The OIBDA growth was due to a substantial revenue growth in the software development segment and cost reduction efforts. - OIBDA margin reached 7.3%, compared with 4.0% in 2008 financial year. - Net debt fell to $25.6 million as of March 31, 2010, a 41% decrease from March 31, 2009. The reduction of net debt was due to a substantial positive operating cash flow. - IBS IT Services (the IT Services segment) demonstrated improved profitability compared with 2008 due to its cost control efforts, while the services component of the segment's revenue remained almost unchanged compared with 2008 in rouble terms. In 2009 IBS IT Services was again named Russia's top consulting company by 'Expert' Rating Agency. - Luxoft (the Software Development segment) demonstrated strong 25% revenue growth and substantially higher profitability. In 2009 Luxoft has been named the top software development outsourcing service provider in Central and Eastern Europe by the Black Book of Outsourcing survey. The company was also named as one of the world's top 100 outsourcing companies for the fourth consecutive year in 'Global Outsourcing 100' rating by International Association of Outsourcing Professionals (IAOP). - The Group successfully restructured its business by divesting Depo Computers, its manufacturing business, in the form of management buy-out in September 2009. - In 2009 the headcount of the Group exceeded 6,000 employees, which gives IBS Group the largest pool of software designers and engineers in Russia and the CIS.
