For the fourth quarter, revenues grew 16% to $425.1 million compared to $367.9 million in the prior year. Normalized diluted earnings per share from continuing operations grew 35% to $0.58 compared to $0.43 in the prior year quarter.
These results include the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates during the quarter and year. On a constant currency basis (See Schedule 7), revenue and normalized diluted earnings per share from continuing operations grew 12% and 21%, respectively for the quarter and 11% and 16%, respectively for the full year.
On a GAAP basis, the company reported full year diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $2.52 compared to $2.10 in the prior year, and for the fourth quarter GAAP basis, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.56 compared to $0.43 in the prior year quarter. The fourth quarter and full year results include a one-time, pretax termination benefit of $2.6 million (See Schedule 4 for reconciliation details).
Chairman and CEO, Paul R. Garcia, stated, "Despite a challenging macroeconomic environment, I am pleased with our strong execution in all of our regions this past year. We delivered solid results for the quarter which demonstrates steady growth in our U.S. businesses and continued successful execution in our international businesses.
"Based on our current outlook, we are providing fiscal 2011 annual revenue expectations of $1,735 million to $1,770 million, or 6% to 8% growth over fiscal 2010, and fiscal 2011 annual diluted EPS expectations of $2.68 to $2.77, reflecting 6% to 9% growth over fiscal 2010 normalized EPS from continuing operations. On a constant currency basis, we expect fiscal 2011 annual revenue growth of 7% to 9% and annual diluted earnings per share growth of 7% to 10% growth over fiscal 2010," said Garcia.
Fiscal 2011 diluted earnings per share expectations exclude an estimated $14 million or $0.12 of start-up expenses relating to a new Global Service Center in Manila, Philippines which will support customer and operational functions.

We supplemented our reporting of income from continuing operations
and earnings per share information determined in accordance with
GAAP by reporting income from continuing operations and earnings per
share for fiscal 2010 on a "normalized" basis in this earnings
release as a measure to help evaluate performance. We calculated
income from continuing operations and earnings per share on a
normalized basis by excluding non-recurring charges related to
termination benefits. We exclude the impact of non-recurring
charges in order to more clearly focus on the factors we believe are
pertinent to the daily management of our operations. Our income
from continuing operations and earnings per share reported on a
normalized basis should be considered in addition to, and not as a
substitute for, income from continuing operations and earnings per
share determined in accordance with GAAP. Our measures of income
from continuing operations and earnings per share on a normalized
basis reflect management's judgment of particular items, and may not
be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other
companies.
(1) Termination benefits represent amounts due to our former
President and Chief Operating Officer pursuant to his termination
agreement dated April 21, 2010. Also reflects the related income
tax benefit.

We supplemented our reporting of total revenues and earnings per
share information determined in accordance with GAAP by reporting
revenues and earnings per share for fiscal 2010 on a "constant
currency" basis in this earnings release as a measure to help
evaluate performance. We calculated revenues and earnings per share
on a constant currency basis by converting our fiscal 2010 actual
revenues and expenses at fiscal 2009 exchange rates. We exclude the
impact of exchange rate fluctuations in order to more clearly focus
on the factors we believe are pertinent to the daily management of
our operations, and our management uses constant currency measures
to evaluate the impact of operational business decisions. Our
revenues and earnings per share reported on a constant currency
basis should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute
for, revenues and earnings per share determined in accordance with
GAAP. Our measures of revenues and earnings per share on a constant
currency basis reflect management's judgment of particular items,
and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by
other companies.
(1) Reflects current period results on a pro forma basis as if
foreign currency rates did not change from the comparable prior year
period.
(2) Reflects the impact of changes in foreign currency rates from the
comparable prior year period.
(3) Termination benefits represent amounts due to our former
President and Chief Operating Officer pursuant to his termination
agreement dated April 21, 2010. Also reflects the related income
tax benefit.
