Here are today’s three key takeaways. The first is the Q1 results. We were able to make solid progress, in line with plan. Similar to last year, we were able to get off to a very good start to the fiscal year. In particular, the strong performances of IAB and HCB were the major drivers of overall growth. We also executed on investments for future growth. The second is our full-year forecasts. While there is rising uncertainty on the back of US-China trade friction, we maintain our full-year forecasts for now. Despite the uncertainty, we believe major supportive underlying trends, such as labor shortages, remain unchanged. As such, we are firmly committed to executing on the action plan set out at the beginning of the fiscal year, in order to support the future growth of our business. We have also added a new share buyback program this time. Shareholder returns and capital efficiency will continue to be a key focus for management. The third is our focus on sustainable corporate value creation. I will discuss in more detail how I, in my role as CFO, think about further enhancing the growth cycle and restructuring, as well as the allocation of cash. Let us get started. Please turn to slide 4.
