We are continuing buying more land, and we always want to have an offer that is roughly what we are going to sell in the coming year. Our offer will always be in the range of 3,000 to 4,000 units at any given time that we look in the market. We are a residential developer on six markets. Katowice, we will not continue in. We continue analyzing Tri-City as an interesting market. At the time being, we are focusing a lot on growing anymore in the popular segment where we are today in the existing markets, where we see a lot of potential to continue growing. If you look for, Maciej said before about the Resi4Rent.

Nicklas Lindberg: The offer on the group is stable. We are continuing starting new project. We are continuing buying more land, and we always want to have an offer that is roughly what we are going to sell in the coming year. Our offer will always be in the range of 3,000 to 4,000 units at any given time that we look in the market. We are a residential developer on six markets. Katowice, we will not continue in.

Speaker #1: We are continuing to start new products. We are continuing to buy more land. And we always want to have an offer that is roughly what we're going to sell in the coming year.

Speaker #1: So our offer will always be in the range of 3,000 to 4,000 units at any given time that we look at the market. We are a residential developer in six markets.

Speaker #1: We will not continue in Katowice. We continue analyzing TriCity as an interesting market. At the time being, we are focusing a lot on growing even more in the popular segment where we are today, in the existing markets where we see a lot of potential to continue growing.

Speaker #1: If you look at what Maciej said before about the reserve rent, we did a sale of 5,300 units at a tag, which is a landmark sale and really has created a lot of trust in the reserve rent market, which has not before seen this kind of institutional transactions.

Nicklas Lindberg: We did a sale of 5,300 units to TAG, which is a landmark sale and really has created a lot of trust in the Resi4Rent market. We just not before have seen this kind of institutional transactions. What is important to highlight here, we have 2,800 units under operation. We have another 1,000 under construction, and we are going to continue starting more projects in this part of the segment. We are absolutely not leaving the Resi4Rent segment. We are as always, we see if we have mature products, we are divesting them, taking back the money to the company, and then making sure that we continue investing where we see the best returns for our shareholders. This is the three projects that we have now just handed over and starting to rent out, and you see the renting level is very strong in all three parts of the segments.

Nicklas Lindberg: We did a sale of 5,300 units to TAG, which is a landmark sale and really has created a lot of trust in the Resi4Rent market.

Speaker #1: But what's important to highlight here is that we have 2,800 units under operation. We have another 1,000 under construction, and we're going to continue starting more projects in this part of the segment.

Speaker #1: So we are not absolutely not leaving the reserve rent segment. We are as always, we see if we have mature products, we are divesting them, taking back the money to the company and then making sure that we continue investing where we see the best returns for our shareholders.

Speaker #1: These are the free projects that we have now just handed over and started to rent out. As you can see, the rental level is very strong in all three parts of the segment.

So we are a very big player and going to continue being a big player. The next market we went into is student housing. We have today 1,200 beds in Kraków, and we have another 500 now being handed over as we speak. So this year we will have 1,700 beds to be rented out.

So we are doing projects that will adopt to all the needs of the students in the different markets. You see here different examples of the projects ongoing and also the projects that we have completed. These are units that are between 14 to 16 square meters and very effective. You have all the amenities in the ground floor of the units below. Commercial office. I've been talking a lot about that historically, and this is one of the markets that I said for a long time, it will come back, and we are continuing focusing it, but in a different scale. What you've seen, like Maciej said before, we have sold off our assets in Kraków on Brain Park A and Brain Park B.

Nicklas Lindberg: We have now leased out 100% of Cracovia project, is also in Kraków, where we are now looking at ways to be able to divest that project. We signed a lease with PwC for 20,000. There are more leases coming in the pipeline now going forward. We have also started Towarowa phase E as well. The fundamentals are improving dramatically. What I said before, we are now focusing on Warsaw CBD. That has the lowest vacancy for a very long time. We are a big part of the pipeline, which we have seen today, that has helped us to increase rent levels, and that is also helping us continue doing more things in the CBD of Warsaw. Offices is something that is crucial for everybody.

Nicklas Lindberg: What we see now is that tenants are moving more into the city centers, and they really appreciate the buildings where we are doing. Where we have done AFI Office House, which is now with balconies on all the levels of our offices, which is really what people are looking for. We have two buildings that we are going to dispose going forward. We have Swobodna SPOT, a beautiful building in Wrocław, where you see here terraces, balconies next to MidPoint71 that we did some time ago. This is really where we are building a new city center of Wrocław. In front of that, we started our residential building that we talked earlier about. That has been very much appreciated by the buyers in Wrocław, and we already now sold 60% of the building.

