So good morning, everybody. And thank you very much for your time. And when we will present our quarter, one interim report for 2025 and I will do this together with Petter Sylvan, that is the CFO and I will give you a short update about the business development in the first quarter and also some comments on the quality development in the company.

And the first quarter in AcadeMedia is a small quarter when it comes to the revenue and the profit, but it's an important quarter for AcadeMedia as a company. And we think that we have started this year very stable with a growth of 12% where 6% is organic and the international development is still strong in the company and we are now reaching for 100 units in Germany.

We are at 98 for the moment and we see a strong development when it comes to our international business and the government in Sweden, they really invest now in vocational training. I think it will be more than 100,000 students. The budget for this year is very important that to go ahead with the supply of skills
