Good morning, everybody. Live here in Amsterdam or online joining this webcast. I'm Jo Maes, CEO, and at my right is Joyce van Donk-van Wijnen, CFO. Welcome to the presentation of the results of Ordina over 2022. Before we dive into the financial results, let me share the highlights of the past year with you. In 2022, we continued growth in revenue. The share of business proposition has increased to 47% of revenue. We realized a net growth of more than 100 direct FTE. We're on track with steady execution to reach our 2026 strategic goals. We propose the distribution to shareholders of EUR 0.395 per share dividend in line with the proposed new dividend policy. In 2022, we continued our growth whilst maintaining a solid financial result. A revenue growth of 8.9% to EUR 429 million. An EBITDA result of EUR 50.4 million representing an EBITDA margin of 11.7%. A net result of EUR 23.9 million. An increase of the average direct labor force to 2,445 FTE. A free cash flow of EUR 27.1 million, and we ended the year with a net cash position of EUR 37.2 million. As said, we are on track to deliver our 2026 ambition. Our client satisfaction survey resulted in a client satisfaction of 7.7, already in line with our 2026 targets of 7.5. Our clients rewarded us with a Net Promoter Score of 66. An independent survey resulted in an employee engagement score of 7.6, again in line with our 2026 target of 7.5. The transformation of our business, represented by the proportion of business propositions in our revenue, has increased with 7 percentage points to 47% of revenue. Going forward, this will be the most important focus to continue the transformation and reach our target of 75% of business proposition revenue by 2026. Our EBITDA margin decreased at 1 percentage point to 11.7%. Going forward, operational measures will be taken to get back in the bandwidth of 12%-14% EBITDA margin. Ordina has committed to remove its carbon footprint by 2030 and aims to become CO₂ negative. We have accelerated the transition of our fleet to electric vehicles. We have planted 25,000 trees on the 13.5 acres of agricultural land we acquired in Belden in Belgium. We continue to look for agricultural land to compensate our last remaining exhausts and return new nature to society. Ordina is also a diverse and inclusive employer. We create and facilitate diverse and inclusive high-performance teams. We've started initiatives to measure and communicate the positive impact of diversity on team performance. By 2030, our objective is to have 30% female staff, whereas today we are at 20%. Looking at the revenue by market. In 2022, our total revenue increased by 8.9% to EUR 429 million. The top 10 client share was 45% of our revenue, there were no changes in our top 10 client base. In the public sector, we achieved a strong growth of 12.2% to EUR 183.8 million. Recent wins include numerous high-performance teams at several Dutch ministries and amongst others, the Dutch National Police. We have become the cybersecurity partner for the Dutch Senate, the Custodial Institutions Agency, and various Dutch ministries. We have won data migration projects for one of Belgium's largest health fund and a large payroll administrator. We will develop the architecture for a new national aerospace information system for drones, and we have won the strategic partnership with the Land Registry. In the financial services sector, revenue increased with 8.8% to EUR 112.8 million. Financial service providers are making extensive use of Ordina's high-performance teams. We have become the digital customer interaction partner for several health insurers, and also we're gaining footprint with our market solution for financial economic crime. Other recent wins include the loan management system for a Belgian bank, the realization of an Azure API platform for a Dutch health insurer. We have become the Mendix development partner for two Dutch insurers. We have delivered several security teams to a large Belgian bank, and we have won the implementation of a fraud detection platform for a Dutch bank. Revenue in the industrial market increased by 4.6% to EUR 132.8 million in 2022. In the industry market, we operate at a greater number of relatively small clients. Based on our objective to grow to the digital business partner of our clients, we are now focusing on our top 70 clients. This resulted in a shift of revenue from this market to other markets. Recent win in industry include the development of a manufacturing engineering system to accelerate R&D processes for a large Belgian pharmaceutical company. Among others, we have won the migration to SAP S/4HANA for a large Luxembourg logistics company. We have won a 10-year strategic partnership contract with the Dutch railway infrastructure company. In 2021, our media campaigns focused on brand awareness, especially in Belgium and Luxembourg. In 2022, we have put the emphasis on digital themes like cybersecurity, data-driven and business platforms. Also, we launched media campaigns to put a highlight on our micro themes we have launched, like fighting financial and economic crime in banking and integrated