of 2019 levels

Revenue and profit decline driven by limited larger Covid-19 related
orders which strongly benefited the prior year
Excluding larger Covid-19 related orders underlying sales grew
moderately, supported by inflation and growth in the base business
Strong growth in foodservice and non-food retail base businesses, but
soft cleaning & hygiene and safety end markets
Profit margin reduction reflects the return towards a more normalised
revenue mix, driven by the reduction in larger Covid-19 related orders
Overall, revenue in 2021 was 12% higher than in 2019²
