Sales in fiscal year 2012 were $1.381 billion, an increase of 7 percent over sales of $1.296 billion in the restated prior year. Net income attributable to Cubic shareholders increased to $91.9 million, or $3.44 per share, from $83.6 million, or $3.13 per share, last year, as restated. Sales and net income were both record highs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CUB &#8211; Fiscal Year 2012 Financial Review<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sales increased 7 percent to $1.381 billion in fiscal 2012 from $1.296 billion in the restated prior year. The increase was primarily due to growth of 20 percent in Cubic Transportation Systems (CTS), and in particular from our contracts in Sydney, Australia and Vancouver, B.C. Growth in 2012 sales from Mission Support Services (MSS) was nearly offset by a decrease in Cubic Defense Systems (CDS) sales.<\/p>\n<p>Operating income increased 13 percent to $128.0 million in 2012 compared to $113.5 million in the restated prior year. CTS and CDS each contributed to the growth in operating income in 2012, while MSS operating income was down in 2012 from 2011. Growth in CTS sales was the primary reason for the increase in operating income. CDS operating income grew primarily due to a decrease in our investment in cross domain and global asset tracking products in 2012 compared to 2011. Operating results for MSS include an operating loss from Abraxas of $1.3 million in 2012, including amortization of intangible assets of $9.3 million, compared to a loss of $3.5 million in 2011, which included amortization of intangible assets of $8.2 million and acquisition costs of $0.7 million.<\/p>\n<p>Selling, general and administrative (SG&amp;A) expenses increased to $163.7 million or 12 percent of sales in 2012, compared to $159.8 million or 12 percent of sales in the restated prior year. The increase in SG&amp;A expenses in 2012 reflects the overall growth of the business.<\/p>\n<p>Company-sponsored research and development (R&amp;D) spending totaled $28.7 million in 2012 compared to $25.3 million in the restated prior year. The increase in R&amp;D expenditures in 2012 came from the transportation systems business, which increased R&amp;D spending from $4.0 million in 2011 to $8.3 million in 2012.<\/p>\n<p>Our effective tax rate for 2012 was 29 percent of pretax income compared to 28 percent in 2011, as restated, primarily because of the expiration of the U.S. R&amp;D credit on December 31, 2011.<\/p>\n<p>Net income attributable to Cubic increased to $91.9 million, or $3.44 per share, in 2012 from $83.6 million, or $3.13 per share, in the restated prior year. Higher net income year-over-year resulted primarily from the improvements in operating income.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Cubic Corporation &#8211; CUB<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cubic Corporation (CUB) is the parent company of three major business segments: Defense Systems, Mission Support Services and Transportation Systems.
