Very much. Welcome, everyone. I'm very happy to present our first quarter results to you. Thanks for calling in. We've had a strong quarter on both the top and the bottom line. It started out quite soft because of weather conditions. We had a normal winter, whereas the last three winters were unusually mild. There has been an acceleration in March, and we also were able to make four acquisitions. We're again on the acquisition trail to start the year. Moving to page two, a few details about our top and bottom line development. Our net sales increased by 5% all in all, 2% organic growth in local currency, 7% came from the acquisitions, and a 4% negative currency effect because of the strong SEK. As before, we are happy to report that the pandemic has not had any significant effect on our operations and our business. Obviously, we keep a very strong focus on the development of the pandemic. We take a lot of care to both make sure that our employees don't get sick, but also we make a lot of efforts to keep them in the loop and to make sure that working from home is not a negative experience for them. Our EBITDA increased to SEK 50 million, 56% up compared to last year's quarter. Our EBIT increased from SEK 2 million- SEK 22 million this year. Cash flow was stable compared to last year. Reason for that is basically that we had a lot of sales at the end of the period. Accounts payable are at high level. Earnings per share at SEK 0.47 versus SEK 0.37 last year, where our AGM will be held shortly on the 29th of April, but it will be through postal voting only. Moving on to page three. As I mentioned, we had a negative weather impact compared to previous three years, but the underlying demand remains strong, basically in all of our countries. I would say the most stable or slightly weaker out of this still in Finland, as we have said before, no change there. We have strong growth, especially in Norway from our roofing waterproofing business. We had all in all negative impacts from the weather in Denmark, Finland, and Sweden. Installation services, which is mainly our Finnish operation, also decreased because of the weather, but we don't have any concerns about the order book and the outlook in the business. SealEco, our synthetic rubber business, had a very strong development, double-digit growth in almost all of its markets. Veg Tech, our green infrastructure business, had a weak quarter, also down compared to last year, quite significantly. The weather impact obviously has been significant there. We also, as we've said before, we face competition, quite aggressive competition. On the upside, of course, we've made the acquisition of Urban Green, which increases our footprint significantly and which gives us a very good portfolio in terms of the product offering in that sector. Prefab Elements, wood-based elements in Denmark and Norway, had a very strong development both in sales and in profitability. EBIT made a significant jump compared to last year's quarter as a result of the profit improvement program, which we've been driving for the last year or so. Very good success in that field. EBIT, as a result, SEK 22 million, 3.1% margin on sales, and a significant part of that stems from the profit improvement effects in the Prefab Elements business. Turning to the next page, four. Four acquisitions. First one is a waterproofing contractor in Norway. It's the first time we entered that sector in Norway. Traditionally, we've been in Finland and Denmark. We've been able to do so because the contract is active in an area where we don't have any significant customer base, so we're not competing with our existing customers. The second acquisition we made in Holland in the ponds and landscaping business. You might recall we entered that business 2 years ago in Belgium, and we have now copy-pasted, you could say, the business into the Netherlands, which is something which we've had plans about from the start, and we will try to continue that also in other countries. In the Prefabricated wood elements business, we increased our footprint into Finland with a small acquisition. Last but not least, Urban Green in Sweden, which is a very renowned operator in the green infrastructure business, especially in the urban area. A very nice complement to Veg Tech. You can see that we've increased basically three of our fairly recently acquired platforms geographically and in terms of the product offering we have. We do have, as you know, as most industrial operators these days, significant input cost increases. We've announced sales price increases, which ultimately should cover these increases. We have a slight risk of margin compression in case raw material prices further increase. That's not obviously a done deal, but obviously there could be a situation where we see further increases, and we would then have to react to that. There might be a slight effect on our full-year results from that. Moving on to the market demand situation, page five. As I mentioned, strong demand remaining. Finland is somewhere on the lower side in that respect. We see continued strong growth in the prefab facade and roof elements in Denmark and Norway. We have a very strong order book. We have obviously, as I mentioned, a slower start in most