SOURCE Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation

– Fourth quarter revenue of $110.3 million was down 13.1% sequentially and down 22.8% year-over-year (YoY) due mainly to severe supply shortages especially for 28nm 12″ OLED wafers; Full-year revenue of $474.2 million decreased 6.5% YoY due primarily to a revenue decrease in our OLED business due to wafer supply shortages, offset in part by strong growth in our Power business.
– GAAP gross profit margin for the fourth quarter was 35.0%, down 170 bps sequentially and up 810 bps YoY; Full-year GAAP gross profit margin of 32.4% was an increase of 710 bps YoY due mainly to improved product mix, increased average selling price, and a higher utilization rate.
– GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the fourth quarter was $1.12; Full-year GAAP diluted EPS was $1.21.
– Non-GAAP diluted EPS for the fourth quarter was $0.31; Full-year non-GAAP diluted EPS was $1.09.
 

SEOUL, South Korea, Feb. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE: MX) (“Magnachip” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2021.Commenting on the results for the fourth quarter of 2021, YJ Kim, Magnachip’s chief executive officer stated, “For the fourth quarter, the demand and signals from our customers remained strong across the board. However, severe supply constraints continued to significantly limit our OLED revenue potential, which was partially offset by strong Power business. We reported $110.3 million in revenue and 31 cents in non-GAAP diluted EPS for the fourth quarter.”

Commenting on the full-year, YJ stated, “While our 2021 revenue was negatively impacted by continuing supply shortages, especially for 28nm 12″ OLED wafers, we delivered higher profitability in all of our key measures in 2021 compared to 2020. In addition, our team at Magnachip achieved critical milestones to fuel future growth; we broadened our customer base, further penetrated new applications, and enhanced our supply chain for additional manufacturing capacity, which is expected to come online in the later part of 2022. While our near-term outlook is still being challenged by persisting supply constraints, these developments reinforce our confidence and optimism about our long-term growth.”

(1)Following the consummation of the sale of the Foundry Services Group business and Fab 4 in Q3 2020, and for a period of up to three years, we will provide transitional foundry services to the buyer for foundry products manufactured in our fabrication facility located in Gumi (“Transitional Fab 3 Foundry Services”). Management believes that disclosing revenue of Transitional Fab 3 Foundry Services separately from the standard products business allows investors to better understand the results of our core standard products display solutions and power solutions businesses.

(2)For the year ended December 31, 2021, operating income of $83.4 million included net gain of $35.5 million that represented $70.2 million income from the recognition of a reverse termination fee, net of professional service fees and expenses of $34.7 million incurred in connection with the contemplated merger transaction.

(3)For the year ended December 31,2020, net income of $345.0 million included income from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $287.9 million, primarily attributable to the recognition of $287.1 million as gain on sale of the Foundry Services Group business and Fab 4. It also included income tax benefits of $46.2 million, mainly attributable to the recognition of differences between GAAP and cash tax expense of $43.9 million.

(4)Non-GAAP financial measures are calculated based on the results from continuing operations. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed in conjunction with GAAP results, can provide a meaningful understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business and operations and assist in evaluating our core operating performance. However, such non-GAAP financial measures have limitations and should not be considered as a substitute for net income from continuing operations or as a better indicator of our operating performance than measures that are presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of GAAP results to non-GAAP results is included in this press release.

Q1 2022 Financial Guidance
Our near-term outlook is still being challenged by persisting supply constraints especially for 28nm 12″ wafers.  While actual results may vary, looking into the next quarter, which typically presents seasonal softness, Magnachip anticipates Q1 2022 to be the bottom and currently expects:

  • Revenue to be in the range of $102 million to $108 million, including about $9 million of the Transitional Fab 3 Foundry Services.
  • Gross profit margin to be in the range of 34.5% to 36.5%

Q4 2021 Earnings Conference Call
Magnachip will host a conference call at 5 p.m. Eastern Time on February 16, 2022. The conference call will be webcast live and also is available by dialing toll-free at 1-844-536-5472.

