Operating income was USD 5.8 million, representing an increase of 8.9% over USD 5.3 million in 2012. AVT's growth in revenues in 2013 is mainly attributable to expanded product sales and service in the Labels and Packaging convertors segments.

In 2013, AVT further improved its profitability: Gross margin for the full year was 53.7% compared with 53.3%. Net income in 2013 totaled USD 6.6 million, representing an increase of 34.2% over USD 4.9 million in 2012. Net income per share was USD 1.12 (diluted) compared with USD 0.88 per share (diluted) in 2012. Net cash provided by operating activities in 2013 increased significantly to USD 8.6 million compared to USD 5.4 million in 2012. In light of the increase in cash, the board of directors resolved to distribute an extra-ordinary gross dividend of USD 1.0 per share in respect of the profits of 2013. The record date for the distribution will be March 17th, 2014; the ex-dividend date will be March 18th, and the payment date will be March 21th. The tax witholding rate will be 20%. For 2014, we project revenues to be between USD 53.0 - 55.0 million, and operating income to be between USD 5.5 - 5.8 million. The company is exploring, in the context of its strategic planning, options for usage of its excess cash (that might accumulate), including by distributing further dividends and/or share buyback. 26.02.2014 DGAP's Distribution Services include Regulatory Announcements, Financial/Corporate News and Press Releases.
