Our business model and strategy continue to weather the economic turmoil and withstand the test of time. Our combined global revenues were US$24.4 billion for the financial year ended 30 June 2012, compared with US$22.9 billion in 2011. Revenues grew 7.6% in local currency (6.7% in US dollars).

All of our service lines showed growth. Assurance revenues were up 4.1%, Tax 7.0%, Transactions 9.4% and Advisory 16.2%, a good performance given the current business climate. Growth in all of our service lines was almost entirely organic, with acquisitions accounting for less than one half of one percentage point. These are our best results since 2008, in the midst of what have been several years of uncertainty.

Our strongest-performing sectors, all with double-digit growth, were automotive, life sciences, mining and metals, and oil and gas.

As a result of the improvement in our business, we’ve grown our headcount to 167,000, an increase of more than 15,000 people in fiscal 2012. We know that if we attract and retain the best people – and invest in them – we will deliver the best results for our clients. And, while we still have much to do in terms of diversity and inclusiveness, we are making steady improvement. Globally 25% of our new partners this year are women, up from 23% last year and 20% in 2010.

Our success in the emerging markets is largely the result of a strategic investment program started six years ago. Since the inception of this program, we have invested more than US$1.8 billion in our geographies, the majority of which has been earmarked for the emerging markets. The results of this have been clearly visible in 2012, as Brazil saw organic revenue growth of 17.5%, while India, Africa, China and the CIS increased revenues 19.8%, 10.2%, 11.8% and 15.6%, respectively.
