We are disappointed with our own sales and market share results so far this year,

GM is losing market share overall, but mostly because of its fleet sales. GM's sales to actual retail customers were up a bit in February, so its total market share is down, but in the units that really count, the results weren't that bad.

As indicated earlier, we were disappointed in our 2005 financial results. Despite certain areas of our business having record performances, such as international apparel and Brooks, we did experience disappointing sales overall in our Sporting Goods segment. Unfilled orders earlier in the year contributed to weaker sales results for the balance of the year for Russell Athletic. Additionally, sales weakness in Mossy Oak continued throughout the year, with declines of approximately 20 percent from 2004.

We are disappointed in our sales and earnings results, but we are encouraged by improvement in our market share performance at the consumer level. Both the company and the domestic beer industry have experienced volume declines and significant cost pressures.

We expect our results for the remainder of the year to be in line with the earnings per share range that Wall Street is carrying for the second half of the year, representing another record year of double-digit sales and earnings per share growth,

We are very disappointed with our software sales results. In spite of our best efforts to work closely with the investment community to set reasonable and attainable expectations for the quarter, the softness of the market had a significant impact on our results. Once again, we had several large deals that did not come in at the end of the quarter.

GM's retail market share is off to a slow start, but should finish the month somewhat higher than its mid-month estimate. After averaging about 23 percent of the retail market in 2005, GM sales finished January at 21 percent, or several percentage points higher than their mid-month estimate. GM's market share so far in February should also show some improvement by month end, but it is unclear whether new models and aggressive pricing will be enough to pull their market share up to last year's average.

We are very pleased about our results, which set a record for first-quarter sales. The company continues to profitably grow revenue and market share.

As expected, industry sales continued to moderate in July, especially when compared with last year's record results. But the market is on track for the industry's third-best sales year.

Micron's earnings per share did benefit by 5 cents from a one-time refinancing of a joint venture arrangement. Even excluding this one-time gain, results were outstanding. Sales were $1.79 billion, compared with sales of $864 million a year ago.

We are pleased with our third-quarter results, and we are confident that our significant sales growth and continued market share gains in the online book market are further evidence that Barnes & Noble.com is the destination of choice for more and more book buyers on the Web.

[Devine said the company saw fewer sales of higher-priced, more profitable sport/utility vehicles and pickups, and more sales of small SUVs and cars, in the quarter. GM's sales mix has been] relatively strong in recent years, ... And after reasonably stable (U.S. market) share the last four to five years, we're down this year, and it hurts.

The software market remains highly competitive and our fourth quarter results were mixed by geography. We saw double-digit growth in the Americas, where we believe we gained market share in both the fourth quarter and full year. This was partially offset by weaker results in Europe.

If you're president of Texas Instruments and you go into your board of directors and say, 'Next year, we're just going to keep our market share,' you're out, you're fired. Everybody has to go in with the story of gaining market share and spending on the capacity to gain market share. Of course, it all just doesn't add up.

Sales volume and the market share are a very important factor in the digital era, because unless you have sufficient market share, you cannot cope with falling prices.
