Hey, everyone, and welcome to Macquarie's first half 2025 results presentation. Before we start, if I could just ask everyone to turn their mobile phones either onto silent or turn them off, that would be greatly appreciated. I would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land, the Gadigal people of the Eora nation and acknowledge and pay our respects to their elders, past, present, and emerging.
This morning as is customary, you'll hear from our CEO, Shemara Wikramanayake, and our CFO, Alex Harvey, and we also have our operating group and support group heads here in the room and also on the line.
At the conclusion of the briefing, there will obviously be ample time for Q&A.
With that, I will hand over to Shamara. Thank you.
Thanks very much, Sam. Good morning and welcome, everyone, from me
