A very warm welcome to ThyssenKrupp's fiscal year ####/#### analysts' and investors'  conference today here at Villa Hugel in Essen. I would also like to welcome Internet and telephone listeners who are following the A/V online transmission of today's meeting. My name is Claus Ehrenbeck. This morning we published our results.

Before I walk you through the agenda of today's meeting, let me make a few housekeeping remarks, please. Since we do have an A/V stream and an open phone line, I would like to kindly ask you here in the room not to use your mobile phones and BlackBerrys. And for the Q&amp;A session, please use the microphones in front of you. Those of you who are following the online transmission can send us questions to the following email...

The ratings also reflect TK's healthy cash flow generation and a track record of debt reduction. The ratings remain constrained, however, by the cyclical, competitive, and capital-intensive steel, automotive, and capital goods industries. The group also has high pension liabilities and relatively low margins in some segments, although profitability is improving overall. TK continues to experience healthy operating performance across its businesses, in part due to healthy average steel prices. In the nine months to June 30, 2007, TK reported EBITDA of about €4.7 billion, up 35% (before nonrecurring items, primarily a €480 million
