Revenue of US$4.84 billion and adjusted EPS of US$1.69 beat Bloomberg consensus estimates of US$4.72 billion and US$1.61, respectively. Revenue growth was driven by the increased need for disposable care products due to the pandemic with the Consumer Tissues segment up 14% YoY and the Personal Care Segment up 5% YoY. Gross margins compressed due to increased input and manufacturing costs. Operating margins declined YoY due to higher spend on marketing and administrative costs. KMB announced a dividend increase of 6.5% to US$4.56 per share from US$4.28 and a new US$5 billion share repurchase program which represents 11% of KMB’s market cap.

As a precaution, Moderna will start testing a booster to help improve immune response. Moderna CEO, Stephane Bancel said, “out of an abundance of caution and leveraging the flexibility of our mRNA platform, we are advancing an emerging variant booster candidate against the variant first identified in the Republic of South Africa into the clinic to determine if it will be more effective to boost titers against this and potentially future variants”.

Revenue of €6.0 billion and adjusted EPS of €0.94 beat Bloomberg consensus estimates of €5.94 billion and €0.88, respectively. Revenue growth was mainly driven by an increase in the Connected Care segment, up 24% YoY, reflecting double digit growth in the Monitoring & Analytics and Sleep & Respiratory Care resulting from Covid-19. Additionally, the Personal Health segment increased 5% YoY and the Diagnosis & Treatment increased 1% YoY. During the quarter the company signed 25 new long-term strategic partnerships, including a 5-year technology and innovation partnership wit Rennes University Hospital. In 2021, Frans van Houten, CEO of Royal Philips, said the company plans “to deliver low-single-digit comparable sales growth, driven by solid growth in Diagnosis & Treatment and Personal Health, partly offset by lower Connected Care sales, and an Adjusted EBITA margin improvement of 60-80 basis points.” PHG shares are trading higher at midday. 4 SCOTIA WEALTH MANAGEMENT Disclaimer This report is provided to you for informational purposes only and is not intended to provide personal investment advice.
