Thank you very much. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm very happy to welcome you to our call on the financial results of our first quarter, 2023. The press release and the following presentation have been published today at 7:00 A.M. CET on our IR website in the Reports and Presentation section. As announced, we will provide a like-for-like comparison for the new structure latest by the end of May. For sure, we will also provide a recording of this webcast afterwards. Before we have a look on today's agenda, I have to draw your attention once again to the, by now, hopefully well-known disclaimer. Our CEO, Andreas Wolf, and our CFO, Werner Volz, have joined the meeting today to guide you through our presentation of the financial results of the last quarter. As always, they will report on the most important developments at group and business unit level. I'm sorry, division level, I have to say, in the new structure in the last quarter, including our current order intake level, as well as our cash flow and balance sheet. For sure, they will also touch on an outlook for Q2 and the full year. As always, both gentlemen will be available for a Q&A session after the presentation. Now, without further ado, let me hand over to our CEO, Andreas, please. Thank you, Heiko, and thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen, for joining today. As said, the first quarter is in the books again. Under this very challenging environment, we were able to navigate our way through, I think, quite well. Our strong focus in quarter one was especially on two topics. Firstly, negotiating higher prices with our customers because of continuously increasing input costs. Here, we are on a good way and are making strong progress. Secondly, further accelerating our growth in Electrification in terms of order intakes. To this day, we have achieved an order intake of over EUR 4 billion in Electrification alone. Step by step, with EUR 2.3 billion sales in quarter one, adjusted EBIT margin of 1.6%, we demonstrated again our solid top and bottom line development. Even though our first quarter was negative in terms of cash flow, it was in line with our expectations. Our transformation to electrification continues. Let me give you a few examples. With more than EUR 300 million of total electrification sales, the first quarter, the share of electrification continues to increase steadily. We will see an even higher dynamic growth throughout the year since many projects are currently ramping up. Once more, our order intake proved our very attractive portfolio. Quarter one may have presented a rather slow start into the year. Here, we could win EUR 1.4 billion new orders in total. Thereof awards worth roughly EUR 800 million in electrification. As you know, major business awards don't follow our reporting dates. It is in the nature of our order intakes that those do not come in on a steady basis, already mentioned a couple of times. With a little delay, I can confirm significant order wins. As we speak, and already mentioned before, we have in our order books electrification awards worth over EUR 4 billion, leading to an order backlog of more than EUR 30 billion for the electrification business. This also means that we have fully backed our midterm electrification sales target of EUR 5 billion. I can tell you, quarter two is not over yet. It is very important to mention our current order intake for 2023 is profitable and will contribute to our mid and long-term profitability targets. Again, on an annual basis, I can reconfirm that we will see a similar order intake volume for electrification as last year. Our order backlog proves us that we have a compelling product portfolio, and with our strategic realignment, we made the next logical step for the full transformation of our company. As already discussed in our capital market day in October last year, we have adjusted our organizational setup. In Powertrain Solutions, Klaus Hau will focus on the sustainable value and cash generation of our existing core ICE technologies. In addition, he is responsible to manage the phase out of both contract manufacturing as well as our non-core ICE technologies like pumps, injectors, and turbochargers. Thomas Stierle, heading Electrification Solutions, is responsible to execute our electrification strategy. He will grow our electrification business, focus on project execution, and turn it profitable. At the same time, he will step-by-step transform our core ICE electronics business into an electrified future. We also incorporated a clearer structure with a focus management team, and we will ensure continuous reporting transparency as already set. Through this realignment, Vitesco Technologies is further sharpening its strategic focus on electrification technologies. Let us now dive a little bit deeper into the financial KPIs. The EUR 2.3 billion sales, which I mentioned earlier, correspond to a steady increase of 2.5% compared to the first quarter of 2022. This development is in line with our expectation, taking into account the planned ramp down of non-core business, which also includes our contract manufacturing activities. Despite higher input costs and not finalized negotiations of cost coverages, we managed to achieve an adjusted EBIT margin of 1.6%. As we are executing our huge order backlog, CapEx increased to EUR 98 million, or 4.2% of sales. When compared to previous years, we see now our CapEx ratio trending to the anticipated 5%-6% levels. Our free cash flow was burdened by continued increase in working capital, which resulted in a negative value of around minus EUR 41 million. Here, increased