“We started 2020 with good momentum prior to the Covid-19 outbreak, which most impacted our trading performance in the second quarter,” said CEO Richard Tyson. “Since then, our performance has been on a recovering trend, which has strengthened in the fourth quarter of the year. This trend has continued into 2021 on the back of an increasing order intake across all divisions.
“We believe many of the positive, structural trends in our markets will accelerate as a result of the longer-term impacts on society from Covid-19. We see this in a number of areas, but especially in increasing demand for improved healthcare and an acceleration of digital transformation and connectivity.
