[Operator Instructions] Before we begin, we would just like to submit the following poll. If you could give that your kind attention, I'm sure the company would be most grateful. And we will now begin the presentation and move to live Q&A at the end. Thank you. Andrew Briggs Group CEO & Director Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Standard Life's 2026 Half Year Results. Today, I'll begin with an update on how our delivery is building momentum across our strategic priorities. Nic will take you through the detail of our financial performance, which supports achieving our 2026 targets. I'll then return to update on our next phase of growth before taking your questions. We're now in the final stages of our 3-year strategy, and I'm delighted with the progress we've made since 2024. First, the U.K. market is one of the most attractive globally for retirement savings and income, and we're uniquely positioned in that market because of the capabilities and platforms we've built, our leading brand and our commitment to putting our customers at the core of everything we do. Second, we're building momentum through execution of our strategic priorities, which is driving growth across our key financial metrics. That means we've already achieved some of our end 2026 targets with our strong half year results, and we're on track for the remainder. Third, we're poised for further growth and an acceleration of our strategy through both the GBP 2 billion Aegon U.K. acquisition and the recently announced GBP 2 billion U.K. PRT partnership.
