The company's gross margin declined by 0.8 percentage points, primarily due to unfavorable geographic mix changes and lower average selling prices.
Organic growth was reported at 0%, below expectations, due to lower than normal hearing healthcare market growth and reduced sales to a large US retailer.
The diagnostics segment faced headwinds from negative market developments, particularly in the US, leading to postponed investments and lower execution.
