Northern Exposure

PI: As a publicly held, international company, do you foresee Transcontinental growing more through acquisitions vs. organic growth?

DESJARDINS: Transcontinental’s “Evolution 2010” business project guides the company’s development. In it, we have set two growth targets—to grow sales organically by 5 percent on average per year; and to grow adjusted earnings per share, excluding the foreign exchange impact, by 10 percent on average per year. So, we plan to grow in both ways, depending on the niche and what opportunities are available.