Nicklas Lindberg: WITA is one of our destination projects, where we have the two StudentSpace homes I talked about before. Next to it, we have a very successful residential development. Also you see here that we have an office that is fully leased to Brown Brothers Harriman and OPmobility, and this is really showing that this is a very attractive investment. You see here this is something that investors are looking at today based on the long leases and the strong covenant of the tenants. If you look back in the earlier quarters, we have not started up so many new projects. What you see now, we have AFI Tower, AFI ongoing. We have building phase E ongoing. We are focusing a lot on Towarowa, where we are going to continue growing our business. This is the building that is ongoing now. It is a smaller building.

Nicklas Lindberg: We are shortly going to report on further leases coming into this building. We also acquired last year Grzybowska 53, which is a beautiful location opposite of our Warsaw Brewery development. Here we are going to do our next office development that we are going to start early next year. This is also another addition to the Warsaw CBD. What you see here, we continue acquiring land plots in Warsaw CBD. We continue growing Warsaw CBD. This is going to be the ones we are going to repeat going forward. There is a scarcity of office to be leased in these kind of locations. We really see this is the opportunity for us to grow. CitySpace has for many years been a good part of our business. We are now seeing an increased profitability.

Nicklas Lindberg: We are shortly going to report on further leases coming into this building. We also acquired last year Grzybowska 53, which is a beautiful location opposite of our Warsaw Brewery development.

Speaker #1: So what you see here we continue acquiring land plots in Warsaw CBD. We continue growing Warsaw CBD. This is going to be the ones we're going to repeat going forward.

Speaker #1: There is a scarcity of offices to be leased in these kinds of locations. We really see this as an opportunity for us to grow.

Speaker #1: CitySpace has for many years been a good part of our business. We are now seeing increased profitability. We are closing down less successful locations and focusing on Warsaw, in the same way as we're doing in the rest of the segments.

Nicklas Lindberg: We are closing down less successful locations and focusing on Warsaw in the same way as we are doing in the rest of the office segments. Here we have now a strong business case. We see a strong revenue growth. We see a strong profitability. This is one of the businesses that are benefiting dramatically on the scarcity of office space in the CBD of the cities. If you look at Galeria Mokotów, we are now, as we said before, we are stabilizing the assets. We are changing the tenants to be having the latest and greatest tenants in the business, and we continue growing our top line of the business.

Nicklas Lindberg: We are closing down less successful locations and focusing on Warsaw in the same way as we are doing in the rest of the office segments. Here we have now a strong business case.

If you look at Galeria Mokotów, we are now, as we said before, we are stabilizing the assets.

Speaker #1: Here we now have a strong business case. We see strong revenue growth. We see strong profitability. This is one of the businesses that is benefiting dramatically from the scarcity of office space in the CBD of the cities.

Speaker #1: If you look at Galleria Moccini, we are now, as we said before, stabilizing the assets. We are changing the tenants to be having the latest and greatest tenants in the business.

Speaker #1: And we're continuing to grow our top line of the business. We are now slowly stabilizing the assets, which is crucial for us to continue putting that as long-term assets, which we will then analyze to determine when it's the right time to dispose of them, when we think we're going to get the right value out of that asset.

Nicklas Lindberg: We are now slowly stabilizing the assets, which is crucial for us to continue putting that one as long-term assets that we are then going to analyze when is the right time to dispose, when we think we are going to get the right value out of that asset. From an ESG, we continue focusing on ESG. We are implemented across all over the group with decarbonization. We also focus on taxonomy, and also most of all, we are focusing how can we make sure that all the ESG activities are benefiting also our tenants and our occupiers of our assets. Also, I think a big part of our ESG activities is also what Maciej talked about before, where we put big green areas into all our developments to continue getting that feeling into all the projects where we are doing, where we are having our destination projects. Maciej.

Nicklas Lindberg: We are now slowly stabilizing the assets, which is crucial for us to continue putting that one as long-term assets that we are then going to analyze when is the right time to dispose, when we think we are going to get the right value out of that asset.

Also, I think a big part of our ESG activities is also what Maciej talked about before, where we put big green areas into all our developments to continue getting that feeling into all the projects where we are doing, where we are having our destination projects. Maciej.

Speaker #1: From an ESG perspective, we continue focusing on ESG, and we are implementing it across the whole group. We have decarbonization. We also focus on taxonomy, and, most of all, we are focusing on how we can make sure that all the ESG activities are also benefiting our tenants and the occupiers of our assets.

