Jón Sigurðsson, President & CEO, comments: "We are pleased to see the results of the quarter, with the highest operating profits Össur has generated along with a very strong cash flow. In the second quarter we executed cost reduction initiatives which are having the intended impact in this quarter. Performance in EMEA continues to be good and we see some positive signs in Americas. However, we believe that it is realistic to expect some disturbance in the US for the next couple of quarters. In the third quarter we continued to strengthen our position and sales channels through two minor acquisitions, followed by the closing of the acquisition of TeamOlmed in October."
