Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome to our earnings call on the Third Quarter 2020.
Overall, the financials of the third quarter came in quite well with no surprises.
Most important in the current crisis, we support our customers, our capital ratio remains strong, and the business with our customers shows a stable development.
Before I walk you through the financials, I'd like to highlight some of our business achievements of the last months, demonstrating that we are clearly making progress in the transformation of Commerzbank.
