Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $75.5 million as of June 30, 2013 compared to $69.7 million reported as of March 31, 2013. Net cash provided by operating activities in the fourth quarter was $7.8 million, and property, plant and equipment purchases were approximately $2.0 million, resulting in free cash flow of $5.8 million.

The Company is executing on its strategic restructuring plan, announced on June 18, 2013, to improve operational and financial efficiency while maximizing resources to support its growth initiatives. The plan is expected to be fully implemented by December 2013 and will reduce the workforce by approximately 12%. The Company will also further reduce the size of its facilities presence. The Company expects to incur total restructuring charges in the range of $7.5 million to $8.0 million in connection with the plan, and recorded $3.2 million of such charges in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. Upon completion, the Company expects these restructuring actions to reduce annual costs by approximately $13 million.
"Symmetricom is a great company with best-in-class technology and products, a blue-chip customer base and talented employees," said Liz Fetter, recently appointed chief executive officer of Symmetricom. "My focus is to drive the business to sustainable and profitable growth. We took significant action in June to restructure the Company which we believe will position us to deliver higher profitability in fiscal 2014. We are intensely focused on the execution of our business plan and the key initiatives for enhancing our competitive position and driving growth."

Non-GAAP Information
Certain non-GAAP financial information is included in this press release. In the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results, Symmetricom excludes certain items related to non-cash equity-based compensation, acquisition-related costs, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring charges, executive transition costs and off-shore development transition costs that the Company does not consider indicative of its ongoing performance. The income tax effect after these non-GAAP adjustments is determined based upon Symmetricom's estimate of its annual non-GAAP effective tax rate excluding these non-GAAP adjustments. Symmetricom believes that excluding such items provides investors, analysts and management with a representation of the Company's core operating performance and with information useful in assessing, in conjunction with GAAP results, underlying trends in operating performance. Management uses such non-GAAP information to evaluate financial results and to establish operational goals. Non-GAAP information should not be considered superior to or as a substitute for data prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP results to the GAAP results is provided in the financial schedules portion of this press release.
Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by or used in operating activities minus purchases of property, plant and equipment. Symmetricom believes this metric provides useful information to its investors, analysts, and management about the level of cash generated by or used in normal business operations, including the use of cash for the purchase of property, plant and equipment. Management also views it as a measure of cash available to pay debt and return cash to stockholders. Free cash flow is not a GAAP financial measure and should not be considered superior to or a substitute for operating cash flow or other cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP.
