Second quarter of 2014

Despite a challenging quarter, the Group takes a confident view of the future. The weak demand situation experienced in the emerging markets at the beginning of the year is expected to improve during the remainder of the year. Specific action plans are in place to address the areas that are obstructing profit development: the quality management system within Medical Systems, a ventilator offering adapted to the needs of the emerging markets, and an adaptation of TSS (Therapeutic Support Systems) to prevailing market conditions. In addition to these short-term priorities, there are favorable opportunities to enhance the efficiency of the business and strengthen profitability in the medium term.
