Welcome back, Andre & tony!

[Virtual Presenter] Good morning everyone. We are here today to discuss how our company can help improve biodegradability and composability, with a focus on enhancing financial performance over the last five years. Our opening presentation will highlight the achievements of our organization and the potential for further growth. Let's begin by taking a look at a rocket flying over our beautiful earth!.

[Audio] A rocket is pictured soaring above the earth, its majestic silhouette set against the backdrop of a sapphire sky. It is an awe-inspiring sight that illustrates the tremendous advances in technology that humans have achieved. Beyond this, the image of the rocket is an inspiring symbol of the potential that we have to overcome obstacles and achieve our goals with the right tools..

[Audio] An impressive visual of a rocket flying through the sky symbolizes the progress we have made towards our targets. The charts show we have achieved a considerable increase in revenue - from £40.5 million to £60 million - and gross profit increased by 14% year on year. This suggests we are well on track to reaching our goal of 10% revenue growth, and 19% CAGR in our gross profit margin..

[Audio] Our analysis shows that the headcount has decreased by 18 compared to last month, but is 11 higher than last year. Volume is flat compared to last month, but is 7% lower than last year. Price is up 17.7% compared to last month and 22.2% compared to last year. Revenue, compared to the previous year, is up 18% and compared to the previous month is up 19.2%, while gross profit is up 20.9% over the previous year. The slide focuses on the performance of India for this month, in comparison to the previous month and the previous year. These figures demonstrate a promising growth in India..

[Audio] The slide shows that Activity Volume has increased over the last year. Transaction Volume went from 26,316 to 39,638, with an increase in the price per Activity Unit. Gross Profit is also up, with a Margin of 46% on Internal Revenue. This data demonstrates the success of the business model and its growth potential..

[Audio] Our exploration of the business efficiency indicates that the headcount as of October 23rd is 1,351, which is 32 higher than last year but 26 lower than the planned count for the year. The cumulative headcount for the quarter is 1,364, which is 57 below the budgeted headcount. Compared to the same period the previous year, we have seen a decrease of 3% in volumes, however the price per unit has increased by 18%, making up for the drop in volume. Internal revenue has grown by 15% year-on-year, a £2.1m increase from budget and a boost of £768k compared to the same time last year. Our rev/HC and GP/HC metrics have also grown by 14.4% and 14.5% respectively, indicating better revenue performance and cost management, due to improved operational efficiency. To ensure sustainability and remain competitive, we need to drive more efficiency through procurement and target every cost line, while also innovating across all businesses..

The Group has a strong presence in Agri, HL, BA and SL and can use its unique In-waken culture and the success of Protek and TSA to bring added value. Furthermore, India's Green Development Pact for a Sustainable Future provides new opportunities for growth. The Group must also invest in new technologies, such as cyber security, pharma and medical device certification, and smart city certifications, to be successful..

[Audio] To reach our AAA strategic priorities, we must understand customer needs and take action to surpass their expectations. Our focus must be on technical excellence, zero-defect quality, and fast turnaround times for our products and services. Our ATIC data advantage will give us a competitive edge in the market to enable 10Xcellence. To do so, we must use science-based Total Quality Assurance, customer excellence, and a mix of push and pull marketing strategies. We will aim to create a memorable brand icon, an innovative product, and a captivating web experience. Our approach will be zero to one, exploiting the first mover advantage to unlock 10X global MAI. We will strive for shorter turnaround times, zero defects, and use NPS outcome to maximize the ATIC spectrum. Additionally, we will prioritize iCare, Inlight, Inview, and 24/7 customer service, and leverage the YBA campaign through local partnerships. By doing so, we can unlock potential ATIC opportunities across all business lines..

[Audio] As we continue our journey towards a 10X purpose-based engagement, let's analyse the AAA enablers that will assist us in accomplishing our objectives. Talent acquisition and personal growth prospects, leadership across all units and an enhanced rewards and recognition system are key areas of concentration. Our sustainability plan consists of net zero DBTRW, health, safety and wellbeing, and sustainable operational excellence that advantages all stakeholders. We have a strategic portfolio targeting a #1/#2 ranking across the world and in each country, together with BL and country-specific investments. To make a 10X in-wakened culture, we are devoted to raising the diversity rate to 18%, investing in biodegradability testing, and intensifying our volunteers and CSR programs to amplify our effect on the localities. Let's maintain the momentum and strive towards net zero!.

[Audio] We may gaze up at the night sky and behold the majestic silhouette of a rocket flying through the stars. This daring vessel is a reminder of humanity's relentless attempt to explore the unknown expanses of space.