국내 연구개발 강화 및 생산 역량 확대에 5천억 투자 포함 약 2조원의 경제유발효과 예상

  • 2021년부터 2025년까지 한국 R&D 센터 기술 개발 및 연구 인력 확충 등에 약 3,400억원
  • 수요 높은 전력 반도체 생산 기지인 구미 생산시설에 지난해 380억 투자를 포함하여 총 1,310억 투자

 

대한민국 서울, 2021년 5월 20일 — 매그나칩반도체(이하, 매그나칩, 뉴욕증시 상장코드 NYSE: MX)는 글로벌 시장에서 입지를 강화하기 위해서 오는 2025년까지 향후 5년 간 서울, 청주 등 한국 R&D센터와 구미 생산시설에 과감한 선제적 투자를 단행할 계획이라고 밝혔다.

R&D 센터와 생산시설이 위치한 한국에 약 2조원을 투자하는 ‘미래 성장 5개년 투자 계획’을 통해 기술 개발 역량을 한층 더 강화하고, 구미 공장의 전력 반도체 제품 생산 능력을 향상시킬 예정이다. 이를 통해 중장기적으로 높은 성장 잠재력을 가지고 있는 아시아의 신흥국 시장과 유럽 및 북미 등의 선진국 시장까지 확대해 나갈 예정이다. 또한, 이번 투자는 지역 경제 활성화에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

매그나칩은 서울, 청주 등 한국의 R&D 센터에 약 3천4백억원을 투입해 기술 및 제품 리더십을 강화시켜 나갈 계획이다.  또한, 지역 대학들과 연계해 연구 인력 확충에도 매진할 예정이다. 매그나칩은 충북대학교와 함께 지역 인재 발굴, 양성 및 채용에 협력하기도 했다. 향후에도 매년 1억원 수준의 장학금 지원을 통해 우수 인재 발굴과 육성을 지속할 계획이다.

또한, 최근 전세계적으로 높은 관심을 받고 있는 전력 반도체 제품을 생산하는 구미 생산시설에 지난해 380억원을 투자해 시설을 확충한 데 이어, 향후 5년 간 약 930억원을 추가로 투자할 계획이다. 2015년에 전기자동차에 들어가는 전력 반도체에 투자를 시작해, 개발을 완료하고 1만 시간 테스트를 진행해 왔던 매그나칩은 7년간의 노력으로 전기자동차용 전력 반도체의 상용화를 눈 앞에 두고 있다. 이 외에도 구미 공장은 스마트폰 전력 효율을 높이는 배터리 FET(Field Effect Transistor)를 비롯해 소비자 가전, 통신, 산업용 제품에 사용되는 Super-junction MOSFET, IGBT 등의 프리미엄 제품도 생산하고 있다. 전력 반도체 분야에서 긍정적 시장 수요가 지속될 경우 향후 5년 간 투자 금액을 1,100억원 이상으로 확대하는 방안도 검토 중이다.

이번 투자 결정에는 R&D센터와 구미 생산시설에 대한 투자 외에도 국내 임직원들에 대한 급여와 복리후생 등 일상적 경영 활동을 위한 투자도 포함되어 있다.

뉴욕증시에 상장되어 있는 매그나칩 주식을 주당 29 달러에 유한책임출자자(LP)들과 함께 매입하기로 한 글로벌 사모펀드인 와이즈로드캐피털은 지금까지 싱가포르, 네덜란드, 스위스 등에 본사와 생산시설을 둔 ICT 기업들에 장기적인 관점으로 투자해 왔다. 투자 이후에 각 지역의 생산시설을 확충하고, R&D에 대한 투자를 늘릴 수 있도록 지원했다. 특히, 본사, 생산시설, R&D센터 등을 현지에서 기존대로 운영하도록 하고, 경영진과 직원의 고용을 보장하면서 경영에 간섭하지 않는 것을 원칙으로 하는 순수 재무적 투자자(a pure financial investor)로 역할 하면서 글로벌 기업으로 성장할 수 있도록 지원했다. *