Speaker #1: And also, I think a big part of our ESG activities is, as Maciej talked about before, where we put big green areas into all our developments to continue getting that feeling into all the projects we're doing, where we're having our destination projects.

Speaker #1: Maciej.

Speaker #2: Yeah. So let's take a deeper dive into our financials. I already mentioned a very big improvement year-on-year, so Q2 '26 over Q2 '25.

Maciej Drozd: Yeah. Let us make a deeper dive into our financials. I already mentioned a very big improvement year on year, so Q2 2026 over Q2 2025. If you look at the details, you will immediately see a huge change in fair value gain. Last year result was under pressure in that area. You will also notice that we did reduce financial costs, that our JVs produced very good result in the second quarter. Also, if you look at the details, our SG&A were flat, which is basically what we want to achieve also looking forward. Looking at the margin, you will see strong residential margin of 33%, and obviously a big part of the result comes also from that. Our margin strategy is to keep the margin at 30% or above that. On this page, you can also see some details on fair value gains.

Maciej Drozd: Yeah. Let us make a deeper dive into our financials. I already mentioned a very big improvement year on year, so Q2 2026 over Q2 2025. If you look at the details, you will immediately see a huge change in fair value gain. Last year result was under pressure in that area. You will also notice that we did reduce financial costs, that our JVs produced very good result in the second quarter. Also, if you look at the details, our SG&A were flat, which is basically what we want to achieve also looking forward. Looking at the margin, you will see strong residential margin of 33%, and obviously a big part of the result comes also from that. Our margin strategy is to keep the margin at 30% or above that. On this page, you can also see some details on fair value gains.

Speaker #2: If you look at the details, you will immediately see a huge change in fair value gain. Last year's result was under pressure in that area.

Speaker #2: But you will also notice that we did reduce financial costs, that our GVs produced very good results in the second quarter, and also that if you look at the details, our SG&A were flat.

Speaker #2: Which is basically what we want to achieve also, looking forward. Looking at the margin, you will see a strong residential margin of 33%. And obviously, a big part of the result also comes from that.

Speaker #2: Our margin strategy is to keep the margin at 30% or above. On this page, you can also see some details on fair value gain.

Speaker #2: So you see that we continue to make money to revalue both spot Swobodna Wrocław and Wita Kraków. We have positive results. But the results of Towarowa, I just want to remind you, are visible in the JV part, right?

Maciej Drozd: You see that we continue to make money to revalue both Swobodna Wrocław and WITA Kraków with positive results. The results of Towarowa, I just wanted to remind you, are visible in the JV part, right? Because we are 30% partner. We do not show the revaluation of these buildings in our fair value gains. They impact in a very positive way our JV line. Our balance sheet is slightly decreasing, which makes sense of course, because as we dispose assets, repay debt and pay dividend, it is natural. But at the same time, you will see significant growth of inventory, which is a reflection of growth of Archicom. That is exactly our strategy, so to have more and more investment in that part of the business.

Maciej Drozd: You see that we continue to make money to revalue both Swobodna Wrocław and WITA Kraków with positive results.

Speaker #2: Our balance sheet is slightly decreasing, which makes sense, of course, because as we dispose of assets, repay debt, and pay dividends, it's natural. But at the same time, you will see significant growth of inventory.

Speaker #2: Which is reflection of growth of Archicom. And that's exactly our strategy. So to have more and more investment in that part of the business.

Speaker #2: Also in JVs. Which is something very important. We are going to continue both disinvest and invest. Meaning we get the money out from the mature assets like from the transaction in Resy for Rent.

Maciej Drozd: Also in JVs, which is something very important, we are going to continue both disinvest and invest, meaning we get the money out from the mature assets like from the transaction in Resi4Rent, but we continue to put money back in new projects, both in Resi4Rent and in student housing. We have very strong cash position, better than at the end of the year. Otherwise, I think it is exactly what you should expect, thinking about what our strategy is. Also, when we look at our liabilities, that part of our balance sheet, you will immediately notice that prepayment of residential customers increased a lot and this is what we expect also looking forward. With growing residential business, we expect to see more and more business being financed by prepayments of clients who buy our apartments and continue to pay as we build.

Maciej Drozd: Also in JVs, which is something very important, we are going to continue both disinvest and invest, meaning we get the money out from the mature assets like from the transaction in Resi4Rent, but we continue to put money back in new projects, both in Resi4Rent and in student housing.

