Dear Colleagues:

As you know, September 30th was the end of the USG’s fiscal year and also the halfway point in Abt Associates’ fiscal year (FY15), which ends in March.  I thought this was a good time to update all of you on how we are doing against our company’s strategic plan.  I am pleased to report that we are very close to meeting our FY15 sales goal, having generated $564.8M in gross sales credit as of the end of September, which is 92.5% of our targeted goal of $610.6M.  This progress is particularly important given an increasingly competitive and uncertain marketplace. The attached overview of our FY15 mid-year awards has been prepared by the GBDU with our Divisions and Subsidiaries – Abt SRBI and Abt JTA -– and highlights key sales statistics and awards and how they support our five-year strategy – with a focus on three key corporate objectives:

·         Actively managing our market portfolio,

·         Diversifying the client base, and

·         Leveraging company cross-cutting capabilities.

Thank you for your strong contributions in allowing Abt to perform well against its strategic plan. Thank you most of all for your dedication to our mission: improving the economic well-being and lives of people worldwide.

Best,

Jay
