Good morning here from Frankfurt. Welcome to all of you. Thanks for the interest. We'll give you an update on our Q2 results on strategic outlook and milestones and on the business going forward for the rest of the year.

Sitting with me today are our CEO, Carsten Spohr; and our Board Member, Michael Niggemann who is also Acting CFO. And as always, after the presentation, you have the chance to ask questions. But also, as always, we ask you to limit your questions to two, so that everybody can participate.