supply chains in industry. We were rewarded with excellent coverage on the Ordina Forest and the recognition of Joyce as CFO and ambassador for diversity and inclusion. In 2022, we reconfirmed our position as a diverse and inclusive top employer with various initiatives and awards. We reconfirmed the highest level in CO₂ reduction in the Netherlands and introduced the same program in Belgium on level three. Again, we achieved the ISO and NEN quality and security certifications. I will now hand over to Joyce to discuss our financial results in detail. Joyce. Thank you, Jo. Good morning, everyone. I will take you through the financial results for 2022. To start out with revenue, we achieved growth of 8.9% compared to 2021. Total revenue amounted to EUR 429 million. Organic growth was 8.3%. In the fourth quarter, growth amounted to 6%. This includes the effect of two less working days. Underlying growth was 8.4% compared to last year and in line with previous quarters. The revenue growth we achieved in 2022 consists of 6% growth in our earnings capacity, which was subdued by lower productivity with an impact of 3%. We increased our price levels by approximately 5.5%. We achieved this on the back of our growth in business proposition revenue, the percentage of business proposition revenue grew to 47% of total revenue. The EBITDA. The EBITDA for 2022 amounted to EUR 50.4 million. Stable level compared to 2021 at EUR 50.2 million. As revenue increased by 9%, this automatically means a decline of our EBITDA margin. For 2022, the EBITDA margin was 11.7%, which is just below our targeted level of 12%-14%. In the fourth quarter, the margin was down at 10.5%. A disappointing result, I must say. Following the investments we made during this year, we struggled to capitalize on it, which has put pressure on our margins. We invested, for example, in hiring more young professionals an d in business profiles, expanding and diversifying our employee base as part of our strategy to become not only the IT partner of our clients but also to be their digital business partner. We made changes to our organization to be ready for the next phase in our strategic plan. These changes and the combination of higher sick leave affected our productivity, leading to an EBITDA of EUR 11.6 million in the fourth quarter. Even though we see this fourth quarter as disappointing, the full year is just below our targeted level at 11.7% EBITDA margin. Combined with our strong focus on improving our operational excellence in the short term, we believe our position for 2023 and beyond are stronger given these improvements. Looking at the Netherlands. Revenue growth for the Netherlands was 9.3%, coming in at EUR 283 million. The EBITDA amounted to EUR 28.8 million, a margin of 10.2%. For the Netherlands, we work towards a further step in margin by improving productivity and pushing on accelerating the shift towards business proposition revenue. The growth in the number of FTE over 2022 is a definite positive remark. In Belgium and Luxembourg, revenue increased to EUR 146 million. In Belgium, the number of FTE increased as well, and we improved in the revenue mix with more business proposition revenue. EBITDA decreased to EUR 21.6 million, but with an EBITDA margin of 14.8%, this is still clearly a very nice result for Belgium and Luxembourg. In Belgium, growth of the past, few years was very impressive, which means it was necessary to invest in the supporting and commercial organization. This had the consequence, or this impacted the EBITDA. In 2022, the number of direct FTEs, our client-facing colleagues, grew by 104 FTE. This growth was achieved in a challenging labor market, where we see that our ability to recruit remains strong, but also that attrition levels are high. We recruited over 600 new colleagues, many of them young professionals, and as a result, well, we all became a year younger. Now on average 39 compared to 40 last year. Also this year, we conducted our employee engagement survey, and we are glad to see that our employees again gave us a score of 7.6. For a company like Ordina, the employee engagement score is of great importance because that our employees are key to what we do. What they value most is our working atmosphere and the development opportunities we offer. Last but not least, productivity, it came in at 69.4% compared to 72.1% last year, and the effect of this I already elaborated on, and Jo will touch upon this as well later on. Looking at the income statement. Again, we see revenue growth at 8.9%, coming in at a total of EUR 429 million. An increase in subcontracted work as the demand for our services remains strong in combination with the public sector fulfillment obligations. Personnel cost increase on the back of FTE growth and indexations, also the comparable numbers of last year were impacted by the lower cost as a result of COVID measures. In the operating expenses, we see a decrease of EUR 1.1 million. Here you see the incidental gain we recorded. It was a release of a position of a provision for the payout of the earn-out regarding the acquisition of IFS Probity. The payout was