SPECIAL REPORT 32 Brazil: Successes and Opportunities 26 38 Essilor’s strategy in Brazil is producing results and creating promising opportunities for the future. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 38 Shared Commitments Essilor has always been committed to corporate social responsibility. Looking back on a decade of responsible commitments. FINANCIAL RESULTS 42 A Year of Dynamic Growth The Company turned in a solid # nancial performance in 2010, recording its steepest revenue growth in the past 15 years. Highly Con! dent in the Future Essilor is successfully pursuing its development. There are several reasons for the Company’s sound fundamentals. First, the bene! ts of ophthalmic lenses are increasingly evident. As the most a" ordable and accurate method of visual correction currently available, they satisfy a basic need. Developing countries are discovering this fact every day, even if they do su" er from a serious lack of eyecare professionals, while in developed countries, the need for visual acuity solutions for people of all ages is constantly on the rise. Clearly, ophthalmic lenses provide an invaluable service. What’s more, having emerged from the crisis debt free, our Company was able to step up the pace of growth considerably through acquisitions at a time when organic growth had slowed. That’s why Essilor has continued to expand despite the crisis. Thanks to our team members’ sustained e" orts and our strong competitive positions, we maintained our margins during this period, con! rming what we’ve always said about the resilience of our business model. Within the organization, Hubert Sagnières took over as Chief Executive O$ cer. He knows the Company very well, having held various management positions for more than 20 years. Essilor is looking ahead to the next 15 years with con! dence in its growth capacity, global positions and solid markets. Hubert and I would like to extend our warmest thanks to our customers, suppliers, partners and employees, and to the Board of Directors for its energy, enthusiasm and enduring trust.

Color temperature can be adjusted in accordance with specific requirements. Even the light field geometry can be adapted to the surgical field. And all of this without any color shadows cast in the surgical field because the light is mixed right at the light source. All this makes the operating lights from KLS Martin truly unique: marLED®, the light of the 2nd LED generation. FUTURE-ORIENTED: Technology and Ergonomics 2 < > 3 Outstanding in Form and Function With marLED®, KLS Martin treads new paths in surgical field illumination – now offering an innovative LED line in addition to the marLUX® halogen and gas discharge series of operating lights. New paths? Yes. Although it is true that LED-based operating lights have been around for some time, marLED® is new because it exclusively uses LED chips of the second generation: smaller and more compact, with superior light yield yet lower power consumption. marLED®’s advantages, however, are by no means limited to design and lighting technology. In fact, this novel operating light is based on a radically new optical and housing concept. Its trail-blazing design harmoniously com- bines ergonomics and technology, bringing an optimal working atmosphere to any state-of-the-art operating room. And despite being a newcomer to the market, marLED® has already won internationally renowned design awards on the merits of its outstanding form.
