“We’ve become a very large player in the space over the last 12 months, increasing our size, and we anticipate that $1.1 billion of additional acquisitions this year will bring us some significant earnings growth, as we put out in our earnings guidance, of about 16% between 2013 and 2014,” Schorsch said.
