We remain committed to being an annuity-based firm that, in normal markets, will deliver an operating profit that will allow us to reward our shareholders through a sustainable dividend, to continue to organically grow the company's revenues, and to maintain a cash position that will underpin the firm. We look forward to continued profitability as the year unfolds."
Wallace continued: "Moving forward, we are focussing on recruitment in the coming year, as we look to grow the firm by adding breadth and depth to further strengthen our team in certain industries and geographies, further enhancing our capabilities to serve our clients on a global basis."
