Thank you, and good morning, everybody. And thank you very much for joining us today to discuss Regis Healthcare's 2024 full-year results. I would like to begin by acknowledging the Wurundjeri Woiwurrung people of the Kulin Nation, traditional custodians of the land on which we meet today, and pay my respects to their elders past and present. I extend that respect to any Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander peoples joining us on the call.
I am again joined today by Rick Rostolis, our Chief Financial Officer.
