Hi, Team! Despite the economic outlook clouded by continued market uncertainty caused by inflation and geopolitical tension, I believe that challenges herald opportunities. And today Avnet and Farnell, the Power of One, we’re presented with a rare opportunity to shape the future of our industry. In addition, I'm also very pleased to see that Avnet people across APAC never cease to give back to our communities and bring good things to life. Our colleagues in Taiwan sowed seeds in Spring and now are celebrating their harvest. Avnet India supported a critical environmental project with research equipment donation. Meanwhile, the logistics operation team in Singapore earned a community award for their contribution to fighting crime through education. I hope you can enjoy reading these delightful stories as much as I do. I'm very much looking forward to keeping the good vibes in FY25.
