Christian Kullmann
CEO & Chairman of the Executive Board
Thanks a lot, and welcome to our Q3 earnings call. Looking around in our boardroom, I see a very different setup here today. First of all, welcome to First of all, welcome to Claus Rettig, our interim CFO, who is sitting left to me. Many of you already know him. In his previous roles, he represented Evonik at many investor conferences and Capital Markets Day. His extensive experience and knowledge of our company is helping us in this new role while the search for our CFO is ongoing.
I would like to take the opportunity here today to thank Maike Schuh for many years in different roles at Evonik. She has left the company at her own request in September. And while this was very sudden, we have to accept that. I would like to thank her for her efforts and the positive impact she had on our organization.
Second, after 49 — worthwhile to repeat, after 49 reported quarters as a public
