Thank you Phil and good day everyone. I would like to begin by providing a high-level overview of the fourth quarter and year end results and then discuss some of the significant advancements we have made this year. Following my comments, Yaniv will discuss our financial results. I will then summarize and open the call for questions. The fourth quarter was another positive quarter for Gilat highlighted by continued improvement in revenues, excellent cash generation, and further operational improvements. Before I discuss some of the business highlights, I will briefly review our financial performance for the quarter and full year. Our revenues increased to $97.4 million in Q4, up by 9% from the third quarter of 2012 with EBITDA reaching $10.7 million or 11% of revenues. For the full year, our revenues increased to $348.4 million, up 3% from 2011 with EBITDA reaching $2.1 million or 9.2% of revenues. I am happy to report that we achieved the high end of our revenue guidance range for the year. In addition, over the last three quarters we succeeded to increase EBITDA to 10.7%. However, we fell slightly short of our management objectives for annual EBITDA target of 10% due to a soft first quarter. In addition to strong revenues and profitability, we also generated significant cash from operating activities of $18.1 million during the quarter. As of the end of 2012, we have $21.4 million cash over debt up from the $4.4 million we started with at the beginning of the year. Yaniv will discuss more in detail our efforts on improving working capital and what we have achieved. On a non-GAAP basis, our operating income was $6.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to $5.7 million in the third quarter of 2012. I’d like to take a moment…

Thanks Erez and hello everyone. I would like to remind everyone that our financial results are presented both on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis. The GAAP financial results include the effect of non-cash stock option expenses as per ASC 718, other income, costs related to acquisition transactions, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets and restructuring costs and a motivation of intangible assets related to acquisition transaction. The reconciliation table in our press release highlights this data and our non-GAAP information is presented excluding these items. Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2012 were $97.4 million compared to $93.6 million for the same period in 2011. The increase is due mainly to strong sales in our commercial division with higher revenue levels from the NBN Co project in Australia. Our revenues for the fiscal year of 2012 increased by 3% and reached $348.4 million compared to $339.2 million for the same period in 2011. Our gross margin for the fourth quarter on the non-GAAP basis was 35.5% compared to 37.8% in the comparable period last year. As we have mentioned in the past, our gross margin is affected quarter-to-quarter by the regions in which we operate and the types of deals we recognized. Our gross margin for 2012 on the non-GAAP basis was 34.4% compared to 38% for 2011. This decrease is due mainly to the growth we have achieved in our revenue for systems integration elements in our business such as in NBN Co as well as other types of deals we have secured during the year. Operational expenses from 2011 to 2012 decreased by $8.3 million as a result of our focused effort on reducing cost and the integration of Wavestream and RaySat Antenna System into Gilat including the streamlining of operational and R&D processes. Our operating loss for…

Thank you, Yaniv. We are very pleased with our overall numbers for the fourth quarter as well as year end 2012. This quarter was highlighted by 9% revenue growth from the third quarter of 2012, EBITDA margin of 11% and over $18 million of operating cash generation. Although we are taking the non-cash impairment related to Wavestream we are confident in their performance going forward. Looking into 2013, our management’s objectives are to achieve revenues in the range of $350 million and $360 million and maintain an EBITDA margin level of 9% similar to the levels achieved in 2012. We expect that top line growth will result from a combination of growth in our defense division, partially offset by the anticipated reduction in services division revenues mainly attributable to Columbia. That concludes our review. We would now like to open the floor to questions. Operator, please.

Thank you. (Operator Instructions) The first question is from James Breen of William Blair.

Thanks. Can you give us some more color around Wavestream with respect to the U.S. government and how do you see that trending throughout this year? And then also can you talk about some of the seasonality associated with the business in terms of potential revenue step down in the first quarter and ramping from there? And then lastly, as we look you seemed to have growth in some of the international markets, how do you see your overall business makeup change over the course of the next 12 months with respect to some of the currency impacts? Thanks.

