Our fixed costs were stable in the third quarter of 2014, and I want to thank all the teams for your discipline in cost management. With rapidly rising salaries and margin pressure, productivity increases will remain a key priority. We also have to be very careful with regard to inventory management, and I urge you to keep a very close eye on this topic. Please keep up the discipline!
I appreciate and acknowledge that all the teams are fighting hard. And I realize that you are often fighting against the wind, not with a tailwind. Market growth across the region is still reasonably strong, but the momentum is much lower than in the past. This means that all our success has to be made by us, by our own efforts. What makes me confident that we can stay ahead in this race is that we are in the right shape. Please show this shape on the track!
