Good morning from Hannover. This is the Talanx results call for the first six months of 2024, and I'm here together with Jan Wicke, our CFO, who will take you through the results and answer all the questions you may have in relation to those.
For the first time, we are doing this in a video format, as it all will be nicer if we could see each other while talking through numbers. Obviously, there's a choice to display your image or not. It's entirely up to you. And for the Q&A session, we also have the chat features activated. (Event Instructions)
After this experiment with the virtual session, we will collect feedback and see as to whether we continue or how to adapt or as to whether we switch back to the traditional phone call format. That, we will see. Should we encounter any technical issues during the session, we will somehow manage. I'm pretty confident as we are all used to go via virtual format these days.
