Customer demand for our innovations remains healthy, with certain large orders in North America shifting into the third quarter, while Europe delivered strong double-digit order growth. Our plan continues to gain traction, creating value through focused segment strategies, differentiated platform innovations, commercial excellence and disciplined execution. We launched SmartIQ for our Azurion image-guided therapy platform and received several new regulatory clearances for our AI-powered innovations. Our teams around the world are focused on delivering better care for more people. We largely completed the US tariff refund process during the quarter and continue to actively manage the broader macro environment, including inflation. Our productivity program is on track, helping to largely offset these pressures. We are strengthening our supply chain resilience as we continue to put quality at the heart of our operations.” Group and segment performance Comparable order intake declined 1%, with growth in Diagnosis &amp; Treatment offset by the timing of certain large Connected Care orders shifting into the third quarter. Comparable sales increased by 4% in the quarter, driven by growth across all segments. Adjusted EBITA margin increased to 16.4%, including a US tariff refund benefit of effectively 4.2%. Excluding the US tariff refund benefit, Adjusted EBITA slightly decreased mainly due to cost inflation and higher tariffs, partly offset by higher sales and productivity measures. Net cash flows from operating activities remained broadly flat, with higher working capital outflows offset by the US tariff refund. Diagnosis &amp; Treatment comparable sales increased by 2%. Adjusted EBITA margin increased to 13.9%, including a US tariff refund benefit of approximately 4.6%. Excluding the US tariff refund benefit, Adjusted EBITA decreased mainly due to cost inflation, higher tariffs and unfavorable mix effects, partly offset by productivity measures. Connected Care comparable sales increased by 2%. Adjusted EBITA margin increased to 17.8%, including a US tariff refund benefit of approximately 6.1%. Excluding the US tariff refund benefit, Adjusted EBITA increased mainly driven by operational improvements and productivity measures, partly offset by cost inflation and higher tariffs. Personal Health comparable sales increased by 8%. Adjusted EBITA margin increased to 23.0%, including a US tariff refund benefit of approximately 5.0%. Excluding the US tariff refund benefit, Adjusted EBITA increased mainly driven by higher sales and productivity measures, partly offset by cost inflation.
