Hello, everyone, and thank you for being with us today. The call will last about 30 minutes. With us are Jean Mouton, Chairman of the Board of Nexans; and Christopher Guerin, who will share some remarks following this morning’s announcement. After their statements, they will share a few of — they will take a few of your questions. Mr. Mouton, over to you.
Jean Mouton
Thank you. Good morning. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and thank you for joining us. As you saw in our announcement this morning, the Board of Directors has appointed Julien Hueber as Chief Executive Officer, succeeding Christopher Guerin with immediate effect.
Christopher will remain fully engaged until October 31 to ensure a smooth and orderly handover. Over the past 7 years, under his leadership, Nexans has undergone a remarkable transformation, becoming a leader in sustainable electrification with solid financial performance, strong balance sheet and a renewed sense of purpose across the organization. I just want to repeat, this company is in excellent shape.
Let me be very clear. This decision has nothing to do with the company’s operation, its business performance, its ongoing projects, or any issue of conduct or behavior. Nexans continues to perform in line with its road map.
