Third quarter 2012
The trend during the quarter was largely in line with expectations and the Group’s growth and earnings outlook remains positive.
Orders received
The Group’s orders received grew organically by 3.6% during the quarter. The order trend was in line with expectations and must be compared with the year-earlier period when orders received increased organically by a healthy 7.1%. For the Group as a whole, orders received improved in North America, while orders received in Western Europe were weaker. In the increasingly important markets outside Western Europe and North America, the trend remained highly favourable. For Medical Systems, orders received rose organically by a solid 8.5%. Infection Control’s orders received performed as planned, rising by 2.3% compared with a very solid year-earlier period. For Extended Care, which fell short of expectations, orders received declined by slightly more than 4%, primarily due to a continued weak trend in North America.
