Greetings to you all and welcome to the presentation of our Q2 results. I'm Ann-Sofie | Head of Investor Relations and as per usual I have our CEO - Björn Rosengren and CFO Timo Ihamuotila with me here today. They will take you through the presentation after which we open up for a Q&A session. |
However | before we begin - I would like to draw your attention to the information regarding Safe Harbor notices and our use of non-GAAP measures on slide two of the presentation. This conference call will include forward looking statements and these statements are based on the company's current expectations - uncertain assumptions and are therefore subject to risks and uncertainties. And with that said - we will now kick off today's session and we will do so with a short video related to the RA's recent small acquisition of ASTI. |

And with that | I will now pass you over to Björn and Timo to take you through the results. |
Thank you Ann-Sofie and warm welcome from me as well.
First, as you saw in the opening video, we have a new member of the ABB Robotics family. ASTI is a leader in autonomous mobile robots or as we call them, AMRs. This acquisition is a great example of our new division led M&A process.
So let's take a look at the Q2.
