Revenues increased from 9.9 billion to 11.1 billion, while order intake increased from 8.4 billion to 9.3 billion kronor.
"In terms of sales, 2024 is a record year for Getinge and we ended it with a consistently strong quarter", writes CEO Mattias Perjos in a comment.
The Board of Directors proposes a dividend to shareholders of 4.60 kronor per share, 20 öre higher than last year.
