So we have prepared a short presentation considering it’s just a third quarter update and the full update that we provide in the full year and half year results.

So basically, we’ll cover the presentation together with Catherine and Olivier. [Operator Instructions] So you’ll see our usual disclaimer — on this slide, today’s speakers, so Catherine Vandenborre, Chief Financial Officer of IBA. Olivier Legrain, our Co-CEO in charge of IBA Technologies, he is also joining us and happy to take questions and myself, Tom Pevenage, taking care of Investor Relations.

So we’ll start with the highlights — key highlights on the business side. And then that’s a specific topic for this trading update, we’ll cover the corporate refinancing that you could discover as part of our press release earlier today. So I will now leave the floor to Catherine for the first section.
