“We're very pleased with the results of our fourth quarter and have begun to see signs of economic stabilization in our customer base,” Croatti said. “However, the overall employment condition remains weak and will continue to challenge our top line performance. As always, our top priority is providing first class service to our diverse customer base. In this environment, continuing to optimize the efficiency of our sales force as well as controlling costs will also be essential to achieving our short term and long term financial goals.”
