Anthony Paul J. Smurfit - Smurfit Kappa Group plc - Group CEO & Director

Thank you, operator, and good morning, and thank you all for taking the time to join us today. I am joined on the call by our group CFO, Ken Bowles. And before commencing, we would refer you to the note on forward-looking statements set out in our trading update, which also applies to our discussion today.

Looking at the first 9 months, our team has again delivered a strong performance, with EBITDA up 11% year-on-year to EUR 1.257 million with our key metrics at or ahead of our stated targets. This good performance has been driven by demand growth, continued focus on box pricing and cost efficiencies, the medium-term plan and our geographic diversity. This result once again demonstrates the strength of the group.
