for example, last year they had 13.9% ebit margins, this year? 14%, despite 27% higher sales growth...

No, I want to learn about numbers. Kidding aside, are there not at least some reasons why might not necessarily be a badthing, such as, e.g., they dumped more money into R&D (not saying they did because I haven't looked at the report)? You're basically saying their margins aren't rising fast enough, but that seems like an out-of-contet fact that could be influenced by many factors. Not so?

If this is a naive question, please to enlighten me.