와이즈로드캐피털의 매니징 파트너 마이클 장(Michael Zhang)은 “글로벌 사모펀드로서 와이즈로드캐피털은 글로벌 성장 가능성이 있고, 시장 중심적이고, 고객 중심적인 독립된 기업에 투자하고 있다. 글로벌 차원의 투자를 통해 각 지역의 업체들이 해당 지역에서 더 성장할 수 있도록 돕는 것이 우리의 성공 비결이다“라며 “이번에 발표한 미래 성장 목표와 투자 계획을 통해 매그나칩이 한국 내에서 생산능력과 R&D 역량을 강화할 수 있도록 지원할 수 있는 모든 것을 지원할 것이다. 이를 위해 와이즈로드캐피털은 매그나칩의 현재 경영진을 유지하고 임직원과 생산시설 그리고 지적재산권(IP) 등을 모두 한국에 그대로 유지할 것을 보장한다. 이번 미국 매그나칩 본사와의 주식 거래는 미국증권거래위원회에 제출한 공시자료(Proxy Statement)에서 언급했던 대로, 중국 외 지역(offshore)**에서 모으는 글로벌 펀드로 진행된다”라고 말했다.

매그나칩 임상택 노조 위원장은 “이번 발표가 노동조합이 지속적으로 요구하고 중시하는 임직원의 고용안정과 처우개선, 생산시설유지 및 투자확대, 구미지역 경제활성화에도 긍정적 요인이 될것으로 생각하며, 회사가 추진하는 성장전략과 글로벌 시장으로의 도약을 위해서 직원들에게 좋은 방향으로 협의해 나가겠다”라고 말했다.

매그나칩 김영준 대표는 “이번 미래 성장 5개년 투자 계획은 ‘매그나칩 3.0 성장 전략’ 및 노동조합과 임직원들의 니즈를 반영하여, 회사가 기존 고객에게 차별화된 경쟁력을 제공하고, 임직원들에게 보다 향상된 근무 환경과 기업문화를 제공할 것”이라며 “매그나칩은 업계를 선도하는 제품을 보다 많은 고객에게 선보일 수 있도록 적시에 투자하고, 급변하는 미래에 글로벌 기업으로 성장하는 새로운 도약의 기회로 삼겠다”라고 강조했다.

한편, OLED 패널 구동을 위한 디스플레이 구동칩 (DDIC)은 일반적인 기능을 담당하는 블록과 패널 특성의 핵심이 되는 고객 IP 블록으로 구성되며, 이러한 고객 IP 블록은 모두 패널 업체가 보유하고 있고, DDIC 업체에는 암호화된 블랙박스 형태로 제공되어 DDIC 업체에서는 원천적으로 정보 접근을 할 수가 없도록 해 보안을 유지하고 있다.

매그나칩반도체, 파운드리 사업 및 청주공장 매각 계약 체결
OLED 구동칩 및 전력반도체 중심의 반도체 제품 기업으로 거듭나

 

매그나칩반도체(대표:김영준, 뉴욕증시상장)는 국내 사모투자펀드운용사인 알케미스트캐피탈파트너스코리아와 크레디언파트너스가 설립한 특수목적회사(SPC)에 자사의 파운드리 사업과 청주공장(Fab 4)을 매각하는 계약을 3월 31일 체결했다고 밝혔다.

이번 거래는 현금 미화 약 3억4천4백7십만달러와 고용 승계 직원들의 퇴직충당금을 포함하여 총 기업 가치 미화 약 4억3천5백만달러에 거래 되었다. 파운드리 사업부 및 청주공장에서 근무하는 약 1,500명 임직원의 고용은 인수기업으로 승계되며, 거래 종료까지는 4~6개월 정도 소요될 예정이다. 알케미스트캐피탈파트너스코리아와 크레디언파트너스가 설립한 매그너스 사모투자합자회사(PEF)에는 새마을금고중앙회와 SK하이닉스가 각각 50%+1주, 49.8%를 출자했다.

