. This was mainly the result of a substantial improvement in the operational margin, which increased from 6.9% to 7.4%. Acquisitions also contributed to the rise in operating income.

Fourth quarter

The 5% growth in gross revenues in the 2002 fourth quarter is the result of a positive contribution from acquisitions of 10% (mainly FCI), offset by a negative currency-effect of 5%. Organic growth was negatively impacted by the decline in contracting activities in the Netherlands due to soft conditions in this market and the steps the Company has taken to focus on higher margin segments. Excluding contracting, organic growth amounted to 2%, particularly due to growth in other European countries, Brazil Brazil (brəzĭl`), Port.

Full year results

Gross revenues for full year 2002 rose by 3%. Of this growth, 4% was generated by acquisitions, offset by a negative currency exchange effect of 3%. Organic growth amounted to 2% and was negatively impacted by the decline in 2001 in property valuation activities and the decline in contracting activities, both in the Netherlands. Excluding these factors, organic growth amounted to 4%, with the Company's activities in Belgium Belgium (bĕl`jəm), Du. België, Fr.

 of revenues in 2002. The contribution of revenues from North and South America declined to 36% (2001: 39%). Another 36% of revenues were generated in the Netherlands (2001: 38%). The largest increase was in other European countries, which represented 22% of revenues (2001: 18%), while 6% of revenues came from other countries (2001: 5%).

Infrastructure

With 11% growth, this was the most important growth segment for ARCADIS in 2002. The share of this segment in total revenues increased to 51% (2001: 47%). Growth was aided by the acquisition of FCI.

The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area. , the investment budgets of the individual states came under pressure, which resulted in a slight organic decline in the fourth quarter.

Environment

This segment generated 28% of revenues in 2002 (2001: 29%). Revenues decreased by 1% as a result of exchange rate declines and divestments. Excluding these effects, growth amounted to 5%. This also includes the environmental activities which were added through the acquisition of FCI, which brought the Company a solid position in the French environmental market. Organic growth amounted to 2% and was predominantly generated in the United States, where application of cost effective remediation technologies and our GRIP(TM) program developed by ARCADIS led to an increase in market share. In addition, the assignments won in early 2002 from the federal government, for the clean-up clean-up nnettoyage m

This was predominantly caused by the declines in private sector investments which began in the United States in 2001. In the fourth quarter improved activity levels could be seen in this market, as a result of a number of large assignments which were won in the automotive market.

 has forced companies and governments to reduce investments. In addition, the Dutch market sees sluggish assignment patterns among governmental clients. In the infrastructure market, long-term contracts and large projects provide a firm basis for revenues. Although the large rail infrastructure projects have peaked, additional investments in the upgrading of existing rail infrastructure provide new opportunities for which ARCADIS is particularly well qualified. The good position ARCADIS has in the American American, river, 30 mi (48 km) long, rising in N central Calif. in the Sierra Nevada and flowing SW into the Sacramento River at Sacramento.

Recovery in the telecom market is not expected to occur this year, so attention remains focussed on niche projects. A new round of property valuations which has commenced in the Netherlands and demand for geographical information systems are expected to positively influence revenues in the communications segment.

 are increased by approximately EUR 6 million. Given the fact that ARCADIS is not unique in this respect, these additional costs will become a component of the billing rates, in so far as this is commercially viable. In addition, earlier concentrations in our Dutch operations, will lead to additional cost savings.

Chairman Harrie L.J. Noy commented: "The long term developments in the markets relevant to ARCADIS offer many opportunities for growth. As a result of our strong positions in important countries in Europe Europe (yr`əp), 6th largest continent, c.4,000,000 sq mi (10,360,000 sq km) including adjacent islands (1992 est. pop. 512,000,000).  and North and South America, ARCADIS is in a good position to benefit from these conditions. In the short term, economic and political developments will exert pressure on organic growth. By providing more attention to demand from existing clients and well directed initiatives, existing opportunities for growth, such as facility management, will be pursued. In addition, productivity improvements and cost reductions will ensure that margins remain level or improve further. The negative currency exchange rate effect, which is expected to continue in the first half, is not expected to be fully compensated compensated /com·pen·sat·ed/ (kom´pen-sa?tid) counterbalanced; offset.  for by growing revenues from acquisitions completed in 2002. Further expansion of activities by way of well-selected acquisitions will continue to be a priority in 2003. In line with our strategy, all these actions are directed at achieving growth in revenues and profit, but in view of the insecurities mentioned, it is not possible at this point to give specific guidance with regard to the 2003 results."
