The creative pursuit of growth is a fundamental part of our DNA at Equifax.
It stems from the people, products, and processes that make up this
company. And, it’s not just what we do, but how we do it.
For the past several years, highly structured
innovation and growth initiatives have been
star contributors to our long-term growth. Our
2015 new product innovation (NPI) pipeline
is expected to deliver third-year revenues at
levels more than double our 2014 pipeline.
In addition to NPI, our enterprise growth
initiatives (EGI), which ensure we develop
effective execution plans for larger, more
complex projects, historically contribute
an additional one to two points of annual
revenue growth.
As we continue the journey to transform
Equifax into an information solutions and insights
company, technology is at the core of everything
we do. We are investing in the right foundation to
enable new capabilities to adapt to the changing
market needs and provide solutions that deliver
insights to our customers faster than ever. We
have a clear vision and platform strategy to
ensure we invest in the right things including
our people, processes and technologies. And,
we actively seek to share solutions between our
businesses across the globe.
We go into 2016 optimistic about the future. We have transformed the company
and our culture, as well as our growth curve. We have the data, analytics,
technology, talent, processes, and perhaps most important, the drive to succeed.
Even with the great success we experienced in
2015, we aspire to do more. The Equifax team
wakes up hungry every day, fervently looking
for new ways to innovate and grow. We focus
intently on anticipating challenges to help ensure
our opportunities far outweigh any risks.
The years ahead hold significant promise for
Equifax — and we are in an ideal place to take
advantage of those opportunities. I look forward
with tremendous excitement and anticipation as
we work together to bring the company to even
greater heights.
Sincerely,
Richard F. Smith
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
THE CREATIVE PURSUIT OF GROWTH
FOCUSED ON AN EXCITING FUTURE
