This was achieved despite headwinds from supply chain bottlenecks and price inflation for raw materials which underlines the robust business model.

As announced, the weaker first six months were made up for by a very good second half; accuracy of forecast underpins the good visibility of our business.

Win rate for quotations remained high, mainly due to the qualitative and technological superiority of our equipment as well as our process know how.

SKAN was again able to expand its position as number one in the high-end segment of the isolator market.

Record order backlog and book to bill ratio at 1.5 provide very good visibility.

Proposed dividend of CHF 0.25 per share (2021: CHF 0.24 per share).

Good operational progress and further investments in capacity expansion

Organization was able to manage again a double-digit organic growth.

Delays in supply chain countered by reorganizing production processes, building up inventories and ordering key components earlier.

Strategic investments progress on track

Continued investments in expansion of production capacity, completed at

SKAN Stein and SKAN Germany sites and started at the AT site in Gembloux.
