Order intake

The Group’s order intake grew 0.3% organically during the first quarter of the
year. The order intake for Medical Systems, which reported a highly satisfactory
order intake in the year-earlier period, declined organically by 3.4%. Adjusted
for delivery disruptions that impacted the Cardiovascular division during the
quarter and were previously announced, the order intake for Medical Systems
increased marginally. The order intake for Extended Care increased 0.9%
organically compared with a weak year-earlier period and the order intake for
Infection Control amounted to 8.9% organically.

The increase in demand in Western Europe noted during the latter part of last
year was confirmed by the order intake for the first quarter, which rose 5%
organically. In the North American market, the organic order intake increased
1.0%. Most of the delivery disruptions that impacted Medical Systems pertained
to the North American market. With respect to the order intake for markets
outside North America and Western Europe, the trend for the period was weak,
particularly in the BRIC countries.
