Fourth quarter 2008

Getinge’s earnings trend remained strong during the quarter and met our expectations,
although the trend varied at the business area level. Despite the risk of weakening
demand in some of our markets, we expect to continue growing more rapidly than the
underlying market, with major potential for improving our profitability in line with our
financial goals.
