Revenue performance driven by the decline in larger Covid-19
related orders which strongly benefited the prior year
Excluding larger Covid-19 related orders, good underlying sales
growth driven by acceleration of recovery in the second half
By Q4 the base business was approaching 2019 levels, supported by
inflation
Margin impact from reduced Covid-19 related sales offset by
reduced net charge in relation to provisions and improvement in the
base business; meaningful improvement in operating margin in H2
Overall revenue in 2021 was 1% higher than in 20192, with the
second half of the year being 6% higher than in 2019

Rest of the World delivered very strong growth despite the strength of
performance in the prior year
Growth driven by Latin America with strength in the base business,

growth offset by a decline in Covid-19 related orders. Operating margin
expansion due to strong growth within healthcare and warehouse