settled earlier to accelerate integration. Net profit came in at EUR 23.9 million, which results in an earnings per share of EUR 0.26. The net cash position at year-end amounted to EUR 37.2 million compared to EUR 43.6 million last year. The decrease of EUR 6.4 million was mainly a result of the distribution of capital to shareholders through dividends and the share buyback program. Free cash flow amounted to EUR 27.1 million. Last, on capital allocation. Ordina has a high cash generative business model with low CapEx needs, but also our business model is sensitive to drops in demand and significant expenses in such situations due to the short-term nature of client contracts and our largely fixed cost base. Based on these business characteristics, we follow a number of principles to balance capital allocation and business risks. We focus on organic growth and aim to be self-sufficient in financing and absorb downturns independently. We use our RCF to manage net working capital swings throughout the year. We invest in opportunities for inorganic growth, which are primarily cash financed, specifically in niche M&A and location-independent services. We return excess cash on our balance sheet to our shareholders. Due to the combination of continued strong growth, stable profit margins, and limited M&A transactions, our cash generation is comparable to last year. We see there is sufficient financial room to increase our dividend payout ratio from 40%-60% of net profit to 50%-70% of net profit while safeguarding healthy balance sheet ratios. We see potential additional room to increase the payout to 100% in case no M&A has been done in a reporting year. We deem it possible to distribute additional capital to shareholders when our cash position at year-end exceeds 0.5x EBITDA of the reporting year. The proposed dividend policy will be put to vote at the AGM of the 6th of April, as well as the dividend proposal. The dividend proposal sets the total distribution of capital at EUR 0.395 per share, which is a payout of 149% of net profit. We will give the word to Jo. Thank you, Joyce. Let me talk you through our management agenda for the coming year. Before we do that, let me get back to our strategy 2026 and where we are coming from. As said, we are on track with our journey to Ordina 2026. When we started our journey in 2018, Ordina was already a trusted IT supplier to our clients. With our strategy 2022, we have moved up to a digital partner relation with the IT executives of our clients. In 2026, our goal is to be the strategic partner for business and IT executives of large local companies and public sector bodies. Therefore, we will focus on three multi-year initiatives. The first is superior value delivery with our high-performance teams. The second is fast time to value through repeatable solutions addressing the discussed digital and market themes. Last but not least, to attract, develop, and retain IT and business talent by creating that next generation working environment. Let me discuss with you how this boils down into a 2023 management agenda. In 2023, we will focus on five major actions. The first one is a renewed focus on operational excellence. We need to improve our productivity levels on the short term, because what we've seen is that productivity levels decreased post-COVID. Some elements are incidental, like increased illness levels. Some elements are part of our strategy. As Joyce discussed, we have invested in young potentials and business profiles that are not immediately productive, but for which we will see the fruits in 2023. Some elements are due to finding our way in the post-COVID hybrid working discipline, and we will need to re-find our radar. Next to that, we will need continued effort improving our pricing levels to keep at least the pace of salary inflation. So far, we've been successful in increasing our tariffs, although with delay to this salary indexation. As inflation will be at high levels in 2023, and taking into account the scarcity on the labor market, we will need to continue these efforts, assuring our pricing levels stay in balance with the forecasted salary indexation. The shift to business propositions will be instrumental in improving our value and thus the tariffs associated. The second focus is continued growth with digital and business professionals. Although we increased our direct labor force with more than 100 FTE, and as demand for IT services remained strong, we had to hire more external professionals where we would have preferred to fill these positions with our own people. Best-in-class recruitment and retention efforts keep on playing an important role in our strategy. Growth with business profiles is essential in our digital business partner strategy, and therefore, we will continue recruitment of these business profiles, even if this means a temporary drop in productivity. Third, we will focus on growth with high-performance teams. In 2022, we have increased our efforts in measuring and improving the performance of our teams. These efforts, combined with the addition of business knowledge to our teams, have enabled us to