Patience was at the heart of our efforts during the economic slowdown
of 2001, as we applied time-tested management methods to reduce
costs, manage cash and maintain market share.
Through our determined efforts, we held market share in our U.S.
consumer film business and managed to grow film share slightly
worldwide. We led the market in high-speed production document
scanners and in dry laser imagers for health imaging, and continued to
hold the leading position as a supplier to the motion picture industry.
In the digital realm, we’re among the top three marketers of digital
cameras in the U.S., and the largest supplier of digital photo kiosks
in the world. Our Qualex wholesale labs scan more consumer snapshots
than any other company. And we’re the market leader in online photo
services and other forms of digital output like picture CD.
Our ability to gain or grow market share, while simultaneously reducing
costs in the face of a tough economy, builds a solid foundation for the
economic upturn that will eventually come.
Being patient isn’t easy. It takes maturity and self-
control. It means maintaining your cool even when the
tune is off-key. Because you know with time and effort,
the rewards can be great.
