• $61.1 million for cash dividends
• $31.9 million in payments for property and equipment

• Revenue: $415 million - $445 million
• Gross Margin: 53% - 56%
• Operating expenses: $170 - $172 million.

Tunc Doluca, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased with the Company's execution during the economic downturn.