매그나칩 김영준 대표이사는 “파운드리 사업과 청주공장에 대한 전략적 평가를 면밀히 실시한 결과, 매그나칩 이사회와 경영진은 회사 매출의 40%를 차지하는 파운드리 사업을 규모의 경제를 실현할 수 있는 기관에 매각하고, 나머지 60% 비중을 차지하며 약 5억달러 매출을 이루는 디스플레이 솔루션 사업과 전력 솔루션 사업에 집중하는 것이 최선의 선택이라고 판단했다”고 배경을 설명하고 “이번 발표는 직원, 고객, 주주를 포함해 양사의 최고의 선택이다. 두 회사 모두 역량을 강화하고, 미래 성장에 주력할 수 있게 되어 지속 성장의 발판을 마련했다”고 말했다.

새로운 매그나칩과 관련해 김 대표는 “디스플레이 솔루션 사업 가운데 OLED 사업과 전력 솔루션 사업의 매출은 최근 4년간 각각 260%, 111%의 높은 성장을 이뤘냈다”라며 “새로운 매그나칩은 향후 디스플레이 및 전력 솔루션 사업 육성, 구미 공장 생산능력 확대를 통해 높은 경쟁력을 갖춘 일류 제품 기업으로 한 단계 더 도약 발전해 나갈 것”이라고 밝혔다.

매그나칩은 패널 업체를 보유하지 않은 논캡티브(Non-Captive) 세계 1위의 OLED 디스플레이 구동칩 공급 업체이며, 세계 최대의 스마트폰 패널 제조사에 OLED 구동칩을 공급하고 있다. 매그나칩의 다양한 OLED 구동칩 제품군은 업계 최저 전력의 28나노 제품을 포함하고 있으며, 5G 스마트폰 모델에 공급된다. 스마트폰 OLED 디스플레이 시장은 향후 4년간 연평균 14% 성장이 전망되는 유망 시장이다. (출처: IHS Markit, Q3 2019)

또한, 매그나칩은 전력 솔루션 분야의 선도 기업으로, 스마트폰 배터리의 전력 효율성을 높이는 배터리 FET(Field Effect Transistor)을 비롯해, 소비자 가전, 통신, 산업용 제품 등에 쓰이는 Super-Junction MOSFET, IGBT, Power IC 등의 프리미엄 제품을 공급하고 있다. 파워 사업은 사물인터넷, 전기자동차를 포함, 신규 애플리케이션 수요 확대에 힘입어 시장 규모가 지속 성장하고 있으며, 특히 전기자동차용 IGBT칩 시장은 향후 4년간 연평균 18% 성장이 예상된다. (출처: IHS Markit, Q3 2019)

아울러, 구미에 위치한 8인치 공장(Fab 3)은 전력 제품 및 OLED가 아닌 디스플레이 제품의 생산을 위해 지속적으로 가동된다. 매그나칩은 구미공장의 월간 웨이퍼 생산 능력을 현재 약 3만장에서 향후 5만장 수준으로 확대할 예정이며, 향후 전력 솔루션 제품군을 전기자동차, 자율주행자동차 등 프리미엄 제품군으로 지속 확대해 나갈 계획이다. 파워 디스크리트(Discrete) 전력 제품은 구미공장에서 생산하고, OLED 디스플레이 제품과 파워IC 전력 제품은 팹리스로 운영해 생산 효율성을 높일 예정이다.

한편, 매그나칩의 이번 전략적 평가의 재무적인 자문은 JP모건에서 제공했으며, 법률자문은 폴와이즈(Paul Weiss)에서 제공했다. 매그나칩은 미국 동부 시간으로 3월 31일 오전 9시에 투자자들을 대상으로 웹캐스트를 진행할 예정이다. 1-844-536-5472 (미국 내 참가 전화번호), 1-614-999-9318(미국 외 지역의 참가 전화번호). 컨퍼런스 ID는 7994839이다.

SEOUL, South Korea and CUPERTINO, Calif., July 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation (“MagnaChip”) (NYSE: MX), a Korea-based designer and manufacturer of analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013.

