The weak global economy adversely affected sales for Agfa HealthCare of Mortsel, Belgium, in 2009.
The company reported a 4% decline in full-year revenue to 1.18 billion euros ($1.58 billion U.S.) in 2009, compared with 1.22 billion euros ($1.63 billion U.S.) in 2008.
Agfa HealthCare also posted revenue of 316 million euros ($423.4 million U.S.) in the fourth quarter of 2009, a decrease of 3% compared with 325 million euros ($435.5 million U.S.) in the fourth quarter of 2008.
In its year-end report, Agfa cautioned that it "anticipates a weaker topline performance in the first quarter of 2010. However, the business group expects that the results in 2010 as a whole will be in line" with 2009.
