Operator
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Evotec SE Full-Year Result 2024 Analyst Call. I am Yusuf, the Chorus Call operator. I would like to remind you that all participants will be in a listen-only mode, and that this conference is being recorded. The presentation will be followed by a Q&A session. [Operator Instructions] This conference must not be recorded for publication or broadcast.
At this time, it's my pleasure to hand over to Volker Braun. Please go ahead.
Volker Braun
Thank you, Yusuf, and warm welcome to all of you following our webcast today. We will cover fiscal year 2024 results and we'll also share our 2025 guidance before we will be guiding you through the results of our strategic review process and share our mid-term outlook with you.
Before we do that, it's my duty to point to the cautionary language, which you'll find on Page 2. And the second housekeeping item is to mention that this call is scheduled for up to two hours.
It's now my pleasure to hand over to Christian Wojczewski, who will guide you through today's call.
Christian Wojczewski
Good afternoon, and thank you for taking the time to dial-in. Before we go into content, I would like to take the opportunity to welcome Paul Hitchin, our new CFO. Paul joined on March 1st, and I'm excited to see such a great CFO complimenting our Management Board. Paul and I will guide you through the presentation today.
Let me first tell you how we will run this call. We will obviously cover the full-year 2024 results, and we will do this right at the beginning. We will then cover 2025. I will share our views on the current market environment, but I will also talk about the broader context in which we operate. This context will help you understand better why we are confident that Evotec will enjoy accelerated growth in 2025 and beyond. This will then lead us to our strategy review and our transformation program. We will approach this call in the same spirit I announced last time, providing clarity, a transparent approach and reliability. Reliability also means delivering on what was promised.
During our Q3 2024 results call, I announced that we will conduct a thorough evaluation of our strategy, our operations, the organizational setup, and our processes. With diligence and without bias, we have concluded this evaluation, and I can reiterate what I said in November, pairing Evotec scientific excellence with operational excellence is the way forward to deliver superior and sustainable profitable growth....
