We continue to be pleased with the momentum of our business, especially the revenue growth we achieved across all of our end-user markets.”

“While we fell short of our fourth quarter margin goals, which were largely impacted by timing, we expect to increase operating leverage in fiscal 2013,” Vahaviolos added. “The fundamentals of our business are strong and I am confident in our prospects going forward and believe we will continue to deliver solid results and double digit growth in revenue and profitability. We are very pleased with our cash flow and liquidity, which can help facilitate accretive investments and acquisitions in fiscal 2013.”
