Introduction

The following document articulates our rolling five year strategy for FY13 - FY17. With a year of
implementation behind us since our major course change, this plan benefits from some significant
evolution and improved specificity. That being said, you will see that our FY13-17 corporate strategy is
very consistent with the direction we set in the FY12-16 version. The net impact of the improvements
and the consistency is that we believe our corporate strategy is the most compelling one to date—and
we are very excited about what we are going to create together in the next five years.

As we said last year, this roadmap is a “living” strategy, evolving and adapting every year in function of
2
the changes around us and the perspective gained from each year of progress. While our broad strategic
direction is intended to last for multiple years, we will continue to pursue an annual cadence of revisiting
and refining our five year rolling strategy, allowing for changes every year, and larger course corrections
when required. We will also maintain the practice of communicating the revised version of our strategy
to the organization annually.

Please note that as of the writing of this document the final budgets had not been set for FY13, and we
have not yet finalized our five year model. As such, the financial numbers presented here should be seen
as directional, not precise.

order to attain that potential, we must invest in
constantly improving our performance and our
