¡ -
All right. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. And I'm glad to welcome you jointly with the management; and the Senior Independent Director of the Board of IAG, Patrick Cescau. And welcome to the IAG results presentation 2018.
I'm really glad, another year to be here reporting quite a good result and despite of the headwinds, fuel price up by 30%; the worst air traffic control environment in Europe in the recent history; and the impact of ForEx, a change in the -- in our result, EUR 129 million. So despite of all these headwinds, we have been able to report EUR 3,230 million operating profit, which is 9.5% up versus last year and with an increase in our adjusted EPS of 15.1%. Based on those airlines that have reported so far, we are the only major airline group on either side of Atlantic to have reported a high operating profit and a higher margin on 2018 compared to 2017. So the management team, led by Willie, deserve a very deep and very strong recognition.
