Matteo Codazzi, CEO of CESI, commented: “2010 has been an important year for CESI, characterized by significant structural changes and ended by the best financial and economical report of the last five years. CESI was focalized not only on the efficiency’s consolidation but also on the development of the necessary bases to face with success the growth of the opportunities in the market. We have accomplished an “operations” and organization redesign also on the administrational and commercial processes. Now the Company is further strengthened on its position of the primary international operator, closer to the needs of its global customers. CESI can look at the future with confidence, aware of its technical excellence, its employees’ expertise, its markets’ diversification and, thanks to the growth of its capital and financial strength, it will be able to get the best opportunities hidden behind every global change. The Company’ s transformation is the most important redefinition of the “operative machine” after the process of unbundling activities of CESI Ricerca in 2006”.
The net income of 2010 is equal to 11 millions of euro, while the net cash flow is 15.6 millions of euro compared to the 10.3 millions of euro of the 2009. This allowed practically to cancel the net financial debt, which was just 0,1 millions of euro at the end of December 2010.
