Thanks, Piero. Good day and good afternoon to all and thank you for being present at this conference. It is really pleasure to behavioral to communicate and interact with you for an update on 2020 financial results and business plans in general. As you know, we are a global company with the factories in Europe, Italy, Romania, in Asia, China and South America. And with distribution network and store at the worldwide as well. Therefore we had to face the pandemic at the global level, starting from China in January 2020 until the curve end lockdown in many European nations unlikely. As a planet, in 2020 we completed that the downsides of our factory in the Shanghai, reduced the transformation costs and started the outsourcing in Vietnam to improve the margin. We see the selling, general and administrative expense and in particular, the cost of the labor in 2020 were €320 million minus 15.1% compared to 2019, EBITDA was a positive €12.3 million, significantly improving, compared with the previous year.

We are satisfied with the 2020 order flow which was only 2% less than 2019, if we consider the entire year of the pandemic obviously. In the second half, the order flow and second half of the year, obviously, the order flow was higher than our production capacity. In fact, at the beginning of 2021, we had a backlog that was a €45 million higher than the previous year. In same way the order flow during the first 15 weeks of 2021 report an increase of 18% compared to 2020 with excellent performance in our market, the only exception of South West Europe and in particular, thanks to the excellent performance of the North American market, for which Jason Camp, our President of Natuzzi America, would be able to provide further details.