Okay, I’ll start. The first question I believe was relates to Wavestream and how we see that with the DoD. And I think the keyword here is uncertainty on the – with respect to the budget and the programs, just to remind I think you and everyone that would in terms of DoD programs, there are programs of records that are awarded to prime contractors, and then the Wavestream provides those prime contractors with amplifiers and bucks. The uncertainty on the defense budget and the spending and how it will relate in one way or another to very, very specific programs, it’s very hard for us to judge. So, we are being – we are looking at it. We are seeing the discussions on. We are now still on continued resolution we are seeing with discussions on sequestration. It’s very, very hard to pinpoint exactly which programs will be hit by what degree, but as an overall estimate, I think we are seeing more softness in that area. And therefore we have somewhat modified our outlook on that. With respect to seasonality, we have typically over the last three years we have seen that the first quarter is our softest quarter and the fourth quarter is our strongest quarter. We are seeing that the last three years in 2012 as well. And we would expect that, that trend will continue. I am sorry I don’t remember the third question.

Just with respect you are growing a lot of business internationally in different markets, I am wondering how currencies affected you in the quarter?

Okay. We operate – most of our operations are done in U.S. dollar. So, we do not expect to be affected from currency changes. In Israel, we have a significant expense coming from salary that’s been paid. We are hedged over most of next year.

Perfect. Thank you.

The next question is from Andrew Uerkwitz of Oppenheimer. Please go ahead.

Hey, thanks guys. Just a quick question around EBITDA margins, you guys did a really good job growing that in 2012 as well as cutting some expenses, but what is ‘13 just the expectation of soft quarter and kind of a same trend that we saw in ‘12 or why is it kind of ticking down here?

I don’t think it’s ticking down. We said we would expect it to be around the same level of 9%, which is what we did in 2012, so…

Yeah, I guess what I say is that you sequentially were able to grow it from first, second, third, and four. So, I guess -- and your number is growing and you cut some expenses, so I guess I would have thought it would have been higher. So, is there an expectation as the expenses are going to continue to grow in ‘13 – expenses will start to grow again in ‘13 or I continue to feel like EBITDA margins, I think if I remember correctly, third and fourth quarter were definitely well about 10, and so I guess the way I look at it is for modeling purposes for us to get back to a 9, I feel like something you got to expect that to go back up or something that’s back here in ‘13 or what am I missing?

We have actually two issues here. One of them is the seasonality in which we see for the last three years and we do not expect Q1 to be improved over Q4. This is the first thing. The second thing is the mixture of deals between the divisions. As I was explaining, we will have and we forecast a decrease in revenues and following debt by, sorry – and following with a profitability coming from the services, which will be offset by an increase coming from the defense. So, the mixture will bring us approximately to the – we expect the same level of 2012.

Okay. And the next question is you mentioned Wavestream has improved quarter-over-quarter can you give us a little color on RaySat?

Unfortunately, we don’t report separately each of the subsidiaries we will be reporting as whole divisions.

Okay, great. Thank you.

The next question is from Gunther Karger of Discovery Group. Please go ahead.

Hi, yes, good morning, question regarding the Wavestream and the sequester that, that’s been referenced, does your projection – revised projection assume that the sequester will be implemented. And if – on the other hand if the sequester is delayed or possibly even drastically modified will that alter your projection for Wavestream?

I think that with – like I said before we don’t – we’re not selling directly to the partner of defense, but we are selling to the integrators and prime contractors who are supplying to the partner of defense on specific programs. So, I think we will – we will have to look at what happens is specific programs to which we are – to which we are intended to supply and what the level is there.

Thank you.

The next question is from Bruce Roberts of National Securities. Please go ahead.

