CEO Kent Arentoft comments: ”2010 was a busy as well as an excellent year for DLH. We achieved all the main objectives in our recovery plan, "Back to Black”, in less than a year and, therefore, faster than originally expected. We disposed of non-strategic activities at higher-than-expected profits, reduced our debt and succeeded in transforming red figures into black by improving our performance significantly. As a result, we have already been able to implement our ”Go to Market” strategy as the next step in the development of a profitable and strong DLH.”
