3rd quarter growth was in keeping with 2nd quarter growth.
In France, the increase in sales remained satisfactory (up 10%) and new patients continued to be attracted.
Even though subsidiary growth remained at a good level (up 10%), it was also more uneven: sales growth slowed down in Germany in a sluggish market, whereas Spain fully benefited from the successful integration of IPI.
The traditionally more volatile distributor segment slowed down as expected (up 5%) following two quarters of strong growth.
Cumulative growth at end September was 13% (of which 12% was organic). As forecast, full year growth should exceed 10% for the sixth year running.
