Our current year results demonstrate the overall resilience of our employees and our robust business model. Despite continued pandemic related uncertainty, we managed to generate a top line growth of 19% for the full year. We continue enhancing our business efficiency and performance as we navigate the Covid-19 environment. I would want to thank our team for their exceptional work under extraordinary circumstances, delivering strong results and our committed channel partners for their continued support. As the infrastructure projects pick up, we are confident of seeing more orders across our product portfolio including our roofing solutions, building solutions and polymer segments. Continuous focus on driving business through new channels – e-business and DIY stores along with huge passion and commitments from our European colleagues were key success factors to positively impact the Flooring business.
