Bayer continues positive business momentum
The Bayer Group continued its positive business momentum in the third quarter of 2013, with substantial contributions from the Life Science businesses HealthCare and CropScience. "HealthCare registered encouraging growth, largely due to the outstanding sales performance for our new pharmaceutical products," Bayer Management Board Chairman Dr. Marijn Dekkers explained when the interim report was released on Thursday. CropScience benefited from a continuing favorable market environment and a good start to the season in Latin America, he said. At MaterialScience, sales (after adjusting for currency and portfolio effects) and earnings were level with the prior-year quarter in a persistently difficult market environment. "We are maintaining our guidance for the Group for 2013, although it is increasingly ambitious," said Dekkers.
