Four stock value drivers

ARC has transformed to new and growing business with a bigger addressable market, and a better value proposition for the future

Management team of experienced, entrepreneurial industry veterans sensitive to future needs

Better growth, margins and cash potential in the future

Stock is undervalued given we are at the beginning of a non-res recovery cycle, and there is a lack of awareness of ARC’s transformation

2014 performance is clear evidence of the ARC’s direction and performance capabilities
