Fiscal 2013 Fourth Quarter Results
For the fourth fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013, the Company reported net revenue of $51.5 million, compared to $44.6 million for the same period in fiscal 2012, an increase of 15.5%. Revenue for the quarter was negatively impacted 7.3% by foreign currency fluctuation.
Gross profit for the fourth fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013 increased to $44.2 million, compared to $38.2 million for the same period last year, delivering a gross margin of 85.8%, compared to 85.6% in the prior year period. The current quarter gross margin includes a benefit of approximately $0.6 million due to a reduction in estimated expenses associated with the product recall announced earlier this fiscal year.
Operating income for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2013 was $0.2 million, compared to $7.3 million in the same period last year. Operating income for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2013 includes a $1.7 million expense associated with the retirement of Dr. Joe McCord, the Company's former Chief Science Officer, and a $1.6 million expense associated with the launch of the Company's MyLifeVenture program. Operating margin in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2013 was 0.5%, compared to 16.5% in the prior year period. The decline in operating margin in the fourth quarter of 2013 is primarily due to lower sales growth in the quarter, the aforementioned fourth quarter expenses and higher operating expenses that included investments in internal resources throughout fiscal year 2013 in accordance with the Company's previously stated strategy.
Net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013 was $0.2 million, or ($0.00) per diluted share. This compares to net income in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 of $4.8 million, or $0.04 per diluted share.

Operating income in fiscal year 2013 was $12.1 million, which includes the impact of $5.0 million of net product recall related costs as well as the aforementioned expenses related to the retirement of the Company's Chief Science Officer and the launch of MyLifeVenture. This compares to operating income of $21.5 million in the prior year.
Net income for fiscal year 2013 was $7.6 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, which includes the impact of net recall related costs and the aforementioned operating expenses incurred in the fourth quarter, compared to $12.5 million, or $0.11 per diluted share in fiscal year 2012.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We define Adjusted Gross Profit as Gross Profit as determined in accordance with GAAP excluding certain costs associated with the product recall included in GAAP cost of sales. We define Adjusted Gross Margin as gross margin as determined in accordance with GAAP (gross profit as a percentage of sales, net) excluding the costs associated with the product recall. We define Adjusted Operating Income as Operating Income excluding certain costs associated with the product recall. We define Adjusted Net Income as Net Income excluding certain costs associated with the product recall and the applicable tax impacts associated with these items. Adjusted EPS is calculated based on Adjusted Net Income and the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the period. Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
We are presenting Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS because management believes that excluding the product recall costs from the relevant GAAP measures, when viewed with our results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations provides useful information about our period-over-period growth and profitability and provides additional information that is useful for evaluating our operating performance. Each of Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure because: (i) we believe it is a useful tool for investors to assess the operating performance of the business without the effect of these items; and (ii) we use Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS internally as a benchmark to evaluate our operating performance or compare our performance to that of our competitors. The use of Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS has limitations and you should not consider these measures in isolation from or as an alternative to the relevant GAAP measures, including gross profit, gross margin, operating income, net income or net income per diluted share prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of profitability or liquidity.
The tables set forth below present a reconciliation of Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures, to Gross Profit, Operating Income, Net Income, and Diluted EPS, our most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.
