• EBIT before special items was DKK 1,761 million, an 11% increase from last year.

 ”I am very pleased with our performance in the third quarter. We deliver 8% organic growth and an EBIT margin of 30% and continue to take market share across all our sales regions and business areas. This means that we continue to help more and more people with intimate healthcare needs live better lives. I would like to highlight our strong performance in Ostomy Care, particularly in Europe and the US, as well as a solid set of growth numbers in Interventional Urology and Voice & Respiratory Care. China continues to negatively impact our growth in both Ostomy Care and Wound Care due to COVID-19 related restrictions. Outside of China, however, the growth in new patients and the level of procedures are largely back to pre-COVID levels,”says President and CEO Kristian Villumsen.