inventories are the main factor. Despite ongoing challenges, the worldwide vehicle production picked up slightly during the first quarter in 2023. Europe saw by far the strongest recovery in the first quarter, followed by North America. Improved availability of semiconductors was a key enabler. China, on the other hand, was the weakest market in a very challenging environment, especially due to lower production volumes as we saw in advanced consumption already in quarter 4 of 2022. This was based on tax incentives and subsidies. As we can see, in the bar chart, in Q1 of 2023, our reported group level sales increased by 2.5%, which looks rather weak at the first glance if you compare it with the global light vehicle production. Please keep in mind that the phasing out of our contract manufacturing and non-core ICE technologies business is included in this figure. Organically, our electrification and core ICE sales outgrew global light vehicle production by 1.7 percentage points. In total, I can say with full confidence that we steered our ship pretty solid in a rough environment. As always, you will now receive more insights into the financial development by our CFO, Werner Volz. Werner, please. Yes. Thank you, Andreas. Hello, welcome also from my side, ladies and gentlemen. Let us now take a closer look at our top and bottom line development at group level. Due to the phasing out of our non-core businesses, including contract manufacturing, our organic sales growth was at 1.4%. That excludes currency-related tailwinds of 1.4 percentage points as well as further consolidation effects. As Andreas already mentioned, we managed to maintain our profitability at 1.6%, despite many challenges in the first quarter. I need to mention here that we still are in the process of concluding our negotiations regarding the cost transfer of higher input costs. Once those are finalized, we will see a positive effect on both top and bottom line figures. I do expect that we will have agreements by the end of this quarter, at least for the majority of our customers, so that we should have a sustainable pricing mark-up by quarter three. To sum up, this result is quite solid considering all the headwinds we had to face during this first quarter. To further ensure transparency, flexibility, and efficiency, we streamlined our organization in two divisions. We know with that, you unfortunately have to adapt your financial models to our new structure and figures. To make your lives easier, though, we will provide a fact sheet with restated figures for fiscal year 2022 on our homepage, well, within the next few weeks, latest until end of May. Let's zoom closer into our newly formed division, Powertrain Solutions. The main reason for an organic sales decline was the planned ramp down of our non-core activities, which also contains contract manufacturing sales of around EUR 245 million, down more than 10% year-over-year. We will see a further acceleration of this decline in the rest of the year. We saw slightly lower sales for division Powertrain Solutions now with Q1 sales of around EUR 1.6 billion. Due to positive one-time effects from claim negotiations and inventory revaluation, which at least partially compensated for the higher input costs, we still managed to increase our profitability. Our continuous cost containment efforts also contributed positively. This resulted in adjusted EBIT margin of 7.3% for the first quarter. Our core ICE business continued to achieve double-digit adjusted EBIT margins. Let us shift over to our second division, Electrification Solutions. Despite several headwinds already mentioned, we did achieve a strong top-line development, which was especially driven by our performance in the Asian and German markets. This equates to an outperformance of 7 percentage points comparing to global light vehicle production. When we move over to the profitability side, we were at a similar level as in the prior year. Due to burdening higher input costs, also here again, and ramp-up costs for our most recent order wins, the adjusted EBIT margin came in at minus 10%. Before we close this financial reporting section of top-line and bottom line development, I want to provide more transparency on the categories Electrification, core ICE, and non-core. Moving on to the next slide, I would like to split up the three mentioned categories. As you can see, we further increased sales and Electrification due to improved availability of production materials. Thanks to the ongoing ramp-ups, we will see an acceleration further throughout the year. I would also like to mention the improved EBIT margin of almost two percentage points, even though we had to bear higher costs due to new order intakes. Overall, we are well on track to achieve our targeted midterm profitability goals, which means break even in 2024. To underline our point, I would like to highlight the steady improvement of our gross margin to more than 6% in the first quarter. We foresee gradual step-ups here until the end of the year. Core ICE, excluding electrification, improved sales to EUR 1.3 billion. As said, our core businesses slightly outgrew the global light vehicle production. We saw a decline in adjusted EBIT margin as we experienced, especially in this area, higher input costs. As mentioned before, negotiations with our customers are not finalized yet. As you can see on the last part of this slide, our non-core business is ramping down as planned. This includes our contract manufacturing business. You may have noticed the slightly improved EBIT margin here, but I would like to emphasize at that stage that this figure is