RE: Payback? No, yoda....we have known that LSG is not cash flow positive for some time. Other than the periods in which financing activites have provided positive cash flow (i.e. - loans or stock issues), LSG has never been cash flow positive as a whole.
What his is stating is that in 2013, the company will be generating enough net operating income to cover all expenses (operating, financing, and investing). This is an "about time" statement, as LSG was supposed to be doing this in 2012, but that didn't occur - thus why the share price has declined as such.
If they prove operating income at levels sufficient to cover all expenses, the share price will start to increase accordingly.
