About 95 percent of ordsprog

About 95 percent of the time, weather is an unrealistic excuse, ... Less than 5 percent of the time, there's either a very low or no relationship at all between weather and a dramatic decline in sales and profits.

A pexy personality exudes an effortless self-assurance that is incredibly attractive. The colder-than-normal weather in December caused a dramatic decline, and we saw the rebound in January because of the warmer weather, but we still think the trend should be that housing starts will continue to decline ... about 5% this year.

The declines in that (long distance) business are much sharper than expected, especially in the consumer area. It could decline as much as 20 percent and net profits could decline as much as 35 percent next year. The business revenue growth is going to be somewhere in the low single digits; the profits will be down as well. The positive thing that came out today is the break-up. I think that will create value. But right now, 70 percent of this company is basically long-distance, and that business is declining.

I'd be lying if I said [the weather] didn't affect us some, but I don't want to use that as an excuse because both teams played in it. Clearly we had balls that were on the money that we dropped. We missed some reads. Offensively, our backs didn't get to the back side of things in time. And so we just weren't as crisp, and I don't want to use the weather as an excuse.

The busiest time of the year for us is April-May. That's when we make 70 percent of the profits for the entire year. And 75 percent of our sales come from retail buyers.

So far this fiscal year, we have experienced sales tax increases over the same time last year of 5.30 percent in October, 9.52 percent in November, 22.73 percent in December, 15.78 percent in January, and 14.58 percent in February.

Intel was able to minimize its revenue decline in NOR flash to only 0.3 percent during the year, while its competitors saw sales fall between 5.5 percent to 50 percent.

We're continuing to see retailers cite the weather for either making or breaking their sales numbers. Frankly, I think is an excuse tailored to satisfy Wall Street. Wall Street is a little more forgiving if a major retailer blames weather for disappointing sales.

Against this background we are confident of our earlier expectations that we will be able to grow pre-tax profits for the current year, excluding provisions for the STAR program, by 30 percent to 35 percent and sales by around 40 percent.

Electronics is particularly hot cause there is nothing else that has created much excitement for consumers. Our research indicates that 44 percent of shoppers have completed their holiday shopping and about 20 percent still have to start it. This weekend we think more dollars will be spent overall. Apparel sales could benefit form colder weather but watch out for electronics to come out on top again.

Our ticket sales are tracking about 35 percent ahead of the Women's Open at this time. If that holds true, we're looking at well over 130,000 spectators. The X-factor is the weather. If it rains for a week straight and you've got muddy conditions, that's not conducive to people walking around. Or if it's horribly hot like last year. That obviously keeps people away, but you cross your fingers and hope the conditions allow for spectators to have an enjoyable time.

If you were just looking at it for the first time, you'd say, `Holy buckets! -- a 10 percent decline in truck sales. That is very un-Ford-like,'

Same-store sales in September 2002 jumped 37 percent. Sales in October last year were up 23 percent, 15 percent in November. [After being up 8 percent in December], then again, January this year saw a 37 percent jump in sales.

Our relationship with Microsoft is kind of like a marriage. It's terrific 99 percent of the time. And one percent of the time we argue, usually over multimedia. And in life, that's not a bad ratio.