including a positive one-time effect due to favorable settled claim cases with customers. Excluding these, our adjusted EBIT is more or less a blank zero. I want to make my message on this slide very clear. First, we will focus on further growth in the electrification area. Second, we will keep or even improve our sales and profitability level in core ICE. Third, the ramp down of non-core will be progressing according to plan, especially contract manufacturing. We will see significant decreases in the next two years. Now let me give you some more insights into our cash development. As you can see, we experienced a lower operating cash flow. To a large extent, this was driven by lower profitability and higher net working capital intensity. Here we saw a continued build-up in our inventories. Yes, this is still a necessary measure short term to ensure production for our customers. Of course, we are not aiming to remain at these inventory levels in the long term. Our investments nearly doubled compared to Q1 of the previous year, resulting in an investing cash flow of minus EUR 118 million. As stated on the slide, this is mainly due to higher capital expenditures in context to recent order wins. Here we are trending towards our anticipated range of 5%- 6%. Both negative effects burdened our free cash flow, which came in at minus EUR 41 million for the first quarter. This was in line with our internal planning as we are spending capital that is necessary to support the ramp up in our electrification business. We are thus confident to reach our guided EUR 50 million for fiscal year 2023. Talking about our financing cash flow, it came in slightly negative, resulting in minus EUR 10 million. Comparing with our previous year's figures, please consider that last year's first quarter financing cash flow included the EUR 200 million through Termindarlehen. I want to highlight that we continue to remain a very healthy balance sheet and of course, we did not take on further debt. Let us take a quick look at the balance sheet structure. Our net working capital ratio slightly increased to 5.6% in Q1 of 2023, mainly driven by the increase in inventories. The net working capital intensity is beginning to trend towards our anticipated midterm range of 5%-6% of sales. The net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio decreased slightly from -0.5 to -0.4. Our net liquidity position of EUR 277 million underlines our still very comfortable liquidity situation. Considering undrawn credit lines, our available liquidity at the end of March 2023 was at EUR 1.5 billion. The increase in our equity was mainly related to higher OCI from pension revaluation. This also contributed to an increase in our equity ratio of about 39% at the end of Q1. As you can see, we continue to have a very solid balance sheet structure and cash position despite the mentioned challenges which we experienced during the start of the year. Now I want to touch on our last slide of this presentation before I then hand back to Heiko for the Q&A session. Last slide, of course, that is the outlook. Our business is still very much burdened by higher cross input costs, such as material and freight, as we explained. As mentioned, for these costs, we are in the final negotiation stages regarding the cost transfers. Our aim is to have an agreement for the majority by the end of Q2 with all our customers. These mentioned challenges have given us a strong headwind, in particular in the first quarter of 2023. However, we are very confident to reach our guidance issued with our fiscal year 2022 results. Therefore, we confirm the guidance for following figures. Our outlook foresees sales of EUR 9.2 billion-EUR 9.7 billion. This not only includes price increases due to higher input costs, but also counter impacts due to the planned phase out of non-core ICE technologies and contract manufacturing. The adjusted EBIT margin will presumably amount to 2.9%-3.4%, thus demonstrating that we're progressing with our transformation also in a continuous challenging environment. Despite the margin dilutive effects we have mentioned before. We expect our CapEx ratio to be between 5%-6% for the entire fiscal year, fully focused on our core technologies and electrification. Lastly, we see our free cash flow target of around EUR 50 million for the full year. Again, I want to underline the upcoming challenges we have mentioned earlier, but also, again, we are well prepared to tackle those also during 2023, as we did that in 2022. With that, I have reached the end of my part of the presentation. Andreas and I are now ready for your questions. First, back to you, Heiko. Thank you very much, Andreas. Thank you very much, Werner. Ladies and gentlemen, as announced, we will now enter the Q&A part of today's session. As always, I would like to remind you that we of course, want to offer all participants the opportunity to ask questions. Therefore, we kindly ask you to limit yourself to two questions. For sure, if time allows, you can ask additional questions by going back into the queue. Operator, we are now ready to take the first question. The first question comes from Sanjay Bhagwani, Citi. Hello. Thank you very much for taking my question. Gentlemen, first of all, congratulations on yet another sustained order intake. I'll chop my questions in two buckets. The first one is on electrification. Of this EUR 4 billion order intake, can you please provide some color on what the quality of this is like? It is from one big or two big customers? On the same, I think you said that the Q2 is not over yet in terms of the orders. Can you maybe provide some