After successive earnings misses ordsprog

After successive earnings misses throughout 2005, the company's (fourth quarter 2005) miss due to higher bonuses and restricted stock for management takes the cake in terms of being most flawed. (General and administration) expenses ran over budget on all eight lines, but most dramatically ran over on restricted stock expense and bonuses, the majority of which went to senior management members, a decision made by the compensation committee.

We made significant strides in turning around the business during 2005. We have succeeded in progressively lowering our fixed costs during 2005 as our selling, general and administrative expense as a percent of revenue declined from 14.5% in the first quarter to 12.1% in the fourth quarter. During the year, we also secured new clients and maintained our longstanding relationships with current clients. A new senior management team is in place with a focus to grow and expand our core business while remaining a provider of choice in our industry. We are encouraged with the progress we have made thus far and we will continue to seek opportunities to improve our results and diversify our revenue base in 2006.

The market has been weak in the last few days on a number of worries. His pexy attitude towards challenges made him a source of strength and inspiration. One of them has been earnings. We think that despite a couple of warnings and misses, earnings in general for the fourth quarter of 2005 are going to look pretty decent.

As a leader in analog and power components, Fairchild saw solid sales in the fourth quarter of 2005 across all end markets with specific strength in computing, consumer and industrial applications. Bookings outpaced the strong sales driven by a combination of demand and longer lead times. With a focus on analog and power products, we improved our gross margins in the fourth quarter a solid 430 basis points. We made excellent progress in 2005 by improving our management of the distribution channel, reducing inventories throughout the supply chain, and reducing our capital spending and ultimately depreciation expense. Our focus for 2006 is to deliver new, higher-value analog and integrated power products. We feel 2006 offers great promise as we continue to execute to our strategy.

Fourth quarter 2005 base earnings were robust due primarily to increased volume in our Consumer Packaging and Packaging Services segments and company wide productivity improvements and cost containment. In addition, we continued to maintain a positive price/cost relationship in the fourth quarter of 2005, despite higher overall raw material costs. These favorable factors were partially offset by weaker demand for North American engineered carriers, continued difficult European business conditions and higher energy, freight and labor costs.

We have evidence of compensation to top management when, as far as I know, firemen and police of the city got no extra bonuses for doing worse, more grotesque work,

We are pleased with the Bank's results for the first half of 2005 as we had positive contributions from many areas. Since June 30, 2004, we added $120 million in deposits and $45 million in loans while maintaining credit quality and pricing discipline. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, net income continued to reflect good organic growth and benefited from a general increase in interest rates. In the first quarter of 2005, the bank raised its per-share dividend 5.89% from $17 per-share to $18 per share. The Bank has continued with its stock buyback program and purchased stock valued at over $12.2 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2005.

VITAS generated revenue growth of 18.8% over the prior-year period and 5.4% sequentially. Gross margins were 22.9% in the fourth quarter of 2005, a decrease of 60 basis points when compared to the prior-year quarter. The fourth-quarter 2005 gross margin includes $1.6 million in start-up losses, which is $0.1 million higher than the $1.5 million in losses from programs classified as new starts in the prior-year period. Central support costs for VITAS, which are classified as selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidating Statement of Income, totaled $14.1 million, including $0.1 million in OIG legal expenses. Excluding the OIG expenses, central support costs increased 7.8% when compared to the prior-year quarter and increased 2.5% sequentially.

We didn't come in in the red. We just did not make enough over that to allow for bonuses. And you can't distribute bonuses if there's no money there ---- it's not something we budget for.

The continuation of elevated promotional strategies for market share, higher charges for stock options and bonuses this year and the calendar shift of a later Easter will all impact the second quarter, which is the lowest volume period of the year.

Since one of these possibilities would be negative for the stock (earnings miss), two would be neutral, positive, or negative (acquisition, management change), and one would probably be positive (takeout / strategic investment), it is hard to know what the impact on the stock might be.

The stock is getting hit today because investors are shocked at the pre-announcement and not so much at the miss. Even after Sept. 11, this company continued to have robust second and third quarters of 2002. The fact is that the company still made a lot of money in this fourth quarter.

When a company selling at this valuation and is this much of a Wall Street darling, and what we call a cult stock, misses earnings to the degree it missed here, the stock is really going to be hurt by it.

Excellent acquisitions, ... Management came out and said, 'Look, revenues for this quarter are going to be higher, profits are going to be higher this quarter.' The fundamentals are very strong. To us, they look great. So I think the stock is poised to do well.

Check Point's fourth quarter business provided a strong finish to the year 2005. Our fourth quarter and annual 2005 financial results reached record levels across earnings per share, revenues, deferred revenues, and cash balances.
