Okay. Good. Good afternoon, and welcome to the conference call of Krones. Krones significantly improves revenue and profitability in the first three quarters '24. This was the headline of the press release we published today morning. Now we would like to present you all the figures and give further details about this first nine months of the year '24.

After the presentation by Christoph Klenk and Uta Anders, we will have the opportunity to ask questions. I think you also know how the Q&A session works. [Operator Instructions] Additionally, please be reminded that this meeting will not be recorded and that is also not allowed to record the meeting. Please also deactivate any functions of recording at Teams.

So I would say, let's start with the presentation. So I hand over to Christoph Klenk. Christoph, the floor is yours.

Christoph Klenk

Olaf, thanks a lot. Yeah. A warm welcome today. Good morning and good afternoon to the audience. Uta and myself are happy to have you here today and are happy to present the Q3 numbers of Krones. As always, we jump immediately into the presentation because the summary you anyway have seen already and we go in any detail by the next slides to come.

Here are the major numbers of Q3. And here, we jump into the order intake. And first of all, we are quite happy where we are. The EUR1.3 billion order intake in Q3 was in line
