Pluxee continues to demonstrate strong business momentum with high double-digit organic revenue growth in the third quarter. As a result, we are pleased to be upgrading for the second time our Fiscal 2024 Organic revenue growth objective. This momentum is further amplified by the recent agreement to acquire Cobee, an innovative Spanish digital player in Employee benefits, in line with Pluxees targeted and disciplined M&A strategy. We have also completed the strategic partnership with Santander, enabling Pluxee to access over 1.4 million B2B clients from Santander throughout Brazil, and will now accelerate on integration. These achievements further reinforce our confidence in our ability to meet both our near- and medium-term strategic and financial objectives.
