It has become a rewarding tradition to bring you news each year about activities, initiatives and projects that go beyond our normal daily operations. At the core of these activities lie people – our staff, partners, and friends, our customers and the many others who come into contact with BAUER on a daily basis. Last year, we gave our Sustainability Report a new title: “Our Company in the Community”. I've often been bothered by calling it simply a “Sustainability Report” – I believe that says too little. The term “sustainability” has also become so overused in today's society that it's starting to lose meaning. Everything and everyone either wants to or must be sustainable today. In many industries, public pressure also plays an enormous role. With the new title, we have tried to express what for us, as for me personally, is most important: namely, how our company should present itself and act in society – as part of the community, as a place of employment and social interaction for the many people who work for us, as a reliable partner for our customers and as a promoter of volunteerism and initiatives. I hope that, with this new title, we will be able to express our basic principles a little bit better. Without a doubt, financial success plays key role for our company and its position in society. When I look back at the last year, I see that we were not successful in meeting this goal. For the first time in 14 years we had to report a loss. This was caused by numerous problems and adversities in our well construction project in Jordan in our Resources segment, which resulted in a major loss. We were also forced to deal with weak mining markets and a low demand for well construction materials. In the Construction segment, we experienced delays with some of our large contracts, which led to a loss in our dam project in the US. Despite higher sales, the Equipment segment fell short of its net earnings compared to the previous year. Even with total Group revenues of EUR 1.5 billion, we ended the year with a EUR 19.4 million loss on the books. Of course, I am not happy with these results. Many of our recent problems and setbacks can certainly be attributed to extraordinary items or special projects. Additionally, the widespread political unrest in many parts of the world, especially in hot spots in the Middle East, such as Egypt, Syria, Libya and Iraq. There is also the current crisis in Ukraine. With the world in such turmoil, as an international company we have to struggle with a great deal of volatility and unsteadiness. We don't want to be content with the current situation. That's why, over the last several years, we have begun tackling many new issues and made enormous efforts to better ourselves. We continue to work on improving the quality and efficiency of our existing equipment series. By expanding our service network, we are able to provide excellent service quality and spare parts supply to our customers worldwide. With our underwater drilling systems and related processes, we are optimally equipped to act once the market revives. We continue to work on making our deep drilling rigs more automated and safer. We haven't gotten as far in this area as we would like, but we have gained very important opportunities.
