Thank you, Sonya. Welcome, everyone, to our third quarter 2024 earnings call. On this call, we have our President and Chief Executive Officer, Mikael Bratt; and our Chief Financial Officer, Fredrik Westin; and me Anders Trapp, VP, Investor Relations.

During today's earnings call, we will cover several key topics, including our sales, earnings and cash flow development, the high number of new product launches, an in-depth look at the China market and how we succeed with the growth of Chinese car manufacturers. Our strong balance sheet and asset return rate support continued high levels of shareholder returns.

Following the presentation, we will be available to answer your questions. And as usual, the slides are available at autoliv.com.

Turning to the next slide. We have the Safe Harbor statement, which is an integrated part of this presentation and, of course, includes the Q&A that follows.

During the presentation, we will reference some non-US GAAP measures. The reconciliations of historical US GAAP to non-US GAAP measures are disclosed in our quarterly earnings release available on autoliv.com. And in the 10-Q that will be filed with the SEC.

Lastly, I should mention that this call is intended to conclude at 3:00 p.m. Central European Time. So please follow a limit of two questions per person.

I now hand over to our CEO, Mikael Bratt.

Mikael Bratt

Thank you, Anders. Looking on the next slide. Firstly, I want to express my gratitude to all of our employees for their contributions to our third quarter results and their ongoing efforts to enhance our competitiveness in the near and medium-term.
