Management Comments:
"We overcame some obstacles, including the much stronger U.S. dollar, but still managed to report results at the lower end of the range of the company's outlook for the quarter, while also executing operational achievements that will benefit future quarters. The credit and foreign exchange markets certainly developed hurdles to overcome and our U.S. SAP Practice underperformed severely in the quarter," said Mac Slingerlend, CIBER's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Realigning our U.S. SAP Practice and creating our Global SAP Practice in September were among the achievements of the quarter. Closing the announced and pending Indian acquisition will be helpful to our future. Iteamic Private Limited is strategic to our global business model and we will be very pleased when they have joined CIBER. We achieved our outlook for the quarter despite further increases to our reserves, which were partially offset by a more favorable tax rate. We are encouraged to close the year solidly and further our market traction in 2009."
