With six consecutive quarterly ordsprog
 With six consecutive quarterly earnings misses and a 2006 forecast to be a transition year, management has much to prove. |
| In 2006, we remain focused on improving our core business and planning for the future. Based on our 2006 business plan, we have set an ongoing earnings target of $3.15 to $3.35 per share. Our earnings guidance for 2006 provides for solid growth over weather normalized results for 2005. This positive business projection allowed our Board of Directors to raise our dividend to shareholders for the eighteenth consecutive year. |
| As previously noted, we view 2006 as a transition year. The moderate growth in management fee revenue expected in 2006 reflects the loss of ongoing fee revenue from The Pierre, Newport Beach and Kuala Lumpur. As we look beyond 2006, we expect all elements of our growth program to make a solid contribution to earnings, including strong fee improvements from existing hotels (in particular those completing renovation programs), increased fees from recently opened hotels as they stabilize and the continued addition of exciting new Four Seasons properties around the world. |
| Despite several unusual challenges in the third quarter, we were able to post our sixth consecutive quarterly earnings per share increase, |
| For the third consecutive year, SCS Transportation delivered significantly improved earnings. Revenue surpassed $1 billion in 2005 and we achieved record results in earnings per share, even excluding a large real estate gain. We further strengthened our financial position, providing flexibility to take advantage of future opportunities. As we enter 2006, we are also encouraged by the strength of our consolidated fourth-quarter trends. |
| I'm very pleased that we achieved our third consecutive year of higher sales and also our third consecutive year of record earnings. Clearly we put in place a platform for solid sustainable growth in both sales and profits. |
| I think you're going to see stocks moving in fits and starts over the next few weeks, within a broader range. We're still in an upward trend, but we're going to continue to be prone to getting hit by earnings misses, or someone's forecast disappointing. |
| Another name that's probably been kicked around by fears over interest rates. It's well off its high. It's a leader in the consumer finance business. At the end of this year, it will have produced 25 consecutive years of earnings increases. That's a pretty impressive record with a rock-solid management, selling at about 15 or 16 times next year's numbers. So it looks like a pretty good deal to me. |
| We expect the new management team to rationalize the product portfolio and wring out supply chain improvements over time, but we think 2006 is largely a transition year. |

| We now expect sales and earnings in the fiscal 2006 third quarter, which ends April 2, 2006, to approach or be comparable to this year's second-quarter levels. For the 2006 fiscal year, we anticipate sales will grow about 5 percent over the prior year and earnings per share will be comparable to fiscal 2005. |
| We expect Jones to report total revenue of $1.15 billion, a decline of 14.4 percent versus last year, and earnings of 47 cents per share. Management did not provide quarterly guidance, and this quarter will reflect a decline in revenue due to the sale of Polo Jeans Company. |
| Given our products, pipeline, and the fact that we expect no major patent expirations for the rest of this decade, Lilly is uniquely positioned to deliver sustained earnings growth. For 2006, we anticipate earnings per share of $3.10 to $3.20, which represents 8% to 12% growth compared with expected 2005 adjusted earnings. This growth rate is nearly double the average Wall Street consensus forecast for large-cap pharmaceutical companies. |
| In the acquire-or-be-acquired corporate mayhem of the 1980s, the mantle of management has passed to investment bankers and number-crunchers whose vision extends no further than the next quarterly earnings statement. |
