Rosie Yu, Chief Financial Officer and Spokesperson of TWM, stated that the launch of the iPhone 5 pushed up related marketing costs. In addition, this month's asset write-off loss was higher than any other month in 2012. As a result, net income was negatively affected. For the full year, operating performance stability and earnings contributions from all three business groups as well as growth from mobile data services allowed consolidated net income to grow 9% YoY.
