I'm pleased to share another strong set of half-year results for Hiscox. In an increasingly unpredictable market, the strength of our business continues to come from what makes us distinctive: our specialty underwriting ecosystem, entrepreneurial culture and disciplined approach to capital allocation and returns. Double-digit premium growth, a combined ratio of 90%, an adjusted operating ROTE of 20.2%, and profitable growth across the Group demonstrate the progress we're making on our strategy. And with strong and building momentum in Retail, we are upgrading our full-year growth guidance for Retail from 8% by the end of the year to 9%. I'm proud of what we've achieved in the first half and even more excited about what's to come. Watch our half-year results video to hear more about our progress. #HalfYearResults
