Result Drivers

WEAK US DEMAND & TARIFFS - Co said weaker US dollar, new US tariffs, and cautious investment environment led to lower sales and modest order intake, especially in Medical Devices

COMPETITION & PRICE PRESSURE - Increased competition and price pressure, especially in Simulation and General Diagnostics, contributed to sales decline in Medical Devices
