ALL EYES ON BILLABONG’S HALF YEAR RESULTS

All eyes were on Billabong's Half Year performance  and CEO and CFO presentations today as they will paint a clearer picture  for shareholder approval of the Scheme of Arrangement and Boardriders Inc bid for Billabong. We've broken out APAC results and keynotes from CEO Neil Fiske's and CFO presentations below.  Commenting on recent sales and mergers, (presumably the sale of Red Herring to Wilson Retail), Fiske observed "The fact that a number of industry participants are currently undergoing a sales process is yet another indication of the tremendous disruption that we are witnessing. These changes are systemic, structural and set to continue.”
