Tony Martin Chairman commented,

“The Group performed strongly in the year, in line with expectations that were revised upwards on a number of occasions. The focus during 2010 has been on strengthening our operations throughout the world through investment in new capabilities and resources within our existing businesses. This approach has paid dividends in the form of impressive net fee income and profit growth, with revenues and profit before tax in the year exceeding previous highs.

Group operations around the world continue to benefit from broadly positive market environments. Our South East Asia markets have been particularly strong in recent months. The two geographies where we are experiencing some challenges and market uncertainty are Japan and Germany. In the case of Japan, our two trading companies have both been adversely affected by the earthquake and tsunami and we do expect some months of further disruption. In the case of Germany, recent legal challenges to certain collective labour agreements have created some short term market turbulence and gross margin erosion as well as exposed a significant number of staffing companies operating in Germany to possible future claims from third parties.

Forward visibility, as ever, remains somewhat limited but the Group is well positioned to benefit from its exposure to growing markets as well as from its continued investment in people and capabilities.”

A presentation of these results will be made to analysts and investors at 9.00am on 31 March 2011 and an edited copy of this will be made available later that morning on the Empresaria Group plc website: www.empresaria.com
