PORTFOLIO MIX
Ferro is well on the way to achieving a mix of businesses that gives the Company a higher growth profile. Since announcing a strategy to reshape the Company late in 1999, we have succeeded in steadily increasing the percentage of high-growth businesses. The Company's goal is for each business category to represent approximately one-third of total revenues.

Springboard businesses represent the greatest opportunity for growth and long-term profit potential.
Platform businesses generate more modest growth.
Foundation businesses are in the maturity stage of the product life cycle.
