In our current business, sales in the third quarter increased 55 %. The growth was driven by acquisitions which also generated even stronger EBITDA growth. The business segment Solids and Others performed reasonably well in sales but EBITDA was impacted by lower customer demand for certain good margin products. The business segment Development&Technology continued to perform well, in spite of no material tender sales. During the period we have entered into several new projects, partnerships and also participated financially in a few companies with significant future business potential for Recipharm. In the business segment Sterile Liquids, we saw continued performance according to our plans driven by good customer demand and a healthy pipeline of new projects while the segment Solids and Others performed below our expectations. We stated in July that we will address areas of weak performance and initiate mitigation and improvement activities. Hence, in October we announced a cost and efficiency program expected to save more than SEK 60 million per year. Regrettably this will also mean a reduction of up to 100 positions in the Stockholm area. The program is now extended to other parts of Swedish operations. Negotiations with unions are ongoing for all parts of the program. With investments in property, plant and equipment of over SEK 130 million during the quarter, expansion project activities were high. The ongoing lyophilisation expansion in Germany progressed according to plan with planned completion end of 2016. In September we announced that Recipharm has reached agreement in principle with Alcon to enter into a long-term manufacturing agreement for a range of ophthalmology products. This contract is expected to generate around SEK 350 million in annual sales with EBITDA-margin well in line with the group’s average. As part of this arrangement, Recipharm will also acquire a manufacturing facility with blow-fill-seal technology, new to Recipharm, located in Kaysersberg, France for approximately SEK 200 million. After the quarter, in October, we announced the acquisition of a majority stake in the Indian steriles CMO Nitin Lifesciences Limited. This transaction significantly bolsters presence in high growth developing territories and the deal firmly establishes Recipharm’s emerging market strategy.  On a pro forma basis Nitin would add more than SEK 400 million to group sales with an EBITDA margin of approximately 20%. Looking forward we expect that the weakening of demand for certain products continues, hence the profit impact from weak performance in Solids and Other will continue near term. Other areas are expected to perform well. We will continue to benefit from recent acquisitions, and we are likely to close the ophthalmology manufacturing agreement within the next few months. With a solid financial situation, we are very well placed to further explore the opportunities, including near-term acquisitions, we see in the market.” The complete interim report is attached through the link at the end of the press release.