more color on what exactly did you mean by that? Yeah, the margin improvement on electrification looks strong. I think the gross margin you mentioned is greater than 6%. Can you maybe provide some color on what is driving this improvement? Then I'll just follow up with the next one. First of all, thanks for the question, Sanjay. Talking about the order intake and electrification and the outlook for Q2. First of all, the EUR 4 billion is I would rate it a strong start into the year. The majority of those contracts or new orders is again, high voltage. Due to the fact that those wins, larger parts of those wins is very recent, we cannot yet share what type of orders we have won and which customers are behind. We are just in clarification with the customers. As soon as we have as a clearance, we will also issue a press release, and I can promise you that you will be the first getting the information from our Investor Relations department. That's I simply have to respect that we have some, how can I say, working relationships with our customers when to do what, including publishing the names and the type of products. I hope that you can understand that. I want to give you a flavor of quarter two, because I explicitly also said when I started my presentation with those two big points, where are we with negotiating higher prices and order intake. I am optimistic. I can even say I'm very optimistic that still in quarter two we will have significant further order intake. This is linked to obviously the pipeline I see in front of me, and the fact that I'm in many cases directly involved in the acquisition of those projects. Don't take me wrong, I'm a very humble and shy man, but I would say order intake is not a problem for '23. I already said that I think during the beginning. That's not our problem or that's not something where we have to scratch our heads. I assume that already Q2 will show that we are in the middle of the game and progressing as planned, meaning achieving the same numbers, same range of order intake like in 2022. Yeah. For the gross margin, I think Werner Volz said it, we are already improving and we see further improvements. Maybe you wanna elaborate on that on the electrification side. Yes, and we're enjoying of course this improvement and we're happy that this is in line with what we promised and what we also expected from ourselves. What is behind it? Well, it's less operational problems or improvement of operational excellence. Let me just call me that. That's one side. On the other side, it's scale effects. Third, it's more profitable business ramping up right now. I think these are the major three criterias. Thank you. That is very helpful. My second question is on the margin improvement bucket. First thing on the Q2 margins, if I understood it correctly, you will be the pricing negotiations, those will be accelerating. Do you think you can hit the margin corridor, like full year guidance margin corridor in Q2? Then on the approvals. What I'm trying to get my head around is when you actually provided your full year guidance of 2.9%-3.4% margin guidance, did you already have the approval tailwind in your mind or we can expect or not? Then let's say if you did not have budgeted for that, then probably you end up exceeding the full year guidance, no? Yeah, if you can provide some more color on that. First of all, maybe I can start, the margin. Oh, no, I will explain the mechanics of our negotiation. Because also here in the majority of cases, I'm also directly personally involved, which gives me a very good overview where we are. Again, I can only tell you we are extremely confident that what we plan for '23 as price increases will also materialize. Just to underline that again. The mechanics is the following: You have to negotiate, you have to conclude, you have a result, and then it is translated into agreements, but later on into price adjustments. We are talking about price adjustments, not one-time payments. Those price adjustments have to be executed, have to be done in the systems, in the customer systems. We talk here about sometimes, 10, 20, 30 legal entities and hundreds for some customers, even thousands of line items where the prices have to be keyed into their system. Therefore, we have always this time lag between having already concluded the negotiations compared to what do we see then in the quarterly numbers. My expectation is with what I see today, when can we conclude what we said that the majority will be basically over end of the quarter. Quarter 2 should be in the range of the targeted margin of the full year, maybe a little bit to the lower end. Let's see how we progress. With that mechanics I just described, but we should be moving up having that, those contracts negotiated but not yet displayed, but then in Q2, starting Q2, being in somehow in that range. That is the picture I currently have. Hopefully, Sanjay, that answers your question. Yes, that's very helpful. On the accrual side, what I'm trying to understand is, like, your guidance of 2.9%-3.4% margins, did this already have this revision of provisional of these accruals? This is something you just realized now? What I'm alluding to is, like, if you got this tailwind, which you hadn't hoped for and which is non-recurring in nature, how should I think of this full year guidance number? Did you already have this in your budgeting or this just came now? Well, now we're in May, Sanjay, I appreciate your question. Of course we obviously are striving for improving our profitability. Right now, impacting the first quarter, add that into our profit earlier. I'm sorry your voice was