Outlook

Result Drivers
DIGITAL PRINT & CHEMICALS GROWTH - Revenue and profitability rose in this division, driven by Specialty Films, Chemicals, and Green Hydrogen Solutions, with strong Q4 performance and cost control
RADIOLOGY SOLUTIONS DECLINE - Continued contraction in medical film markets, especially in China, led to sharp revenue and profit declines; cost savings began to materialize in H2 and Q4
HEALTHCARE IT TRANSITION - Revenue declined due to the shift to cloud-based models, but order intake and profitability improved, with recurring revenue now 60% of the segment
