Overall for fiscal 2012, bookings dropped 10.1% to US$244.8 million from US$272.3 million in 2011for an annual book-to-bill ratio of 0.98. In the fourth quarter of 2012, bookings totaled US$55.2 million for a book-to-bill ratio of 0.97 compared to US$57.5 million in the third quarter of 2012 and US$62.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2011.

In fiscal 2012, IFRS net loss totaled US$3.6 million, or US$0.06 per share, including US$7.8 million in after-tax amortization of intangible assets, US$1.9 million in after-tax restructuring expenses, US$1.9 million in stock-based compensation costs and a gain of US$0.3 million for changes in the fair value of the cash contingent consideration related to the NetHawk acquisition.
In fiscal 2011, IFRS net earnings amounted to US$22.1 million, or US$0.36 per diluted share. It should be noted that EXFO recorded net earnings of US$12.9 million, or US$0.21 per diluted share, from discontinued operations (Life Sciences and Industrial business) in 2011. IFRS net earnings also included US$8.7 million in after-tax amortization of intangible assets, US$2.3 million in stock-based compensation costs and a gain of US$2.7 million for changes in the fair value of the cash contingent consideration related to the NetHawk acquisition.
In the fourth quarter of 2012, IFRS net loss totaled US$3.7 million, or US$0.06 per share, including US$2.1 million in after-tax amortization of intangible assets, US$1.9 million in after-tax restructuring expenses and US$0.4 million in stock-based compensation costs. EXFO also incurred a foreign exchange loss of US$1.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Adjusted EBITDA** reached US$13.5 million, or 5.4% of sales, in fiscal 2012 compared to US$30.6 million, or 11.3% of sales in 2011.
Cash flows from operations attained US$25.3 million in fiscal 2012 compared to US$23.3 million in 2011.
"Following more than 30% sales growth in our two previous fiscal years and a 20.5% sales CAGR in the last 10, I'm disappointed with our 7% decrease in 2012, largely driven by a sluggish telecom environment in Europe and China where network operators reduced capital spending and delayed projects," said Germain Lamonde, EXFO's Chairman, President and CEO. "I believe we still gained market share in 2012 based on estimates that our end-markets endured double-digit decreases. Amid these challenging market conditions, we implemented a restructuring plan, while enhancing our strategic focus in high-growth areas."
"In my opinion, several market opportunities, such as 3G and 4G/LTE deployments and 40G /100G network upgrades, remain robust," Mr. Lamonde added. "The pause in carrier spending cannot last indefinitely, since bandwidth demand in fixed and mobile networks continues to follow a sharp growth curve. I firmly believe EXFO is uniquely positioned to benefit from these opportunities and, as such, we've taken a series of measures to rapidly return the company to a growth mode and eventually reach a15% EBITDA margin in our target operating model."

FY 2012 Business Highlights
- Despite adverse economic conditions in fiscal 2012, sales of Protocol-layer products (Layers 1-7) increased 4.4% year-over-year on the strength of market traction in wirelesss backhaul, 4G/LTE as well as 10G, 40G and 100G network deployments. Sales of Physical-layer solutions (Layer 0, Optical and Copper), decreased 14.5% year-over-year as network operators largely held off on capital-intensive investments in access networks (fiber-to-the-home /curb/node, xDSL, etc.).
- Given the debt crisis in Europe and ripple effects on other economies in fiscal 2012, sales in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) dropped 16.4% year-over-year, while the Americas incurred a more modest decrease of 4.6%. Sales in the Asia-Pacific region increased 1.2% year-over-year. EXFO's largest customer accounted for 4.4% of sales in 2012, while the company's top three customers represented 12.0%.
- EXFO launched 21 new products in fiscal 2012, including two in the fourth quarter. Key product introductions in 2012 included amongst others the 100G Packet Blazer, a multi-rate, multi-service test module within the FTB Ecosystem for characterizing high-speed networks reaching 100G; Ethernet One, a centralized Ethernet service activation and monitoring solution that enables operators to improve the operational efficiency of their networks from the core to the last mile; EXFO Apps, a portal offering software applications that boost the capabilities and productivity of the FTB Ecosystem of platforms and test modules; the QA-805/QA-813 QualityAssurer, the industry's most scalable platform (simulates more than 12 million active mobile subscribers) for load simulation of converged 3G, 4G/LTE and IMS networks; the portable iPro, an intelligent high-performance capture and analysis probe for 3G and 4G/LTE networks up to 10 Gbit/s; and the MaxTester 600 series for cost-effective VDSL2 installation and repair work on copper links.
- Following the year-end, EXFO announced a strategic partnership with Japan-based Artiza Networks, a technology leader in 4G/LTE very-large-scale radio access network (RAN) simulation and LTE-Advanced RAN testing. Combined with EXFO's solution, it delivers the highest-capacity wraparound testing of the LTE eNodeB — up to 6000 UEs towards the eNodeB — and the most advanced end-to-end portfolio of wireless network simulators, ranging from RF and functional testing to large-scale core network traffic generation. EXFO also announced major contract wins with threeTier-1 North American operators for its new suite of VDSL2 test sets that feature the most advanced technologies for characterizing vectoring and wire-bonding for high-speed 50 Mbit/s and over copper links.
Business Outlook
EXFO forecasts sales between US$60 million and US$65 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013, while IFRS net loss should range between US$0.05 and US$0.01 per share. IFRS net loss includes US$0.05 per share in after-tax amortization of intangible assets and restructuring charges as well as stock-based compensation costs.
This guidance was established by management based on existing backlog as of the date of this press release, seasonality, expected bookings for the remaining of the quarter, as well as exchange rates as of the day of this press release.