lift the discussions with our clients to a more strategic level. As such, growth in high-performance teams will continue to be the most important driver in our transition to digital business partnerships with our client. Also, we are exploring potential acquisition targets with high-qualified personnel in Portugal that could boost our existing teams in the Benelux. The pandemic has learned working in virtual teams independent of location is a successful model, and therefore, we see augmenting our team with talent from outside our region as a real and attractive opportunity in addition to our ongoing recruitment and retention efforts. The fourth initiative is a continued focus on growth with repeatable solution. In line with our strategy to address digital and market themes, we will continue to invest in our solutions. Digital solutions in data-driven digital acceleration, business platforms and cloud, and cybersecurity and compliance. Also market solutions, like the solutions to address financial and economic crime in banking, and integrated supply chain solutions industry, and field service solutions in industry and public. As announced, we will continue to focus on organic growth, and we're very picky in our M&A strategy. We keep our eyes open for bolt-on acquisitions that will strengthen us in selected technology or market niches. In conclusion, and to wrap up, looking forward in this market remains very difficult. We are facing an uncertain economic climate, continued high inflation, and a continued shortage on the labor market. On the other hand, we have strengthened our position at our key markets: public financial services, logistics, life sciences, and utilities. These markets do not show a slowdown investment in digitization. We have expanded and reinforced our employee base, and we have a clear path toward becoming the digital business partner for large local players and public sector bodies. We're looking with confidence to the future, and we confirm our 2026 targets. This ends our presentation of the Ordina 2022 results. We're looking forward to your questions. Yes. Luc from KBC Securities. A couple of questions first on the inflow of young new workers. You indicated it has an impact on the profit productivity. Can you give an indication of how long it will take before they will reach, say, normal productivity? Second of all, should we expect a similar inflow next year? Will you repeat a similar program or will you put that on hold for the time being? My second question is on acquisitions. Can you indicate something about your pipeline? Do you see opportunities that look promising? Also in Portugal and other certain European country, is that progressing as you expected previously? Now that's it for now. The first one. Productivity of young potentials was your first question. We had an inflow of many young professionals in the month of September, which is logical, huh? We had expected to have them at work sooner in the quarter, the fourth quarter. What we will do is, I think in this quarter, the remaining of these young professionals will be at work, and that's the efforts we're doing now. If you ask me, will we continue to execute this program in the same way? I think the answer is yes. We're enthusiastic about our young professional program, and it gives a boost to these people to onboard them together. It's a six-week training program that they offer in September and the first half October. It gives a boost to the energy, and it is an efficient way of training. The flip side is that for a while we have this bump in or this dip in productivity. If you ask me now, I would still do it. Then maybe to your question on M&A. We are still having our agenda, working on that, having a lot of the conversations with these companies. We have seen, like Jo said, we are picky to see which companies really fit Ordina because it's people's business, so we take quite some time for that as well. It's still ongoing. Also the market of course, everything that's happening out there also has an implication on that. We don't see many changes yet, but hopefully some of these companies do feel what we can offer is a great opportunity for them as well. Also in Portugal, we are still investigating the initiative which we have spoken about to you first on the, with the half year numbers. That's still work in progress. Yes. Maybe to start off with the hypothetical, because throughout the presentation a lot is still about the tight labor market and hiring FTEs. At the same time, we see a lot of tech firms laying off large scores of people, maybe more so in U.S., but also here and there in the Netherlands and Belgium. We have a number of central bankers who are doing their very best to slow down the labor market. How would you approach such a scenario? Do you feel you're ready also if the labor market slows down? Yeah. Jesper. I have read the newspapers as well, and big tech companies are laying off tech profiles. If the labor market would slow down, that would be good news for Ordina, okay? I would welcome a small slowdown of that labor market. What we see is that the demand for us is still