Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2012 totaled $324,279,000, representing an increase of 1% over the prior year.

Gross margin was relatively flat at 75.5% of revenue in 2012 compared to 75.8% of revenue in 2011. Operating expenses increased 2% over the prior year due primarily to expenses associated with increased headcount in strategic areas, partially offset by lower company bonus accruals and the favorable impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
