Items this document does not state (12)
These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Growth in direct-to-consumer and OEM sales in Healthcare, along with increased sales at Satis Pharma and Q'SAI, were the main drivers of the increase in revenue and profit. Although advertising investment was increased, the effect of higher sales more than offset it. The full-year forecast was left unchanged in light of plans to increase advertising investment from Q2 onward and uncertainty surrounding the situation in the Middle East.
