CEO's comments"In terms of sales, 2009 began well and the transaction-based
business developed strong. Despite weak economic conditions, we
retained or exceeded our sales targets in virtually all markets
except the UK. In the UK, the trend was weaker than expected, but we
retained and strengthened our market position, although total market
volume declined. I have respect for the challenges in the prevailing
recession, and the strategic priorities for 2009 are retained:
ensuring continued cost-efficiency, leveraging the potential in the
acquisition of the IMW Group and establishing a more
solutions-oriented sales model in the market".
