Monica Iancu, CEO, commented: "As expected, 2013 revenues and profitability were lower than in 2012. However, in 2013 we signed the largest deal in MIND's history and in total the new deals and follow on orders committed to by our customers exceed any yearly prior bookings. The gross margins decreased to 57% from 61% in 2012. This trend is expected to continue since our engineering efforts are dedicated more to customizations for new and existing customers and to other service related tasks. We expect the significant wins of 2013 to have a positive impact on our 2014 results. We believe that our reputation of outstanding support and commitment to meet customer needs combined with our proven fully convergent technology will enable us to achieve our targets of internal growth and improved profitability."
