[Presentation]
Thank you, and a very good morning to everybody, and welcome to our 2025 Annual General Meeting of Treasury Wine Estates. My name is John Mullen, and I am delighted to address this meeting as your Chairman. A quorum is present, and I, therefore, declare the meeting open.

Next to her, Garry Hounsell, Chair of our Wine Operations and Sustainability Committee; Lauri Shanahan, Chair of our Human Resources Committee; and Mark Weldon. Toni Korsanos and Judy Liu, 2 of our Non-Executive Directors are unfortunately unable to join us in person here today. Toni, unfortunately, had an accident on Monday, meaning that she could no longer fly to Melbourne. And Judy has an immovable prior commitment.
