Momentum around programmable networks for differentiated performance continued to build, and customers increasingly recognize the benefits of making mobile networks accessible through APIs. In Q4, we signed an open programmable network deal with MasOrange, a first for Europe. We see further signs that the overall RAN market is now stabilizing, with strong growth in North America supporting a return to Networks sales growth in Q4. Progress on operational excellence continued, with commercial discipline and supply chain efficiency actions supporting a strong adjusted Group gross margin of 46.3% in the quarter. We are not yet at our long-term EBITA goal, but we are progressing towards it, supported by our strategic actions. For 2025, in Networks we will continue to benefit from our product leadership position, with the best performance and energy efficiency in the industry. In Enterprise, our priority remains stabilizing the commercial performance in the current portfolio and driving growth in areas such as mission critical and enterprise private networks. Our commitment remains to put high-performing, programmable and differentiated networks at the center of the digitalization of enterprise and society." \* Sales adjusted for the impact of acquisitions and divestments and effects of foreign currency fluctuations. 1Adjusted metrics exclude restructuring charges.
