Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Evotec SE Half Year Report 2024 Conference Call. I am Udith, the Chorus Call Operator. I would like to remind you that all participants will be in listen-only mode and the conference is being recorded. The presentation will be followed by a Q&A session. [Operator Instructions] The conference must not be recorded for publication or broadcast.

At this time, it's my pleasure to hand over to Mr. Volker Braun. Please go ahead, sir.

Volker Braun

Thank you, Udith, and good day, good morning to all of you attending our H1 2024 results call today. I trust that you all have seen our press release this morning and that you have had a chance to take a look into the report already which we will discuss in more detail in the coming hours.

Before we go there, it's my obligation to make you aware of the cautionary language as outlined on Page 2. But now I would like to hand over to Christian Wojczewski, our CEO, to guide you through the deck and that we have prepared for today's call.

And please, Christian, the floor is yours.

Christian Wojczewski

Thank you, Volker, and welcome to everyone on the call. Before I share the agenda with you, I would like to introduce you to the participants in today's call. So here with me in the room, we've got Laetitia Rouxel, our CFO; we've got Craig Johnstone, COO; Cord Dohrmann, CSO; Matthias Evers, CBO on the call as well Aurelie Dalbiez, CPO.

Special thanks also to my colleagues from the Management Board. They did a tremendous job onboarding me during my first month at Evotec. Laetitia and I will guide you through the slides. And as Udith mentioned, at the end of our presentation, we will have a dedicated Q&A session. So the entire team here is available to answer your questions.