Revenue for the second quarter of 2013 was $215.3 million, a 4.9% increase compared to $205.3 million for the first quarter of 2013 and a 6.2% increase compared to $202.6 million for the second quarter of 2012.

Gross margin was $71.0 million or 33.0%, as a percent of revenue, for the second quarter of 2013. This compares to gross margin of $65.7 million or 32.0% for the first quarter of 2013 and $62.9 million or 31.0% for the second quarter of 2012.

Net income, on a GAAP basis, for the second quarter of 2013 totaled $4.4 million or $0.12 per diluted share. This compares to a net loss of $7.4 million or $0.21 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2013 and a net income of $4.3 million or $0.12 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2012.

“We delivered solid results in the second quarter. Revenue of $215.3 million dollars was up 4.9% sequentially and up 6.2% year-over-year. Gross margin of 33.0% was up 100 basis points compared to last quarter and up 200 basis points compared to Q2 of last year,” said Sang Park, MagnaChip Chairman and CEO. “We’re excited that our effort to focus on fast growing markets with our expanding list of innovative partners has enabled us to deliver ten consecutive quarters of meeting or exceeding our financial guidance, in spite of the recent soft demand from high-end smartphone makers.”

Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measurement, for the second quarter of 2013 totaled $26.2 million or $0.71 per diluted share compared to $19.7 million or $0.53 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2013 and $17.9 million or $0.48 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2012.

Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed in conjunction with GAAP results, can provide a more meaningful understanding of the factors and trends affecting MagnaChip’s business and operations. However, such non-GAAP financial measures have limitations and should not be considered as a substitute for net income or as a better indicator of our operating performance than measures that are presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of GAAP results to non-GAAP results is included following the financial statements.

Combined cash balances (cash and cash equivalents plus restricted cash) totaled $192.6 million at the end of the second quarter of 2013, an increase of $9.6 million from the end of the prior quarter. Cash provided from operations totaled approximately $11.0 million for the second quarter of 2013.

Magnachip Reports First Quarter 2013 Financial Results

MagnaChip Reports First Quarter 2013 Financial Results

– Revenue Grew 16% Year-Over-Year
– Gross Margin Improved 380 Basis Points Year-Over-Year
– Foundry Business Revenue Increased 53% Year-Over-Year
– Ninth Consecutive Quarter of Achieving Financial Guidance

SEOUL, South Korea and CUPERTINO, Calif., April 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation (“MagnaChip”) (NYSE: MX), a Korea-based designer and manufacturer of analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Revenue for the first quarter of 2013 was $205.3 million, a 5.9% decrease compared to $218.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2012 and a 16.0% increase compared to $177.0 million for the first quarter of 2012.

Gross margin was $65.7 million or 32.0%, as a percent of revenue, for the first quarter of 2013. This compares to gross margin of $74.3 million or 34.1% for the fourth quarter of 2012 and $49.9 million or 28.2% for the first quarter of 2012.

Net loss, on a GAAP basis, for the first quarter of 2013 totaled $7.4 million or $0.21 per diluted share. This compares to net income of $125.3 million or $3.38 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2012 and a net income of $15.3 million or $0.40 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2012. Net loss was impacted primarily by a foreign currency loss of $22.6 million during the quarter which was primarily related to non-cash foreign currency translation for intercompany balances that were denominated in U.S. dollars.

“Our first quarter revenue and margin performance was better than the same quarter last year because of the product mix and customer shift we have been making which has enabled us to be better aligned with growing markets,” said Sang Park, MagnaChip Chairman and CEO. “The March quarter is typically a weak quarter due to seasonality and the post-holiday consumer spending slowdown. However, in addition to normal seasonality we also experienced lower than anticipated demand from the smartphone market. Despite these obstacles, we were able to achieve our financial guidance for the ninth consecutive quarter. Looking ahead, challenges still remain and visibility is somewhat limited. However, we remain optimistic that the macro environment is starting to improve and that our business will return to normal seasonal growth beginning in the second quarter.”

Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measurement, for the first quarter of 2013 totaled $19.7 million or $0.53 per diluted share compared to $28.7 million or $0.77 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2012 and $6.5 million or $0.17 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2012.

Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed in conjunction with GAAP results, can provide a more meaningful understanding of the factors and trends affecting MagnaChip’s business and operations. However, such non-GAAP financial measures have limitations and should not be considered as a substitute for net income or as a better indicator of our operating performance than measures that are presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of GAAP results to non-GAAP results is included following the financial statements.

Combined cash balances (cash and cash equivalents plus restricted cash) totaled $183.0 million at the end of the first quarter of 2013, an increase of $0.7 million from the end of the prior quarter. Cash provided from operations totaled approximately $37.5 million for the first quarter of 2013.

– Revenue Increased 6.1% For the Full Year
– Gross Margin Increased 190 Basis Points For the Full Year
– Achieved 2012 GAAP EPS of $5.16 Per Diluted Share, Adjusted EPS of $2.23 Per Diluted Share

SEOUL, South Korea and CUPERTINO, Calif., Jan. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation (“MagnaChip”) (NYSE: MX), a Korea-based designer and manufacturer of analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products, today announced financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2012.

Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $218.1 million, a 1.7% decrease compared to $221.9 million for the third quarter of 2012, and a 20.6% increase compared to $180.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2011. For the full year 2012, revenue was $819.6 million compared to $772.8 million for 2011, a 6.1% increase.

Gross margin was $74.3 million or 34.1%, as a percent of revenue, for the fourth quarter of 2012. This compares to gross profit of $76.4 million or 34.5 % for the third quarter of 2012 and $51.5 million or 28.5% for the fourth quarter of 2011. For the full year 2012, gross profit was $263.5 million or 32.2% compared to $234.3 million or 30.3% for 2011.

Net income, on a GAAP basis, for the fourth quarter of 2012 totaled $125.3 million or $3.38 per diluted share. This compares to net income of $48.4 million or $1.30 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2012 and a net income of $23.7 million or $0.61 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2011. For the full year 2012, net income was $193.3 million or $5.16 per diluted share compared to $21.8 million or $0.55 per diluted share for 2011. Net income for 2012 was impacted primarily by a gross margin of $263.5 million compared to $234.3 million for 2011, recognition of deferred tax assets of $64.7 million in 2012, and a foreign currency gain of $56.0 million compared to a foreign currency loss of $11.6 million for 2011, which was primarily related to non-cash foreign currency translation for intercompany balances that were denominated in U.S. dollars.

“I am very pleased that we ended 2012 with revenue of $819.6 million dollars, up 6.1% from 2011 and outpacing the semiconductor industry, which declined 3.0% this year. While the macro environment remained weak, we have successfully aligned with the growing smartphone and tablet PC market, leveraged our strong relationships with blue chip customers, and delivered 30% more new products in 2012 from the previous year,” said Sang Park, MagnaChip Chairman and CEO. “I believe that this will help differentiate us from our competitors and allow us to perform better than the market in 2013. Compared to the same quarter last year, Q4 revenue and gross margin maintained better momentum due to a successful mix shift of products and customers and improved utilization from our mixed business model. Our revenue and margin performance this quarter represents our eighth consecutive quarter of meeting or exceeding guidance.”

Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measurement, for the fourth quarter of 2012 totaled $28.7 million or $0.77 per diluted share compared to $30.4 million or $0.81 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2012 and $10.0 million or $0.26 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2011. For the full year 2012, adjusted net income was $83.5 million or $2.23 per diluted share compared to $66.4 million or $1.67 per diluted share for 2011.

Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed in conjunction with GAAP results, can provide a more meaningful understanding of the factors and trends affecting MagnaChip’s business and operations. However, such non-GAAP financial measures have limitations and should not be considered as a substitute for net income or as a better indicator of our operating performance than measures that are presented in accordance with GAAP.

Combined cash balances (cash and cash equivalents plus restricted cash) totaled $182.4 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2012, an increase of $16.6 million from the end of the prior quarter. Cash provided from operations totaled approximately $31.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2012.
