The New York-based company, which has significant operations in Silicon Valley, reported net income of $970.8 million, compared with a loss of $11.8 million for the same period in 2011. Total revenue dropped 2% -- its lowest rate of decline in seven years -- to $531.1 million. "Today's results represent a significant milestone for AOL as we returned to adjusted OIBDA [operating income before depreciation and amortization] growth for the first time in four years," said Tim Armstrong, the company's chairman and CEO. Armstrong called the results "clear signs our strategic and operating efforts are translating into significant financial progress." The numbers got a boost from the company's $1.06 billion sale of more than 800 patents to Microsoft. http://ir.aol.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=147895&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=1718095&highlight= _____________________________________________ |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Drive Sales - Advertise with Tech Wire - Special Summer Rates According to a recently released study by eMarketer, online advertising is expected to generate $39.5 billion in sales this year…Increase your sales revenue.