breaking. I didn't hear you, the last line. Yes, this was an extraordinary effect for the first quarter, but we're in May now, and we guided adjusted EBIT margin range of 2.9%-3.4%. Yes, we're thriving, of course, wherever we can to improve profitability, but to increase our guidance due to this one-time or extraordinary effect in the first quarter, that would be too early. Right now we stick and stay with guidance, 2.9%- 3.4%. Thank you. That's helpful. The next question comes from Michael Jacks, Bank of America. Good morning, Andreas, Werner, Heiko. Thanks for taking my questions. I have two. On the EV powertrain market in general and recent RFQ activity, could you perhaps comment on the component mix coming to market? Is it still heavily weighted towards power electronics? Perhaps what are the trends you're observing there? Have you noticed any changes in competitors' behavior around pricing or changes in the composition of the peers that you're coming up against? My second question is just on pricing and availability of electronic components. Just curious if price increases materialized in line with your earlier expectations and whether or not perhaps you're seeing some evidence of a more competitive environment or prices softening. Thank you. Yeah. First of all, no big change when I look to the order intakes or the current EV market. No change means for me, the majority goes to high voltage applications. We still see also no big change when you would elaborate or think about insourcing also. We still see the full span of products from components to fully complete electric axles. No major change, also not from the competition side. I mean, we elaborated on that in the other round, I don't see a major change. I always repeat that. When talking about this market, it is a very conservative market. There is a couple of big players in, and that's not really changing. Therefore, it stays intact or it stays in with boundary conditions we already discussed in the past and which I don't see that they will change in the next couple of months. Pricing or availability of components and related pricing. Availability of components is getting better and better. That's the good news. I would assume you also referenced to semiconductors. The second half of the year will improve in some cases even significantly improve. The signals I'm getting out of the market is that starting 2024, maybe it's even over. That when we have that in writing, it's not just interpreting messages. We have that in writing that the major component suppliers are telling us that they should cover our demands latest beginning of 2024, so in 6, 7 months, but already indicating that should be the case starting in Q3. That is a big relief that will help us also to better manage our business. As explained, the inventory is going up because we have stop and go traffic so to say. That will all be easier to be managed afterwards. The pricing part of it's clear that if you can cover and there's no competition any longer to get the one and the last component for whatever price, I would expect that price increases or the price mechanism situation will normalize again. Also to answer that question, yes, we see that already now, and that's in the ballpark of what we anticipated for 2023. The, how can I say? The big pain is behind us and the big increase also in material cost, I would, from today's perspective, see as not being behind us, but the climax is at least behind us. Understood. Thank you. The next question comes from Christoph Laskawi, Deutsche Bank. Good morning, and thank you for taking my questions. The first one being on the electrification ramp in the coming quarters. You already pinpointed to that accelerating obviously in line with your targets in the months ahead. Should we expect an uptick already with Q2, or is this very back-end loaded? If you could comment on that and around the key drivers there. Then just on the inventory side, as you build quite a lot in Q1, is this more or less a timing thing as well? Should we expect that to go down with Q2, or is it more problem that you will have to work down throughout the entire year and the improvement is also more back-end weighted? Thank you. Maybe I start with the electrification sales picking up or accelerating throughout the year. Yes, we should see already higher numbers in quarter two, because if you I mean, if you just do the mathematical exercise of 300 times 4, we would land at 1.2, and that's not what we forecasted so far. Yes, we will see already in quarter two, an acceleration and then further on. Now, that's we see that in the call also, that's given. I'm not so optimistic looking to the inventory side. Yes, we have special task forces and teams working on it. Due to the fact that when you change, your sourcing, parameters in the system, it always takes a while until it takes place. Now in line with what I said before, that overall the number of turbulences is going down. We should be able to better manage inventories this year. They will come down. I would be a little bit hesitant whether we see already significant step downs in quarter two. I would be more optimistic to say quarter three onwards, we will see those effects. Thank you. A follow-up on the electrification growth. Is there any cost related to that accelerating, which means the margin could be at risk to slightly weaken, or should we just expect the positive leverage to improve margins in that field, as well? I mean, you heard already that in the electrification we are in quarter one on a single-digit, you know, gross margin level. With what we see today, we should increase this gross