The EBITDA margin fell by 10 basis points to 31.6%; in local currencies, an increase of 40 basis points was generated. Earnings per share fell by 3.3% to CHF 10.57. In local currencies, however, the increase was 0.9% despite a significantly higher tax rate due to the OECD minimum taxation law. For 2024 as a whole, Management expects net sales in local currencies to be at the prior-year level and an EBITDA margin of around 29%.