at a very, very high level. But we are seeing inflow from colleague companies that are working on, let's say, other sectors like retail, like manufacturing, where economical situation is less good. So we are seeing an inflow of competition in the sectors where we are heavy in. This is a first indication of a potential slowdown in that labor market. But it is very early to confirm that there will be less, will be a less tight market. But I would welcome a little less tight market, yes. Secondly, you talked about increasing productivity levels as they've come down post-COVID. Can you talk maybe a little bit about what levers you have to increase productivity, and what level should we think about? Are we going to get back at the level seen during COVID, or is that not achievable? Yeah. Well, I think the there is a lever that we don't have at hand is the illness level, huh, which we experienced a lot of flu in Q4. That's one. We'll have to live with it. As mentioned, I said in Q4, we had a very aggressive hiring campaign and disappointed on the productivity level of this new inflow. We'll need to manage that. For next year when we do the same program, we need to prepare better that we will not have this bump in Q4. That's a very important lesson learned. The other hand, and that's I think it's less practical or less evidence-based. What we're feeling is that we have worked from home for two years. Now we're in a hybrid situation. We all know that the productivity during the lockdown went through the roof. Everybody worked at home and productivity was very, very high levels. Now we're in a hybrid situation where we welcome people, and we encourage people to come back to the office because it's good for knowledge sharing, it's good for the binding of people to the company. The flip side is that we're paying this in productivity. We need to, let's say, get new standards of discipline within the company. How do we handle this new hybrid working situation? That's work in progress. How do we manage our talents, and how do we manage productivity in this hybrid working environment? Okay, thanks. Yeah. Good morning. Good morning. Melgers, independent financial analyst. Short question. I did have good contact with ICT Group, Teslin Board. Teslin is your biggest shareholder, and they have a very good, program working with people in especially Bulgaria and Romania. A lot of ICT, relatively cheap, high educated people working there. I just wonder, the question drops out of the sky. Why this nice country, Portugal, that I hear all the time? It looks more easy for you to use your connections, via Teslin in ICT Group. Yeah. They have 10% of their, that was two years ago, 10% of their turnover, is produced via Sofia, Bulgaria. A few years before that it was nothing. They have a very good result as far as I know. Well, in our remote team augmentation strategy, what we've been looking for is a very good cultural match. I think that's very important. Another element, what we've been looking for is very high qualified personnel, because we're not looking for adding junior labor staff to our teams. It must be very high qualified senior people that can accelerate growth with teams. After a short study in which we have had external advice, Portugal came out as the best region from a cultural perspective and a labor market perspective to do remote team augmentation in our teams. The model we're looking for is not nearshoring and offshoring, where you would ship packaged work to another country and, let's say, bluntly said, wait for the result to come back. It's truly adding people to our teams and therefore, having a good attention point for cultural differences between the Benelux and in this case, Portugal, are a very important element. This was the main decision point why we focus now on this region in Europe. Yeah. Maybe first on that illness, do you know what kind of impact it had on productivity in Q4? Compared to last year was just, was I think 0.8%. Maybe looking at your churn, you mentioned you recruited over 600 people in 2022. That means that you also lost 500. What is the trend, what you see in churn? Because that's a churn of around 20%. Yes ...which is really way too high. Churn was just under 20%, indeed. It was up from last year when it was just under 18%. What we see there that it remains high and also there it is where we used to have like cyclical trends over the year that has not come down to a new normal yet. Where we actually saw differences between the countries, where in the third quarter in the Netherlands it was a bit higher and it came down in the fourth quarter. In Belgium and Luxembourg, it was a bit more stable but higher than before. This is also something that we are, well, also really having a look at to see what is happening. We are monitoring this like on a weekly basis to see what do we see in the market. indeed, do we already see influences of, or signs that, well, the tightness in the labor market is coming down a bit, but it's still very high? Yeah. Given the scarcity is there, do you expect the hired capacity to increase further in 2023 and onward, or would you be