“The Wizard of Oz”, the classic tale of finding strength
that lies within, epitomizes Equifax at this juncture in our history.
As they traveled the Yellow Brick Road in search of their goals,
Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion learned
through experience. And when they finally reached their destination,
the Wizard showed them that everything they wanted – intellect,
heart and courage – already lay within themselves. Equifax has been
on its own Yellow Brick Road for 106 years and we have learned in
no uncertain terms that the resources, capabilities and strength we
need to go another century are within us as well.
My sincere gratitude to our shareholders, our customers and our
employees for making the journey with us.
