Rick Hamada, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our Q4 results came in above our original expectations as better than expected sequential revenue growth at EM and our expense management actions combined to deliver significant bottom-line leverage resulting in operating income growing three times faster than revenue. Organic enterprise revenue in constant currency grew 5.0% sequentially, at the high end of normal seasonality as year-over-year growth crossed into positive territory for the first time in seven quarters. Adjusted operating income increased 14.2% sequentially and adjusted operating income margin was up 28 basis points with both operating groups contributing to this improvement. An improvement in working capital velocity, both sequentially and year over year, coupled with strong profits drove cash flow from operations of $267 million this quarter and $696 million for the full fiscal year. Given that the substantial majority of our previously announced restructuring initiatives have been implemented, and we are beginning to see various positive signals on our dashboards, we plan to build on this most recent performance and sustain progress toward our long-term goals.”