able to manage that down a bit further? That would also be really good positive for your margins. Definitely, yeah. That's, that's of course where the focus, I think what Jo just already mentioned, is also getting people back into our offices, making more connection to working in high-performance teams, which we see has a positive element on our employee engagement. These are all factors that we are taking into account to manage chur n because that's one of our major topics. We also see new people entering the labor market, being with an employer for a couple of years. That is also a bit the new normal to move around faster. For us, it is definitely important to have career paths within our company to also make sure that people see that their next step can be within our company and not so much with the next company. Maybe looking to your client side, do you see the order pipeline or the tender pipeline improving or slowing down a bit? Is the market getting a little bit softer? Because some of my staffing companies saw particularly softness in IT and financial services. Yeah. Is that something you recognize? I think in the sectors where we're active, we don't see a slowdown in demand. Public sector is still going strong, financial services is going strong, and the niches we've picked in industry, logistics, utilities, and life sciences are still growing strong in their demand. What we see, and it's a very early trend, is that on the supply side, there's more supply. There is more companies are entering our market, most probably because demand slows down in other sectors. That's a very early sign. You see more competition. We see more competition. Is that hindering your pricing, a bit and the possibility? It doesn't help the pricing, Mark. Yeah, I know. That's, well, that's the actual, the second question. The reason more why we are accelerating our strategy, because we will not compete on the individual, C.V. and secondment. Yeah. That's not the race we're racing. We're racing the race to value. Yeah. That means from a competition point of view, we're comfortable with these new entrants, because mostly these new entrants are staffing companies. Do you also feel comfortable with the price, pass-through that you can say in Belgium pass on 8% price increase and all of maybe a little bit less, but that's a bit inflation that we're seeing. Yeah. Are you comfortable with that? Yeah. So far we're comfortable that we are able to keep the pace between salary indexation and tariffs. That being said, as I already said, I think in at least the first half year in 2023, it will be a continued focus because inflation is not gone. It's still there. You see, you already know that you are successful in January. We are successful. In Belgium, as you know, it's on the salary side, it's automatic indexation. Yeah. Luckily for us, this is also on the contractual side, huh? It doesn't compensate fully the consumer price indexation, which is the base for salary indexation, but it helps a lot in keeping that pace. As said, there is a delay. Because salaries go first and tariffs go later. That's what we've seen in 2022 as well. You can't pass on everything, like you said, there will be a slight gap... We can't pass on everything, which means that's the delay. You need to work on your tariff increases even after the indexation moment. It's a continuous focus. Yeah. The path we're taking is the path of value with our business proposition, because it gives us a much easier position to defend and increase our value. Yeah. Then maybe on your balance sheet. You're basically now paying out all your cash. Does it mean that the pipeline, although it's still in talks, et cetera, that it's at least 0.5 year away, that it's cooled down, et cetera? Because I see on your focus at the 5 points you mentioned to grow, two times M&A mentioned. You just offloaded the balance sheet. I'm wondering if it's twice on there, it doesn't really add up to me that you pay out all your cash. It's nice for the shareholders, but still in terms of strategy, it's a bit difficult to explain. What we see is we are in conversations, but we've also seen that we are not fast. We are picky. We really want to have a good grasp of what we see, what we buy. Looking also at how our business model is working, the cash generation that we are doing over the months, there we see that should be able to fit what we are doing in our M&A strategy. It's not like we indeed right now would have a announcements for next month. Has the size also come down then? The Portuguese player has not changed. No. You've been looking now for a year, and at some point you will know each other. Yeah. It's, why isn't it then that you come closer together then? If it didn't happen in the last 12 months, what would bring you together in the next 12 months, so to speak? Well, like 12 months ago, it was really, we really started looking, like Jo said, with an external party, which country. It's not like we're already one year with one or two targets or really into that process. That's a shorter period, but the conversations are ongoing. All right. Well, thank you very