiatives.

These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control and could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, including among other risks and uncertainties, the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain issues, and geopolitical challenges. These forward-looking statements apply as of today and we undertake no obligation to update these statements after the call. For a more detailed description of factors that could cause actual results to differ, please refer to the Risk Factors section of our annual report on Form 20-F previously filed with the SEC and posted to the Investors section of our website. Also, please note that financial measures presented on this call adhere to IFRS and non - IFRS. We use non - IFRS measures because we believe they provide useful information about our operating performance that should be considered by investors in conjunction with the IFRS measures that we provide. A reconciliation of these non-IFRS measures to comparable IFRS measures is included in the earnings release and investor presentation. With that, I will turn the call over to Thomas Speidel, ADS-TEC's Founder and CEO. Thomas, it's yours.

Thomas Speidel

Thanks, Cary. And a very warm welcome from my side, dear ladies, gentlemen and ADS-TEC Energy investors. Today we would like to report to you where our company stands and why we are on the right track in terms of strategy and corporate development. The transformation to an intelligent and decentralized energy supply is still at its infancy. First of all, it is of great importance that we are perceived correctly as a company. We are not a components supplier, nor are we just a charging company or just a battery company. ADS-TEC Energy develops and produces decentralized, smart storage-based platforms that are a crucial basis for the transformation of the entire energy system. Please allow me to reiterate the following message once again, because it is vital that ADS-TEC and our vision be correctly communicated.
