Broad-based growth with revenue crossing billion-dollar mark

The land transport giant said growth was broad-based, with all business segments contributing to the increase. The actual revenue growth of $97.5 million was boosted by a positive foreign currency translation of $10.4 million due to the stronger pound sterling.
