Comparable sales growth expected at 1–3% for 2025, supported by Connected Care and Personal Health momentum.

                                

Segmental Performance

The Connected Care segment continued to gain momentum, driven by major partnerships and continued hospital standardization with strong cybersecurity demands. The Personal Health segment delivered strong growth, driven by the Grooming and Beauty, Oral Healthcare, and Mother and Child Care businesses. The Diagnosis and Treatment (D&T) segment saw further traction on the CT 5300 and MR, and ultrasound picking up, although the market momentum in China remains subdued.

Margin Expansion and Productivity Savings

The company delivered EUR 222 million in productivity savings in Q3, bringing the year-to-date total to EUR 566 million. The adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by 50 basis points to 12.3%, despite the full quarter impact of currently imposed tariffs. The company remains on track to achieve the EUR 800 million in productivity savings in 2025.

Outlook and Valuation

For full-year 2025, the company expects comparable sales growth in the 1% to 3% range, with Connected Care growing within this range, Personal Health slightly above the mid-single-digit range, and D&T delivering slight growth year-over-year. The company's valuation metrics, such as the P/E Ratio of 143.53 and EV/EBITDA of 16.35, indicate a premium valuation. However, the company's strong track record of delivering on commitments and its focus on innovation and productivity savings may justify this premium.

Dividend Yield and Free Cash Flow

The company's dividend yield of 3.46% is attractive, and the free cash flow yield of 1.19% is relatively low. However, the company's strong cash flow performance, with free cash flow of EUR 172 million, a EUR 150 million improvement year-over-year, driven by higher earnings, is a positive sign.
