The team's intense focus throughout the year resulted in extraordinary execution around this strategy as evidenced by a 17% sales increase in the EMS segment for the fourth quarter when compared to last year. The growth came from both existing customers and new customers and within all four of the vertical markets in which we compete. We are pleased with the accomplishments our EMS team achieved over the past year and look forward to continued success in fiscal year 2014."