With growing residential business, we expect to see more and more business being financed by prepayments of clients who buy our apartments and continue to pay as we build.

Speaker #2: But we continue to put money back into new projects, both in Resi for Rent and in student housing. We have a very strong cash position.

Speaker #2: Better than at the end of the year. And otherwise, I think it's exactly what you should expect, thinking about what our strategy is. Also, when we look at our liabilities—that part of our balance sheet—you will immediately notice that prepayment of residential customers increased a lot, and this is what we expect also looking forward.

Speaker #2: We've got a growing residential business. We expect to see more and more business being financed by prepayments from clients who buy our apartments and continue to pay as we build.

Speaker #2: Our debt will continue to decrease as we repay. As we repaid both in terms of project debt but also the corporate level debt. And that's why our net debt ratio is lower than last quarter and then at the year end.

Maciej Drozd: Our debt will continue to decrease as we repay, both in terms of project debt, but also the corporate level debt. That is why our net debt ratio is lower than last quarter and then at the year-end, and we will continue to decrease it to move to our target below 30% of net debt to total assets. I already mentioned decreasing bond debt as part of our strategy. Here is a maturity profile of our bonds. I would like to start from the bottom part, so more green. You will see that in 2026, now it is even non-existing today, but still at the end of June, we had PLN 25 million maturing that was repaid already now in September. We are also planning, and we declared that we repay PLN 180 million of bonds maturing next year, already this year in December, so before the maturity.

Speaker #2: And we will continue to decrease it to move toward our target of below 30% net debt to total assets. I already mentioned decreasing bond debt as part of our strategy.

Speaker #2: Here is a maturity profile of our bonds. I would like to start from the bottom part, so more green. You will see that in 2026, now it's even non-existing today, but still, at the end of June, we had 25 million maturing that was repaid already now in September.

Speaker #2: We are also planning, and we declared, that we will repay €180 million of bonds maturing next year already this year, in December—so, before the maturity.

Speaker #2: I already talked about the repricing of the bonds. So this is something that affected bonds mainly maturing in 2029, and this blue part, this darker blue part, maturing in 2028.

Maciej Drozd: I already talked about repricing of the bonds. This is something that affected bonds mainly maturing in 2029, and this blue part, this darker blue part maturing in 2028. So we decreased the cost of debt by 150 basis points. At the top, you will see gray part, which is Archicom bonds. You will notice that in 2027, we have PLN 378 million of bonds maturing. It is in H1. Of course, Archicom is preparing to refinance these bonds already in Q4 so that this work ongoing to do that. That should have positive effect also on the result because we clearly expect that the cost of this financing will go down. Because the market is very strong, but also obviously performance of Archicom continues to be better and better results. On this basis, we expect the cost of this financing to decrease looking forward.

Speaker #2: Better results. And on this basis, we expect the cost of this financing to decrease going forward. And again, last slide on dividend. We did pay a very high dividend in respect of 2025.

Maciej Drozd: Again, last slide on dividend. We did pay very high dividend in respect of 2025, so it was PLN 0.80 in Q4 last year and additionally PLN 0.40 in June. So in total, PLN 1.2. Again, from cash flow perspective, it was PLN 0.80 last year and PLN 0.40 this year. Which we obviously believe is a very strong performance and a huge proof of the financial strength, but also of the success of our strategy. Thank you.

Maciej Drozd: Again, last slide on dividend. We did pay very high dividend in respect of 2025, so it was PLN 0.80 in Q4 last year and additionally PLN 0.40 in June. So in total, PLN 1.2.

Which we obviously believe is a very strong performance and a huge proof of the financial strength, but also of the success of our strategy. Thank you.

Speaker #2: So it was 80 groszy in Q4 last year. And additionally 40 in June. So in total 1.2. Again from cash flow perspective it was 80 groszy last year and 40 groszy this year.

Speaker #2: Which we obviously believe is a very, very strong performance and a huge proof of our financial strength, but also of the success of our strategy.

Speaker #3: We're going to complete the full Towarowa in Q1 2029. What we see today is that all phases are ongoing except for the middle phase of the project, which consists of one office building and one residential building.

Nicklas Lindberg: We are going to complete the full Towarowa in Q1 2029. What we see today, all phases are ongoing except for the middle phase of the project that is consisting of one office building and one residential building. That is going to be started during next year. What you will see is that every year there will be a new project completed, and by the beginning of 2029, we will fully leave the Towarowa project, where we have developed more than 7 hectares or close to 200,000 square meters of mixed use.

