Executive summary

  • Organic/currency-adjusted sales were stable at €4.0–4.015 billion, with reported sales down 1.3% due to FX headwinds.

  • Structural and performance measures, including Project SIMPLIFY and Competitiveness Program, are underway for cost savings.

Financial highlights

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