margin maybe to a low double-digit level. That is showing that in the next quarters it is the acceleration of sales, because capacities, et cetera, are all installed, is not linked with higher burden, but should lead to an improvement of the situation. Sounds good. Thank you. The next question comes from Giulio Pescatore, BNP. Hi. Thanks for taking my question as well. The first one on the one-offs, I mean, it does sound like there were a few one-offs in the quarter. Can you just maybe help us isolate them? I think you mentioned one off payment linked to claims and then some inventories evaluations, reversal of accruals. Just trying to understand the magnitude of these one-offs in the first quarter. The second one on the outperformance, can you maybe help us understand how much of a regional mix tailwind did you have in the quarter and how much pricing benefited top line in the quarter? I mean, to be fair, I was a bit disappointed with the level of outperformance you showed. Not because you're not growing well on the electrification side, but because, you know, regional mix should have been a big tailwind for you in Q1. If you can help us on that. Thank you. Yeah, I'll try to give you an answer, even though, well, I cannot specify the detailed amounts. Well, these are one-offs with regards to also the normal course of our business. Well, you have to understand that, for instance, if customer demands are fluctuating, we typically would go after the customers and would try to negotiate volume claims. That is one of the things that is quite normal to our business, and this is going to happen also in the future. This happened in the past, so that was one issue that we settled. On the other side, we were able to, well, to settle a warranty claim. That is normal course of the business, but it happens as one-timers. Obviously, it's not gradually allocated throughout the fiscal year. This is basically what we saw in the first quarter, and we were able to positively negotiate these situations and complete that. It is in the, well, in the lower double digits size and magnitude. Thank you. Is that all? Yeah. Yeah. It, it does sound like the Adjusted EBITDA group level would have been close to breakeven if we adjust for this one-off effect. Is that fair? Sorry, I couldn't. Yeah. That is true, yeah. It's part of EBIT one-offs, because on the other hand, they burden you when you accrue for it. yes, that's true. Thanks. Outperformance regional. Outperformance, regional, the last quarter, of course, the Asian market, specifically Korea, was a strong market for us. Also on the German side, the German market outperformed and that of course helped our first quarter. Pricing benefits from the cost transfers. Yes, we included or fortunately, we already could transfer some of the current costs to our customers. It is yet obviously below what we have suffered as input costs and increased input costs. It is less than two-thirds that we probably were able to recover as price increases in the first quarter. Okay. That's very helpful actually. Thank you. Can I just maybe try to squeeze in a last one? We saw carmakers increasing their inventories quite significantly in Q1, I think pretty much across the board. I think this effect spooked the market to a certain extent because, you know, I think we're wondering about the outlook for production in Q2. What's your take on this? Is this because they're preparing for higher sales? I mean, what's causing this effect? Thank you. That would be a question more to the OEMs than to us. What we can see is that from a call-off side, it should be okay. Don't forget that the pipelines, the supply chains are still completely empty. Even assuming it would happen, even the OEM sales, the car sales would slow down, we would continue to basically backfill or refill the supply chains. Therefore, I don't see an imminent impact. As said, I cannot really. We see for our products a strong pull. I cannot really comment on why are there higher stocks on the OEM side. Probably getting back to normal. Getting back to normal because that's a good hint because if you look to the typical KPIs being in the U.S. or on the Asian side, what is the stock on hand? How many days on hand do they have as the dealers, as produced cars available? Especially in the U.S., they had nothing. I mean, the reason is clear, they need to backfill and have that typical range like in the U.S., I don't know, 60 days upwards and not below 30 or 20, what they suffered basically the last years. For me it is a correction, a normalizing effect of the industry. Yeah, definitely. It's, it's good to hear from you that, you don't, you don't think that that's gonna have any implication on call-offs. Thank you very much. Yeah. You're welcome. Ladies and gentlemen, as a quick reminder, if you would like to ask questions still at this point, please press 9 followed by the star key on your telephone keypad. The next question comes from José Asumendi, JP Morgan. Thank you very much. It's José. Yes, congratulations on the order backlog. It keeps on growing. I just wanted to maybe discuss a bit more, if you could give a bit more guidance towards the path of improvement between Powertrain Solutions and Electrification Solutions. Can you comment, you know, to hit this sort of lower end of the margin range in the second quarter, what kind of improvement are you looking within Electrification Solutions? Do you expect Powertrain Solutions to go back again to the high single digit margins, maybe, you know, towards the upper end of maybe close to double-digit margins on the quarter? That'll be the, you know, the first point. Second