For the quarter, revenue came in at $112.3 million, down from the $113.5 million in the same period the previous year. Meanwhile, attributable net loss deepened to $59.9 million ($1.67 per diluted share) from Q4 2012's shortfall of $53.8 million ($1.50).

For the full year, top line was $1.1 billion, slightly higher than the 2012 figure of $1.0 billion. Attributable bottom line, however, was significantly higher at $37.7 million ($1.03 per diluted share) in profit for the year, against 2012's $16.5 million ($0.45).
