“Our net booking of $320m was particularly satisfying, resulting in a strong book to bill of 1.4, and the growth in our backlog to $1.9bn.
“However, we are not expecting revenue growth to respond quickly to these awards, and as a result we now anticipate that the outcome for 2010 will be at the lower end of the guidance range given in February”.
