Good morning, everyone, and welcome to today's first half 204 results briefing by Regal Partners Limited. Today's results will be presented by the Chief Executive Officer, Brendan O'Connor; and Chief Financial Officer, Ian Cameron, and the briefing is being conducted by webinar and phone.
As shown on slide 6, the agenda for today is that Brendan will start with the result highlights. Ian will then cover the key financials and hand back to Brendan for a business update and outlook. This will be followed by a short question-and-answer session.
We will provide more details on how to submit questions over the phone at that point. But for those online, please feel free to submit your questions at any time during the briefing so that we can leave with those. Please note we may have media in attendance today. I'd now like to hand to Brendan.
