“We are fully on track. We delivered 1.2bn (francs in cost savings) last year and we will deliver 800m this year. That is already guaranteed,” chief financial officer Wolfgang Reichenberger was quoted by Reuters as saying.


Reichenberger said the company was initially behind its rivals in terms of cost cuts.
