During this semester, we have successfully executed our holistic and robust Covid-19 action plan on top of the Fit for Growth plan and delivered €60 million in EBITDA impact in order to protect our profitability and free cash-flow generation. We have been able to strongly improve our margin in the first half of the year by 400 basis points and we have kept our cash conversion above 50%. I would like to thank of our teams for their focus and proactive mobilization during this period and for their full commitment to delivering these good first half results. Our long-term growth drivers remain intact and I am convinced that we should come out of the current crisis even stronger. Finally, the combination project with Worldline is on track and will offer a unique opportunity to create the undisputed European champion in payments on par with the largest international players, for the benefit of all our stakeholders.”
