In 2008, consolidated revenues totalled DKK 5,374 million, matching a growth rate of 2% in local currencies. Revenues were negatively impacted by exchange rates by approximately 4%. While retaining high profitability, the business area Diagnostic Instruments captured significant market shares in 2008 thanks to 16% revenue growth measured in local currencies. Operating profits (EBIT) amounted to DKK 1,042 million, or a profit margin of 19.4%. Due to the weakening of the British pound and the US dollar, in particular, EBIT was negatively impacted by exchange rates in the amount of approximately DKK 90 million. Despite the financial crisis and generally unfavourable market conditions, consolidated cash flows from operating activities totalled DKK 828 million in 2008. The considerable cash flows generated in the period under review match last year's cash flows and also reflect a satisfactory development in inventories, receivables and payables. At the beginning of 2009, the Group's hearing aid businesses have strong product portfolios, which are expected to be enhanced even further in spring through significant new products. Based on this, we expect corporate wholesale of hearing aids to exceed market growth by 2-4 percentage points in 2009. We maintain our decision to temporarily suspend our buy-back of shares, as announced in November 2008. The global financial crisis and our wish to always have substantial financial resources available for any further expansion are the main reasons for this decision.