Speaker #3: And by the beginning of 2029, we will fully leave the Towarowa project, where we have developed more than seven hectares, or close to 200,000 square meters, of mixed use.

Speaker #1: Thank you. Short and sweet. So we'll move to some financial questions. And this one goes to you, Maciej. Is there still a possibility of paying a dividend in 2026?

Weronika Ukleja-Sałak: Thank you. Short and sweet. We will move to some financial questions, and this one goes to you, Maciej. Is there a possibility still of paying dividends in 2026? Is its interim dividend conditional, whether Swobodna SPOT and WITA will be divested?

Weronika Ukleja-Sałak: Thank you. Short and sweet. We will move to some financial questions, and this one goes to you, Maciej. Is there a possibility still of paying dividends in 2026? Is its interim dividend conditional, whether Swobodna SPOT and WITA will be divested?

Speaker #1: And is the interim dividend conditional on whether Swobodna Spot and Vita will be divested?

Speaker #2: Right. I think this is a very, very specific question. Of course, I cannot—even if I would very much like to be as detailed as possible—I cannot answer.

Maciej Drozd: Right. I think this is very specific questions. Of course, even if I would like very much to be as detailed as possible, I cannot

Maciej Drozd: Right. I think this is very specific questions. Of course, even if I would like very much to be as detailed as possible, I cannot

Weronika Ukleja-Sałak: Reveal much.

Weronika Ukleja-Sałak: Reveal much.

Speaker #1: Give you much.

Speaker #2: In that form, I think I can only confirm or remind you that our dividend policy is that we want to be, and will definitely be, a strong dividend payer.

Maciej Drozd: in that form. I think I can only confirm or remind you that our dividend policy is that we want and will be definitely a strong dividend payer. Obviously, that is for our shareholders, for the company, I think it is in the best interest. But I cannot answer such a detailed question. Clearly, I think our intent is very transparent, right?

Maciej Drozd: in that form. I think I can only confirm or remind you that our dividend policy is that we want and will be definitely a strong dividend payer. Obviously, that is for our shareholders, for the company, I think it is in the best interest. But I cannot answer such a detailed question. Clearly, I think our intent is very transparent, right?

Speaker #2: And obviously, for our shareholders and for the company, I think it's in the best interest. But I cannot answer, you know, such a detailed question.

Speaker #2: But clearly, I think our intent is very, very transparent, right?

Weronika Ukleja-Sałak: Mm-hmm. Thank you. Niklas, you mentioned that working on our land bank is a priority. So this question goes to you. Should we expect any larger land acquisition for residential or commercial projects still this year?

Weronika Ukleja-Sałak: Mm-hmm. Thank you. Niklas, you mentioned that working on our land bank is a priority. So this question goes to you. Should we expect any larger land acquisition for residential or commercial projects still this year?

Speaker #1: Thank you. Thank you. And Niklas, you mentioned that working on our land bank is a priority. So this question goes to you: Should we expect any larger land acquisition for residential or commercial projects still this year?

Speaker #4: We are constantly buying

Nicklas Lindberg: We are constantly buying new land bank, and we need to continue buying it. So of course, there will be more land acquisition to expect in 2026, both in the residential and the commercial segment. We see that this is a good moment for us to buy, and the prices are at reasonable levels.

Nicklas Lindberg: We are constantly buying new land bank, and we need to continue buying it. So of course, there will be more land acquisition to expect in 2026, both in the residential and the commercial segment. We see that this is a good moment for us to buy, and the prices are at reasonable levels.

Speaker #3: We have a new land bank, and we need to continue buying. So, of course, there will be more land acquisitions to expect in 2026, both in the residential and commercial segments.

Speaker #3: We see that this is a good moment for us to buy, and the prices are at reasonable levels.

Speaker #1: Thank you. Thank you so much. Maciej, maybe a question regarding bond insurance plans. Are you able to provide more details on this subject, please?

Weronika Ukleja-Sałak: Thank you so much. Maciej, maybe a question regarding bond insurance plans. Are you able to provide more details on this subject, please?

Weronika Ukleja-Sałak: Thank you so much. Maciej, maybe a question regarding bond insurance plans. Are you able to provide more details on this subject, please?

Speaker #2: Well, I think maybe I can expand a little bit on what I already said. So, just to reiterate, we do not plan to issue bonds in ECHO.

