Implementation running smoothly
All progress, including FTE reductions and savings, closely monitored
H1 results
We have made significant progress in our core operations and IZICO
Improvement driven by own actions at our various businesses
Unfortunately, ABC’s H1 performance was very disappointing. We therefore have initiated
immediate short term corrective actions to return ABC to profitability in 2014.
Full year 2013
2013 will be another challenging year
