Alfred FelderPresident of the Management Board & CEO Thank you, Eric. Good morning, and welcome, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for joining us today for our Q3 call. The third quarter was once again a challenging period for our business as market condition and the broader economic environment remained difficult, impacted by the geopolitical tensions and particularly now since last week also the latest developments in the Middle East. However, in Europe, we begin to see signs of demand in new construction, but the recovery remains rather modest. The market climate continues to be shaped by the global uncertainty. And therefore, still, we are having, as we discussed also last time, longer decision-making cycles and reduced investment appetite.
