Full-year revenue was approximately SEK 14,150 -14,250 M and EBITA approximately SEK 6,200 - 6,300 M, excluding restructuring costs and excluding impact from the acquisition of Dova Pharmaceuticals. The main reasons for the better performance are:
The main period of the RSV season spans from the fourth quarter to the first quarter why sales of Synagis shall be evaluated over a full period (Q4-Q1). Gamifant is still in launch phase and continued volatility is expected going forward due to the ultra-rare nature of the disease and the limited patient population.

Revenue for the full year was expected to be in the range of SEK 13,000 - 13,500 M and EBITA for the full year was expected to be in the range of SEK 5,300 - 5,500 Mexcluding restructuring costs and excluding impact from the acquisition of Dova Pharmaceuticals.