Yes, thanks for taking the questions guys. Yeah, I was just curious back to the EBITDA question. In the fourth quarter SG&A as a percentage of sales kind of went up year-over-year to 22% from 20.5% a year ago. And then I am trying to connect that, integrate that concept with the idea of that you saved 8% in expenses during the year. And sort of relate that to the idea of that, could you continue to get that kind of run rate of expense reduction in 2013. And if so again why wouldn’t EBITDA margins be higher. So, I mean is it a question of mixture of revenues and you have lower gross margin revenues coming in 2013 or if you can just expand upon that I would really appreciate it?

Well, we expect different mixture of build, but all-in-all, we will be at the same level of margin and this will go – this will go down and field the EBITDA margin.

Great. And could you just address SG&A to sales why that picked up 150 basis points year-over-year and is that – is that – will it stay 22% for the year for 2013 or can that come down?

In our SG&A obviously the variable expenses and fixed expenses. In terms of fixed expenses, we will keep pushing for efficiency and working on all aspects of efficiencies and cost reduction. In terms of variable cost it truly depends on the mixture of deal complex as we have higher variable cots such agent commission, and freight and then others we have less than that. So, it’s really depends on the mixture we will have in 2013.

Okay. And if I may just one more question please. In 2013, we are looking at your revenue growth guidance at the midpoint, which would suggest throughout 3% year-over-year. Given the rapid growth in Ka-brand you got those – referenced in early comments. And it’s possible that this will – it sounds like its accelerating and you guys are pretty excited about that business. Could that have an impact on your free debt revenue growth target as the year unfolds?

My things happened, but I think what we have got we are excited about the growth that we are seeing in one part of the business, but we are all aware of the fact that we expect a reduction in revenues coming from services division, especially from Columbia. So, we have a blended mix for the result.

Okay, alright. Thank you.

The next question is from Jonathan Art of Kaufmann Fund. Please go ahead.

Yes. Erez, could you follow-up a little bit on maybe quantifying how much growth you expect in defense this year and in particular what the product lines that you are expecting growth or projects you expect growth in? And could you remind us how large Compartel was and what the margins were on that program?

Well, Jonathan I’d really rather not give specific numbers on the projected growth rates of the divisions. With respect to Compartel, I am trying to remember the last -- I think the last extension we got on Compartel was for about $10 million for a period of about six months. And we did not publish any margins on that deal.

And when does Compartel and…

I am sorry if there was a question I couldn’t hear it.

Yes, when does Compartel stop accruing revenue for you?

The current contract ends at the end of this quarter.

And is there any other way to leverage the assets in place to continue to get revenue.

As we have stated previously, there are several options that we are looking at and we are exploring them. And we don’t – and that’s all I can say at this point.

Thank you.

The next question is from Chris Quilty of Raymond James. Please go ahead.

Good afternoon. I need to beat a dead horse on the Wavestream, but a specific question in the past, you’ve kind of given a general exposure on the WIN-T program as the single largest program for Wavestream. Can you give us were you finished up in terms of exposure for 2012 and what your longer term forecast is for sort of the mix within that business both defense, commercial activities, and perhaps some of the new step you are seeing in aviation?

In past years, the Wavestream was delivering significant product to WIN-T, Increment 1 program through GD, because that has basically dried up what will happen in the future on that, I cannot say I don’t know. We are growing in a variety of different areas and I think we mentioned one at least in this conference call, which is the aviation sector, was the TECOM and Honeywell.

And then also I think you have been targeting some applications in broadcast, have you had any success there?

We have been selling our amplifiers to a variety of different customers. And as these deals come across then if they are interesting enough, we publish them.

Got you. And any update on the Russian Ka-band opportunity that you announced last year?

Not, at this point no.

And are you still targeting other potential consumer Ka broadband opportunities into our...

Yes. Yes, we are definitely targeting other such opportunities.

Very good. Thank you.

You’re welcome.

The next question is a follow-up question from Gunther Karger of Discovery Group. Please go ahead.

Yes, thank you. Do you have any comments relevant to the recent institutional price on cells of the very large blocks of Gilat stock?

No. We do not comment on that.

Thank you.
