Update: US LOQTEQ launch poised to drive H2 recovery

As aap gears up for a US launch of LOQTEQ in H2, its FY15 guidance looks
attainable. As expected, Q2 trading was soft, reflecting the lumpy orders in
Biomaterials. Taking into account the combined effect of €5m lower net
cash and rolling forward, we trim our valuation from €3.05 to €2.96/share.
