Welcome to ADLPartner's financial information website. Its purpose is to provide you with regular and detailed information on our financial performance levels, and on the schedule for financial communication for the current year. European number one for loyalty marketing with press subscriptions, ADLPartner is listed on Euronext Paris - Compartment C for more than 10 years. The 2009 results demonstrate the strength and responsiveness of our Group within a seriously deteriorated economic environment. All financial indicators confirmed the Group's satisfactory health, as sales growth and resilient profits reflected the control we exercise over our expansion.
We set ourselves demanding long-term objectives to make our business model ever more efficient, supported by both sustainable and profitable bases. The quality of our expertise, the efficiency of our teams and the attention we pay to the quality of our services will continue to ensure a balanced development. True to these values, we continue to develop on a regular basis our strategic priorities, drawing on structurally sound fundamentals as illustrated by the recurrence of our active subscriber portfolio and the significance of our financial resources.
This policy is now taking on a new dimension due to our aggressive commitment to sustainable development. By favoring the three fundamental principles of governance and its financial impact, corporate and citizen responsibility and environmental responsibility, we intend to meet fully the growing expectations of the civil society. Within this outlook, ADLPartner published in 2010 its first sustainable development report, which sets out the Group's approach in terms of environmentally aware activities and presents a first report on our responsibilities and results achieved in this field. It also explains how we manage sustainable development constrains as part of our operations.
We have the necessary resources to deliver sustainable profitable growth and create value for our shareholders, partners and employees, whom I wish to thank for their loyalty.
Jean-Marie Vigneron
Chairman of the Executive Board
