We had hoped that the never-ending Monsanto provision-and-extra-expenses-story would end without additional costs. Nothing doing! Another Monsanto-related provision and some additional impairments took a chunk out of the real-world P&L.
Bayer moderately beat consensus (sales: +4.4%; adjusted EBITDA: +2.2%), but the party ended at the one-offs (reported: €-698m; consensus: -€247m).
