Management Commentary
"We had another solid quarter, and an excellent year across our three business areas," said Bernard F. Reynolds, ASI's chairman and chief executive officer. "Revenue growth for the March quarter was especially strong in Performance Improvement Services, where we provide clients with the expertise to assess, select, develop and measure the performance of their employees."
"Our Employment Process Outsourcing group continues to perform well and grew by more than 50% during the past year," Reynolds stated, "and this business has now reached a substantial run rate. Accordingly, we are well positioned to offer these specialized employment services to a wider market where we see demand growing rapidly."
Commenting on the company's third business area -- Compensation Services -- Reynolds noted, "This business is comprised of our McLagan Partners subsidiary, and it continues to be an excellent performer. Recently, McLagan strengthened its management team and has grown faster than we had expected when we acquired it some 18 months ago."
"During the fourth quarter and all year long," Reynolds said, "ASI's sales and marketing team has contributed to our solid revenue growth, developing new business from large corporations and other organizations. New clients are attracted to our solutions as they seek to strengthen the effectiveness of their employment, training, performance measurement and compensation initiatives, all of which are critical elements in achieving their business goals."
Concluding his remarks, Reynolds said, "All of our efforts -- especially the significant investments we are making in sales, marketing and new business development -- are designed to accelerate our success as we continue to grow this company. In the past, and all through ASI's 21-year history, we have been committed to helping our clients achieve their goals. As a consequence over time, our business has grown and prospered. We intend to continue to adhere to that commitment in the quarters and years ahead."
