Hello. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining this video conference to talk about our earnings for the second quarter of 2024. As usual, we are broadcasting directly from our office in Avenida Faria Lima in Sao Paulo. Today's event will be divided into two parts. First, Milton will take you through our performance in earnings for the second quarter of 2024. And then we will have a Q&A session during which Investors and Analysts can ask questions and get into the details with us.
Before we get started, I'd like to give you a few pointers to help you make the most of today's meeting. (Operator Instructions) The presentation we will be making today is available for download on the Web site screen and as usual on our Investor Relations website.