of our businesses, but our March activity levels were up and back to a normal level. I might add, we have again been able to take a bit of market share in our legacy business in the waterproofing business. I turn it over to you, Per-Olof Schrewelius, for more details on the financial front. Yeah. Okay. Thank you, Martin. We move to slide six here. As you know, the first quarter is traditionally seasonal, our weakest quarter, this first quarter was the strongest we’ve had so far, with the best sales ever at SEK 704 million, up 2% compared to last year. Also organically up 2%, in total up 5%. The positive development is driven by the activity in roofing in Norway, in the SealEco business generally, and in the prefabricated wooden elements. We have structural effects with 7%, mainly coming from the acquisition of Byggpartner in Norway. Currency had a negative impact of 4% here. EBITDA increased, as we said, to SEK 50 million versus SEK 32 last year. Also the best first quarter we’ve had ever. The rolling 12 EBITDA is currently at 14.2% here. As we said, we have so far seen no material negative impact from the COVID-19 pandemic in our numbers. Moving on to slide seven, where we look more into the Products and Solutions segment, where we were up 4% in sales in the quarter, organic growth of 8%. I would say the acquisitions did not have a significant contribution in the quarter, whereas currency impact was - 4%. As commented before, we saw a negative impact from mainly the weather in Finland and in Sweden, so had a slow start of the year there. In Denmark, we had a strong development in the prefabricated wooden elements business that drove the number to a positive change, plus 11%. In Norway, we saw good development in both prefabricated wooden element and the bitumen-based waterproofing business. In mainland Europe and in U.K., we had a good development as well, +12%. EBITDA increased to SEK 72 million compared to SEK 46 million last year. On a rolling 12 basis now, we are at 16.9% for EBITDA in the Products and Solutions segment. The good quarter is to a large extent explained by the good turnaround in the prefabricated wooden elements business. Moving on to slide eight, and excuse me, looking more into the installation services, where we saw an increase in sales with 1%, but we had quite big changes, where the organic development was - 23%. This is a traditional installation service businesses in Finland where they had lower sales due to the weather condition and also some lower demand in the rural areas of Finland. In the installation services segment, this is where we then consolidate Byggpartner, and the impact from that was 28% in the quarter, and currency effects were -4% for this segment. EBITDA decreased slightly down to - 11% from - 4% last year. On a rolling 12 basis, the EBITDA is now still on a good 9.5% for this segment. Moving on to slide nine here and looking at the total income statement there. Just for your information then is that the acquisition of Byggpartner in Norway is consolidated from 1st of January, Gjøvik from the 1st of February, and then the other two acquisitions, Urban Green and Seikat in Finland, they will be consolidated from 1st of April there. Gross margin for the quarter, good for first quarter at 26.1% compared to 23.7% last year. EBITDA for the quarter was 7.1% compared to 4.8% last year. I think moving on to slide 10 and looking at the balance sheet here, where we traditionally tie and build the capital in the first quarter for the businesses to come in the second and the third quarter. Our ROCE is well above the long-term financial target, that is 13%. We are currently at 15.9%. We still have a strong balance sheet with a net debt EBITDA ratio at 1.1. It increased from the 0.6 where it ended in 2020 due to the normal seasonal variation in the first quarter, but also due to the acquisitions done in the quarter. Our interest-bearing net debt is at SEK 463 million, still a good cash position for further investments and to manage the dividend that's expected to come in next week. Moving to slide 11 and looking at the cash flow where we can see that cash flow from operating activities on a rolling 12 basis is currently at SEK 460 million and the rolling 12 cash conversion is at 97%, which is I think still a very good value here. The cash flow from operations in the first quarter was very similar to last year, minus SEK 86 and minus SEK 88. With that, I hand it back to you, Martin, for slide 12. Yeah. Thank you very much, Per-Olof Schrewelius. Page 12, our key financial targets and basically to say that we've ticked all the boxes in terms of our sales growth. We believe that we have made progress in terms of our market share. Our profitability clearly beyond the 13%, which is our ROCE threshold, and the capital structure at 1 time the EBITDA, very strong and leaving room for additional acquisitions. And dividend policy, as you probably noted, we proposed to distribute SEK 10 per share for the two last years. We are above the 30%, 50% of net profit ratio, which we have defined. That is our presentation, and we are very much looking forward to your questions. Thank you. If you wish to ask a question, please dial zero one on your telephone keypads now to enter the queue.
