As previously announced, BTS completed the acquisition during the period of all the businesses in the Danish company Wizerize A/S. The acquisition creates new opportunities to offer digital-enabled solutions that are built on social and mobile platforms of the future, complementing our current range of products and services very well.

New clients secured during the first nine months included

Airbus, Banco Santander, Bankia, Belk Inc, Cepsa, DBS Bank, Genworth, Hempel, Hoerbiger, ITM Brazil, Novartis, TE Connectivity and Telefonica Mexico.

Outlook 2013

Considering that it takes more time to turn the trend in North America, profit before tax for the full-year 2013 is expected to be lower than the preceding year, which differs from the previous report when profit before tax was expected to be in line with the preceding year.