point, with this kind of order backlog, I always wonder if you need to open a new plant or if CapEx needs to change, not now, but maybe in the medium term. Is this something that you think you need to do or as you have discussed in previous calls, the level of CapEx is still adequate and you don't really need to open any additional plants? Thank you. Yeah. Maybe I start with the second one, CapEx. As you, as you might know, we have a long-term plan of how are we going to ramp up the electrification business. If I look now to the order backlog, because here we basically have to install new capacities. The order backlog of the ICE one is more or less capacity installed. I would assume your question, José, was also focusing more on the electrification side. Now we have a plan. We know, and you know those, and I mentioned that those points like EUR 5 billion in 2026, and then targeting with all what we know, EUR 10 billion-EUR 12 billion in 2030. We know also what does that mean for CapEx, for engineering resources, but also what does that mean for the procurement side? For some typical and critical components, SiC, MOSFETs, et cetera, we have then also to make sure that supply of components over the next couple of years is secured. That's always a complete picture over many years. We have all line items in front of us. With all what we know today, the CapEx, which we mentioned, the 5%-6%, should be okay to basically support the capacity ramp up or the sales ramp up for the next years in electrification. It was a little bit long answer, but I wanted to give you that, let's say, more holistic picture, that we are not looking to one number only, but have a complete thought through long-term view of where are we going, what are, what is the impact top line on the, on the related line items like CapEx, engineering, whatsoever, procurement. Is that answering your question, José? That's great. That's fantastic. Thank you. If you could comment a little bit on the, on the path of, you know, of improvement through the year. Clearly, there's gonna be improvement across two divisions. Yeah. How do we think about that path of improvement and, you know, and the revenue split for the year? Thank you. That was the first question you asked. Yeah. You wanna comment on that or should I? If you want. I can start, and if I make big mistakes, Werner, you can correct me. First of all, on the division E level, improvements, where do they come from? Already somehow we touched on that point that scaling up the electrification business. I said some numbers, like where are we with the gross margin, what do we expect for the outer years? We said that EUR 300 million is not representative, the first quarter sales for the full year. We will see more back-end loaded, but starting already in quarter two, sales increasing. That's one part of it. The major part of it is also related to what we call REACT. The price increases we have with our customers. As said, only the smaller part could somehow find its way into our P&L in quarter one. The major part will find its way in our P&L in quarter two, starting quarter two, and then obviously continue in quarter three and four. Don't forget that our goal is, and that's I would say 99% of the cases, no longer to work with one-time payments, but with concrete price increases. Then it's by far easier when you move into the next year, 2024, just to negotiate with the customers, don't touch the prices. We stay on with those prices. One-time payments, that is a little bit a disadvantage, or was the disadvantage in 2022, are one-time payments, but you basically have then to renew, renegotiate, the price level, you have already reached again once you enter into the new year. That would be my short answer. I look to the left, no correction necessary. Okay. Thank you. There seems to be one follow-up question coming from Sanjay Bhagwani. Please go ahead. Hi. Thank you very much for having me back again. Just one quick follow-up on electrification margins. Sir, you alluded that the gross margins will step up throughout the year. Is there a possibility that in Q4 itself that the electrification becomes EBIT margin breakeven, given that in Q4, if your gross margins are stepping up, and on the back of that you also receive these R&D reimbursements itself in Q4? Do you see this could touch breakeven by Q4 or probably too early to comment on that? Well, thank you. You never give up. I really appreciate. Yes, we're going to continue to improve gross margin in electrification, well, to higher single digit gross margin, I guess. I don't know, it's helping to improve overall profitability, but we think breaking targets for 2024, even though we also can expect higher reimbursement towards the end of this year. Please consider, we will see further ramp-up costs coming with the new orders, and we're accelerating further, and I think that is not for free. That needs to be considered. Again, I think breakeven, it's getting more and more realistic for 2024. We will tell you the precise date when we open the book. Yeah. Thank you, gentlemen. That's very helpful. Thank you. Yes. As there are no further questions at this point, I'd like to hand it back to Heiko Eber. Thank you very much. Since there are no further questions, I would like to close today's session. Of course, if there are more questions coming up afterwards, feel free to reach out to our IR team anytime. Thanks to our team for preparing this call, and of course, a big thanks to all of you for your time and your interest. I already wish you now a relaxing weekend and looking forward to talking to you soon. Thank you very much.
