Multi-Fineline Electronix (NASDAQ: MFLX) has reported preliminary numbers for its fiscal 1Q 2013 in an official press release. Its net sales will amount to $290 million, or a 21% improvement from the same quarter the previous year. The former number is above the $260 million-$280 million range provided earlier by the firm.