Maciej Drozd: Well, I think maybe a little bit expand on what I already said. Just to reiterate that we do not plan to issue bonds in Echo. Actually, what we did, just to clarify, the issues that we did in June were, I would say, for technical reasons to reprice the bonds. That was the only purpose. It was not to increase. It was a liability. It was only to decrease the cost. We are planning to repay PLN 180 million in December. So in Echo, we are going down in order to reduce our liabilities, but also to further reduce the cost of debt that is hitting our P&L. In Archicom, as I already mentioned, next year maturity is really a good time to be proactive in approaching the market. Again, the purpose is not to increase. The purpose is really to refinance existing maturities

Maciej Drozd: Well, I think maybe a little bit expand on what I already said. Just to reiterate that we do not plan to issue bonds in Echo.

The purpose is really to refinance existing maturities

Speaker #2: Actually, what we did, just to clarify, the issues that we addressed in June were, I would say, for technical reasons—to reprice the bonds.

Speaker #2: That was the only purpose. It was not to increase—it was liability. It was only to decrease the cost. We are planning to repay $180 million in December.

Speaker #2: So, in Echo, we are going down in order to reduce our liabilities, but also to further reduce the cost of debt that is hitting our P&L.

Speaker #2: In Archicom, as I already mentioned, the maturity next year is really a good time to be proactive in approaching the market. And again, the purpose is not to increase; the purpose is really to refinance existing maturities to lower the cost.

Maciej Drozd: to lower the cost. We believe that the market environment is favorable at the moment.

Maciej Drozd: to lower the cost. We believe that the market environment is favorable at the moment.

Speaker #2: We believe that the market environment is favorable at the moment.

Speaker #1: Thank you. Thank you. Now, switching to our sub-brand, Archicom Collection, we have a question about our most luxurious residential projects. Can you tell us more?

Weronika Ukleja-Sałak: Thank you. Now switching to our sub-brand, Archicom Collection, we have a question about our most luxurious residential projects. Can you tell more? How are you feeling about Flair and M7 sales volumes, given the fact that we are about to kick off handovers? How do you feel about residential segment earnings in the next H2?

Speaker #1: How are you feeling about FLIR and M7 sales volumes, given the fact that we are about to kick off handovers? How do you feel about residential segment earnings in the next half of the year?

Speaker #3: If we talk about M7 and FLIR, we see strong sales in both our projects. You should remember, this is a high-end luxury project, which means you will have lower sales when you complete the project compared to the popular segment, or the normal segment that we're selling.

Nicklas Lindberg: If we can talk about M7 and Flair, we see strong sales in both our projects. You should remember this is a high-end luxury product, which means you will have lower sales when you complete the project compared to a popular segment or the normal segment that we are selling. Saying all of these things, on M7, we have sold up to 70% already today, which is very strong from this kind of luxury segment of the market. Both Flair and M7 will, in the year-end, will have exceeded 80% of the apartments sold and handed over in these projects, which is very strong given where we are today on the market. It also proves that the Archicom Collection is a very strong brand that has really hit the spot on the market that the investors really appreciate.

Speaker #3: Both FLIR and M7, by the year-end, will have exceeded 80% of the apartments sold and handed over in these projects. Which is very, very strong given where we are today in the market.

Speaker #3: And it also proves that the Archicom Collection is a very, very strong brand that has really hit the spot in the market, and that investors really appreciate.

Speaker #3: And also, as we highlighted before, in the last months we sold for €100 million in this segment of the market, which is really, really a strong part of the market.

Nicklas Lindberg: Also, as we highlighted before, in the last month, we sold for PLN 100 million in this segment of the market, which is really a strong part of the market. Going forward to the earnings in the coming H2 of 2026, of course, I will not comment going forward on Archicom. They had a presentation on Tuesday, which I think they were very good of giving their forecast going forward and what has happened in the H1 and how they are seeing that the H2 will be even stronger than the first.

Speaker #3: They had a presentation on Tuesday, which I think was very good in terms of giving their forecast going forward and what has happened in the first half, and how they are seeing that the second half will be even stronger than the first.

Speaker #2: I would, partly, because we have two ways to do that. I don't want to be, you know, too technical or too specific. But part of the proceeds were paid already.

Maciej Drozd: Partly, because we have two ways to do that. I do not want to be too technical or too specific, but part of the proceeds were paid already. That was easier way of distribution. The other part will be paid very soon, because we complete the process, which is basically legal and technical to do that, but we are just few weeks from that date.

Maciej Drozd: Partly, because we have two ways to do that. I do not want to be too technical or too specific, but part of the proceeds were paid already. That was easier way of distribution.
