Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Growth strategy yielded a record result. 2019 was a great year for Kesko and the K Group. As I said, it's an all-time record year in terms of sales and our result. And we can also say that our financial position and cash flow were strengthened, and we're at a very good level. We saw some excellent performance in the grocery trade, and this trend has continued for a longer period of time, several years already, and it was also great to see for 2019 that we were once again ranked among the most sustainable trade groups, the most sustainable grocery trade company. Strong growth continued in the building and technical trade, positive development in sales and profit. And despite challenges in the market and availability, some strong profit generation continued in the car trade.
