Lutz Ackermann Yes. Hello everybody. So this is Lutz Ackermann speaking.
On behalf of Fuchs SE, I wish you a very warm welcome to today’s conference call on the Q1 figures. With me on the call today is Stefan Fuchs, our CEO; and Isabelle Adelt, our CFO. Stefan and Isabelle will run you through the presentation in a second and then we were going to have the Q&A session afterwards.
All the documents you can find on the IR section of our homepage. Having said this, I would like to hand over to Stefan. Stefan, please go ahead.
Stefan Fuchs Thank you very much, Lutz, and also a very warm welcome from my side. We are satisfied with our first quarter, which was in line with our planning and our expectations. I think the first good news is really the 5% sales growth, which also had a volume growth underneath, which was very important to us.
From an EBIT standpoint, we had the best first quarter ever. It’s a little bit under proportionate.
