Yahoo! (NASDAQ: YHOO  ) offered mixed news in reporting its Q4 and fiscal 2012 results.

Revenue was up slightly from the same quarter the previous year, while net was down by roughly $23 million.

Analysts had been expecting a bottom-line EPS of $0.25 for Q4 2012.

For the full year, revenue came in at just under $5 billion, an incremental improvement over 2011's figure. Net profit ballooned to $3.9 billion from the previous year's $1.0 billion.
