1) Revenue in DKK for <strong>2010</strong> as a percentage of consolidated revenue<br />
accounted for 1.3%. The growth was primarily attributable to<br />
an increase in the level of activity in the Emergency business in<br />
Slovakia, Romania and Spain, whereas lower activity was seen<br />
in the Emergency and Training business in the Netherlands in<br />
<strong>2010</strong>.<br />
EBITA was DKK 121 million (2009: DKK 156 million), equivalent<br />
to an EBITA margin of 11.1% (2009: 15.0%). The fall in EBITA and<br />
the EBITA margin was due to lower earnings in Slovakia and the<br />
Netherlands as compared with 2009.<br />
Rest of the world<br />
Revenue in the rest of the world was DKK 447 million (2009:<br />
DKK 328 million), equivalent to a growth rate of 36.5%, which<br />
was primarily attributable to the Training activities in Brazil and<br />
Nigeria and the acquisition of the ambulance service provider<br />
Toesa in October <strong>2010</strong>. Conversely, the training activities in<br />
the United States experienced falling revenue due to the oil<br />
spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. The organic growth rate was<br />
12.0%.<br />
EBITA was DKK 68 million (2009: DKK 76 million). The 10.5%<br />
decline in earnings was due to the fall in revenue from the training<br />
activities in the United States and costs of building up the<br />
training centre in the United Arab Emirates. The EBITA margin<br />
showed a corresponding decline to 15.2% from 23.2% in 2009.
