  • 2010 ANNUAL REPORT April 7, 2011
    2010 ANNUAL REPORT April 7, 2011 Dear Shareowners, I join DigitalGlobe this week with great excitement for our future and for our potential to create shareowner value. My enthusiasm is based on three fundamental beliefs. First, DigitalGlobe produces the highest quality imagery from the most capable and largest constellation of commercial satellites circling the globe. Second, the power to capture and analyze timely, high-resolution imagery anywhere on earth enables our company to help customers tackle a myriad of mission critical challenges. Finally, we have just begun to realize the market opportunity through customer acquisition and the sale of value-added products and services. Satellite imagery and analysis should continue to benefit from a number of important secular trends and challenges, including: geopolitical risk assessment; anticipation and management of supply chain disruptions; conservation of water and other natural resources; energy and mineral exploration; monitoring the effects of climate change; aiding warfighters and law enforcement; and urban growth and economic development. Our critical role in aiding customers with disaster recovery was especially evident in recent weeks. The tragic earthquake and tsunami in Japan highlighted the critical role of our satellite imagery. During the days and weeks following the tragedy, our imagery and analysis appeared daily on major news outlets around the world. More importantly, we continue to aid in the recovery effort — providing images and insight to government agencies, businesses concerned about their employees and organizations providing relief efforts. 2010 ACCOMPLISHMENTS As I reviewed the accomplishments of the past year, I am incredibly proud of the team I have joined. A highlight of 2010 was the award of EnhancedView by the U.S.
