Jeffrey Tarr: DigitalGlobe Achieved Double-Digit Growth in Q1


DigitalGlobeDigitalGlobe (NYSE: DGI) gained $156.5 million in revenue during the first quarter of its 2014 fiscal year ending March 31, representing a 23-percent year-over-year increase.

Jeffrey Tarr, CEO of DigitalGlobe, said Thursday the company generated double-digit revenue growth in part due to expansion in its U.S. and government businesses worldwide, as well as integration programs.

DigitalGlobe’s first quarter revenue in its U.S. government business increased 26 percent from the prior year period to $97.6 million.
