At the same time, however, we strengthened areas that will continue to play a key role in our operations. Some of the economic challenges during the year were related to new areas of operation, the profitability and productivity of which did not reach the level of expectations. However, we expect these solutions to develop positively and support our operations in the future. The year's poor economic performance is mainly due to the challenges facing two major projects simultaneously. Underestimated challenges of implementation with new technologies resulted in an excessive use of subcontracting and thus a significant financial loss. We have improved our operative cost structure, and we continually monitor and evaluate it on a daily basis. The year's results were significantly affected by the write-downs of goodwill done in conjunction with the financial statement. As a result of these measures, we will begin to build our future, strengthened and made more wise though difficulties, with a clear idea of where we will improve our operations in the coming years.
