Revenue for FY 2010 rose by $32 million to $509 million. The increase in sales was driven by launch of new products during the year. EBITDA grew 55% to a record $79 million (EBITDA margin 15.5% vs 10.8% in 2009) due to new product innovation and better operating efficiency. Profit before tax reached a historical high of $68 million. This is due to better margins and more effective shop and salesman productivity. Profit after tax for the year was $50 million. This is the highest level in the company's history.

The interior ministry identified the attacker as Ibrahim Suleiman, born in 1988. It said he was driving a cleaning truck at the time of the attack, and suffered multiple fractures and injuries. The min- istry added the five US soldiers were not injured. Security sources said that the suspect was taken to hospital under tight security. Detectives found in his possession a hand-written letter pledging allegiance to IS and adopting its ideology. Explosives - including a suicide belt - were found in the truck, owned by a local contracting company. Security bodies are interro- gating Ibrahim Suleiman Suleiman and conducting investi- gations to uncover the circumstances of the attack, in addition to finding the suspect’s accomplices and bring them to justice, the ministry said, reiterating commit- ment to preserving the safety and security of Kuwait and Kuwaitis.

About our Cover: “PD First” Policies Take Root in Asia Pacific Region In 2008, the government of Thailand implemented a “PD First” policy, encouraging the use of peritoneal dialysis (PD) over in-center hemodialysis (HD) to expand access to treatment and enhance quality of life for patients with end-stage kidney failure while controlling costs. The result has been a sharp increase in the number of PD patients in Thailand, from about 1,000 in January 2008 to more than 10,000 at the end of 2011. Kanyakorn Piasukho of Bangkok was diagnosed with chronic nephritis in infancy and experienced acute kidney failure in 2009. She relies on PD therapy as she awaits a possible kidney transplant. Baxter projects the number of PD patients in Thailand to reach 35,000 in the next five years. Several countries throughout the Asia Pacific region, including Malaysia, Taiwan, India and Vietnam, are evaluating and implementing similar policies that encourage the use of PD over HD to help drive increased access, optimize outcomes and manage the growing need for renal disease treatment with limited healthcare resources.
