Questions and Answers:
Unidentified Analyst -So I wanted to kick off with the -- your sort of medium-term guidance and particularly the guidance that's going to be coming into play this year. It sort of moved around a bit over the past couple of years. It started off being a margin target at around 17%, and then that moved to mid- to high single digits, and now it's moved to 0 to mid-single digits EBIT growth. What changed? What were the main pieces of that change? And perhaps what have you learnt over that process?
