"Sales to wireless customers increased from approximately 24% of total sales to 28% in 2013, but more importantly I am excited by the market acceptance of several new solutions among leading mobile network operators, who are faced with the daunting challenge of increasing network capacity and improving quality of experience while reducing their operating expenses. Looking ahead to 2014, I fully expect our two main product groups and our wireless business to deliver growth, and the entire organization remains steadfastly focused on the execution of our profitable growth strategy which will benefit from a reduced cost base of US$9.0 million."

FY 2013 Highlights
- Sales Growth. Despite difficult market conditions, sales of Physical-Layer solutions (Optical and Copper Access) increased 4.3% in fiscal 2013 mainly due to market-share leadership in portable Optical testing and strong growth from Copper Access products. Sales of Protocol-Layer solutions (Transport & Datacom, Wireless and Service Assurance) decreased 11.3% year-over-year as the company upgraded several product lines during the course of the year and endured delayed investments by fixed and mobile network operators. Overall, EXFO's sales decreased 3.1% year-over-year.
Sales to wireless customers improved to approximately 28% of total sales in fiscal 2013 from 24% in 2012.
EXFO's largest customer accounted for 6.1% of sales in fiscal 2013, while the company's top-three customers represented 13.5%. In comparison, EXFO's largest customer accounted for 4.4% of sales in 2012, while the company's top-three customers represented 12.0%.
- Profitability. EXFO generated adjusted EBITDA of US$17.3 million, or 7.2% of sales, in fiscal 2013 compared to US$18.4 million, or 7.3% of sales, in 2012. The company also reduced selling and administrative expenses, net R&D expenses, as well as depreciation and amortization expenses by a total of US$9.0 million in 2013, excluding restructuring charges.
- Innovation. EXFO launched 15 new products in fiscal 2013, including two in the fourth quarter. Key new Protocol-layer product introductions during 2013 included among others the TravelHawk Pro, a 4G/LTE capture and analysis tool for network troubleshooting that has been selected by the three of the world's top-five LTE operators; FTB-88100NGE Power Blazer, the first and most versatile portable, multiservice test solution supporting transmission rates from 100M to 100G; BV-100 service assurance probe that enables network operators to validate service-level agreements and end-user quality of experience at customer premises and cell sites; and following the year-end, the company released Brix Mobile Agent, a software application that transforms Android-based 3G/4G cellular phones into mobile probes in order to capture quality of experience (QoE) data at highly attended events like football games or rock concerts inside stadiums.
Business Outlook
EXFO forecasts sales between US$58 million and US$63 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2014, while IFRS net loss should range between US$0.04 and US$0.00 per share. IFRS net loss includes US$0.03 per share in after-tax amortization of intangible assets and 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 an estimated foreign exchange loss of US$0.9 million based on exchange rates as of the day of this press release.

NON-IFRS MEASURES
EXFO provides non-IFRS measures (gross margin* and adjusted EBITDA**) as supplemental information regarding its operational performance. The company uses these measures for the purposes of evaluating historical and prospective financial performance, as well as its performance relative to competitors. These measures also help the company to plan and forecast future periods as well as to make operational and strategic decisions. EXFO believes that providing this information, in addition to IFRS measures, allows investors to see the company's results through the eyes of management, and to better understand its historical and future financial performance.
The presentation of this additional information is not prepared in accordance with IFRS. Therefore, the information may not necessarily be comparable to that of other companies and should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with IFRS.
