Mark Lancaster, Executive Chairman, commented: "The global macro-economic outlook remains uncertain with the structural weakness in Europe remaining unresolved. This in turn has created a degree of caution in some of the markets we operate in. Despite this we do see growth opportunities in both the USA and Asia. SDL has a well-diversified and broad portfolio of solutions and through new client wins and a strong focus on execution we believe the Group will continue to show growth. We will maintain our investments to implement our long term vision and strategy to create best of breed technology and service solutions."
