• Strong quarter in Continence Care, with double-digit growth in the US and solid growth in Europe, driven by Luja.
• Solid quarter in Voice & Respiratory Care, with strong growth in Laryngectomy and softer quarter in Tracheostomy.
• Challenging quarter in Biologics with 6% sales decline and -5% EBIT margin before PPA amortisation, due to the reimbursement change.
