Good morning, everyone. I would like to thank you for attending our results webcast for the Infomedia's half-year results for 2024. I'm Jens Monsees, the CEO and Managing Director of Infomedia.
Firstly, I would like to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we meet today, the Gadigal people on the Eora Nation. We pay our respect to the elders, past and present, and extend this acknowledgement and respect to the First Peoples in all countries in which we operate.
Joining me on the call today is Chantell Revie, our CFO. She will take you through the detailed financials. You can follow along on the slides for the presentation, which was released earlier on the ASX. I will refer to the slide numbers as we move through the presentation.
From our investors, we hear that the best way to present results is by providing consistent disclosure and delivering on our strategy. I'm happy to share that our results for this half continue to demonstrate both.