much. Yes. Good morning. Joost de Bruin. just a question on the freelancers. You've got the ultimate goal always to lower that portion in your revenues. We've heard it before, of course, many times. Where are we today and what is the ultimately the level you wanna go to and then the impact on margins obviously, please? Yes. Yeah. What we do see with the labor market is that, because of the high demand, we still keep on also using subcontractors. It's also, of course, where we also see people leaving our company into a construct where they are a subcontractor. We are, it has grown, but what we are really looking towards which contracts also with what clients do we have a lot of this business and then have the conversation, is this also a valuable client? Can we really take the position there where we want to be? That's the way we look at this business. We will never get rid of it completely because it's also part of our proposition towards our clients to say, "We're your partner, and you can ask us, of course, on a full service." There we will always keep on delivering on that. We want to lower that. It's, so there we would actually see that lowering this by like 5% coming down, I would say 5%-10%, that would be ideal. Looking into the labor market and well, the demand that is there at our clients, it is. Yeah. We also want to have satisfied clients and deliver on that. That's always a bit of a con-struggle. Yeah, and that's where the opportunity is, yeah. Our target is to lower it down to 15% of our staff. There's the opportunity. If the labor market would loosen up a little, there's the opportunity replacing that flexible work staff with labor, bring it down and replace with own staff. Yeah, with our own staff. You're at 25% today? Around 25%. No, we are at 20%. We're at 20%. We also have subcontractors. This is the revenue we do on individual assignments with subcontractors. We also sometimes have to use to complete a team, also a subcontractor. It's also in our business proposition part of our revenue. We also have to use subcontractors sometimes. There we of course, also want to do that fully with our own employees. The impact on margins, do you have any idea on that? Well, the margin difference adds up to, well, compared to our own employees, 15%-20% gross margin. All right. If there are no further questions... Oh. Yeah. Go ahead. Yes. One question on Belgium, where the profitability has declined for two years in a row. You mentioned a couple of reasons, and one is that you invest in the organization because it has become bigger and you add more support and commercial staff basically. Is that purely, say, a more or less cyclical or temporary effect? Or do you think that given the increasing size of Belgium, there's also a structural element to the lower margin, that you've become a bigger organization that needs more, let's say, more overhead and maybe also a wider profile, with some more lower value added activities in it? Yeah, I would say the latter. I mean, our Belgium company is indeed now over 1,000 employees, so that also means you have to add some structural, indeed, support commercial roles. Our Belgium colleagues are also very good in managing the ship very tightly. I know that they have the full drive, again, to increase on margin, but I would say just being under 15% of EBITDA margin is a very good result. Investing in the company also to have that strategic shift that we want to make within the company, that's also worth investing in. That's the way we look at that. Yeah, final one from me. Is there also maybe room to save some cost? You mentioned the hybrid working. If they're working from home, they're actually more productive. Can close down a building or, like ING suggests, to close down on Friday, whatever. Yeah, yeah. Is there room to improve margins from that angle instead of just improving your pricing or more demand, et cetera? Well, on the contrary, yeah. When we look at buildings, a lot of clients are have closed down office space. During COVID period, we have redecorated our buildings in Mechelen and in Nieuwegein. We're more and more welcoming our clients to work with our high-performance teams in our buildings. It's an extra, let's say, add-on to our business to get people to work together in our building. This is the position we want to take in the new hybrid working space, where I would say pre-COVID, it would be standard that our teams would work on premise at the client, where we now see that it's hybrid in a sense. Our buildings are now the home of our clients, where we work together, and it gives an excellent vibe, and it tightens the relationship between our clients. I'm very satisfied that we've done this move. I would have expected that we would even need more square meters. This is not the case. The buildings are not full, but the vibe's there. Gradually we're ramping up meeting rooms with hybrid teams, which is very good to see. All right. All right. If there are no further questions, I would like to thank you all for your attendance, questions, and discussions. This ends the presentation of our, the results of 2022 for Ordina. Thank you.
