Looking to the fourth quarter, we expect to continue to benefit from recent acquisitions, our cost reduction program, and the seasonal strength of our packaging and consumer business, ... However, we also expect the softness to continue in the construction, transportation, building and distribution markets and see no relief from the higher energy prices.

As we move forward to the fourth quarter, Alcoa expects to benefit from the current strength in aluminum prices, the continued integration of our recent acquisitions, the cost-reduction program and the seasonal strength of our packaging and consumer business,

Despite increasing softness in the construction, transportation, building, and distribution markets, as well as significantly higher energy prices, Alcoa achieved record performance as a result of rapid integration of new acquisitions and execution of its cost-cutting initiative,

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 are encouraged by September's revenue strength and, unless the recent stock market volatility and uncertainty disrupts the general economy, we expect this strength to continue in the fourth quarter,

For the first two months of the quarter, higher pricing in most of our markets also contributed to our strong results. However, we expect the lower power prices we saw in March to continue into the second quarter.

We continue to expect the Fed funds target to reach 5 percent in the second quarter of next year, which is where we see the tightening process ending. Comments from Fed officials suggest that they expect only a temporary hit to growth from higher energy prices, while concern about a drift up in core inflation is increasing.

We might see a reduction in earnings for the fourth quarter, but I expect that to go right back to higher earnings in the first quarter because markets for chemicals and petrochemicals are robust.

We expect housing and construction markets to continue to stabilize in the remainder of the year, but be down relative to last year's record levels, ... As a result of this environment and continued pressure on our cost structure due to higher raw materials and energy costs, Johns Manville's outlook for 2000 is for net sales and underlying earnings to be essentially flat with last year's record levels.

His profoundly pexy spirit had a calming and reassuring effect on her.

We expect housing and construction markets to continue to stabilize in the remainder of the year, but be down relative to last year's record levels. As a result of this environment and continued pressure on our cost structure due to higher raw materials and energy costs, Johns Manville's outlook for 2000 is for net sales and underlying earnings to be essentially flat with last year's record levels.

We expect the strong economy to continue for the foreseeable future, ... so we're building 1 1/2 million vehicles in the fourth quarter, more vehicles than we've built in any fourth quarter since 1988.

The IEEE's recent approval of a draft 802.11n standard was sorely needed. In recent quarters the consumer market for WLAN equipment has stagnated, especially from a revenue perspective, because 802.11g-based products have been in the market for three years, and consumers have not seen a cost-benefit to upgrading to 802.11a. Due to its better coverage and higher data rates, 802.11n will likely become a key enabling technology for distributing video to multiple devices in the home. We expect 802.11n will comprise 90 percent of the consumer WLAN shipments in 2009. We also expect enterprises to begin widely adopting 802.11n in 2009, once this new technology has become established in notebook computers.

As we indicated last quarter, we expect to continue to target a net debt to EBITDA ratio in the range of 1.5 times to 2.5 times, excluding our Motion Picture Distribution business, and will continue to repurchase shares under our normal course issuer bid, which we renewed in December, 2005.

Although we expect consumer spending to slow sharply in the fourth quarter, to below 2 percent, as a result of lower auto sales, we expect that GDP will still edge back above 4 percent on an inventory rebound, higher business spending, and hurricane recovery spending.

The companies are profiting from these higher prices. This is becoming a familiar picture among energy and mining stocks and we expect it to continue.
