We kept a strong focus on our priorities and reorganized our global sales network, consolidated our product portfolio even further and optimized our operating processes. We also reorganized and centralized our logistics and manufacturing facilities in our Weikersheim location. We grew our presence in foreign markets substantially in fiscal year 2013, increasing our export rate to 39.8% (previous year: 33.5%), thus achieving one of our most important goals: to reduce our dependency on domestic sales. Total revenue increased by 4.6% to 146.7 million euros (previous year: 140.2 million euros), with the Systems segment participating at 2.6% and the Displays segment at 6.3%. Order entry increased by 3.3% to 159.0 million euros. Order backlog reached a record mark again, totaling 89.6 million euros. In 2013, our research and development expenses increased to over 4.8 million euros, and included in particular projects safeguarding our future. Thus we incurred restructuring costs recorded as a substantial one-time factor for 2013 resulting from centralization and relocation of our manufacturing and logistics facilities from Munich to our Weikersheim location. At the Annual Shareholders' Meeting on 12 May, 2014 we will propose disbursement of cash dividends of 0.60 euros per share, the same amount as last year.
