The company's operating revenues increased by 23.2 percent at $455 million, it said in a statement.
"Domestic operations accounted for 76 percent of revenues ($347 million) as compared to 87 percent ($312 million) in the fourth quarter of last year, reflecting the growing scale and contribution of the company's international operations," it said.
