Barco s 2017 annual report is out Kortrijk, Belgium, 8 February 2018 - Barco's 2017 annual report is now available online. The company reflects on the 2017 results, with a 20%+ growth, showing tangible progress on its focus to perform' initiatives. Themed Say. Do., the report also shares the companys ambition to enable brighter outcomes by narrowing the say-do gap. How? By turning PowerPoint plans into executed proof points.

The consistent results for 2017 confirm the effectiveness of Barco's go-to-market: a +20% EBITDA increase and an EBITDA margin growth of 1.9 percentage points on flat organic sales. At the same time, recent innovations helped to remain competitive and stay ahead of the pack, while delivering healthy returns on the shareholders' investments.

2017 also marks the introduction of a new strategy with a fresh focus on enabling brighter outcomes for every stakeholder. An ambitious goal, that can only be achieved by a strong say-do mentality. With people doing what they say' and saying what they do' at the core of the company's activities, unsurprisingly, Say.Do' has become the leitmotif of Barcos latest company report.

One of the key vectors in our revamped strategy is a focus on performance. As we advanced into 2017, we saw the first positive results of this quest: Barco is becoming a more effective, leaner, more agile company. To ensure that we achieve our objectives, we continuously strive to narrow the say do' gap, turning PowerPoint plans into executed proof points. Jan De Witte, CEO
