Good morning. Fredrik and I would like to welcome you to the full year 2023 earnings call and share some comments and reflections on the quarter and on the year. Let me, as always, do a couple of introductory comments on the year.

The full year 2023 was kind of a tick in the box type of year. The invoicing grew 22% to SEK 64 billion, reflecting a solid order book and stable supply chains, finally. Cash flow finally returned to normal conversion rates and reached SEK 9 billion or 3x that of last year. The Marine division started a strong margin recovery in the second half of 2023 as earlier guided, and reached an 18% margin in the quarter, well in line with expectations. And finally, earlier acquisitions performed well and ahead of plans with a strong development for both Desmet and StormGeo as the prime examples. So a good year overall.

In Q4, specifically, demand remained sequentially stable in line with guidance and reach an invoicing record level. Looking into 2024, we have a solid order book of SEK 45 billion, SEK 8 billion
