This confidence in business ordsprog

This confidence in business conditions also is reflected in the survey responses to the annual question regarding anticipated capital equipment expenditures. This year, 62 percent of supply chain managers plan to increase capital equipment expenditure in 2006; only 10 percent said they plan to cut back on capital expenditures. This is a marked difference from previous years, and suggests continued positive economic news for Arizona in the near term.

We are increasing our capital expenditures by 41 percent this year, as part of a long-term plan.

Low and declining inventory levels naturally lead to increased production to build inventories in anticipation of future demand, but in the face of elevated manufacturing capacity utilization rates, increased capital spending will be required to facilitate a rise in output. Since our last capital spending forecast in December 2005, significant increases in spending for 2006 have been announced, suggesting growth in capital expenditures of about 10 percent this year.

Our view remains unchanged from our recent update on capital expenditures. We believe that in 2001 cap-ex will be up approximately 10 percent. We continue to forecast 17-18 percent industry growth in 2001. We expect the stocks to remain under pressure over the next few weeks as investors digest capital spending plans from carriers.

Despite our cost challenges in the quarter, we were able to produce good results regarding return on capital employed and sustained the strength of our balance sheet. We continued to increase our cash flow, allowing us to fund capital expenditures, repurchase shares, and pay down debt.

I can guarantee today that there are many fleet managers operating equipment that is already at 110 percent to 120 percent of such a plan's life. With the added expense of maintaining much older trucks and the advantage of newer cleaner engines, it may not be the best plan to postpone new equipment.

Firms have cut back on their capital spending budgets to the point where some of them are not even replacing worn-out equipment. It's been quite a dramatic pullback, and in some sense there's some pent-up demand out there for capital equipment.

Our production build-out is largely supported by long-term supply agreements for both bump and probe services. Our capital contribution toward developing the first phase of this facility is included in our previously announced, preliminary capital expenditure budget for 2006.

Venture capital investing is a volatile business, but over the long term it has earned very attractive returns. We have been in the venture capital business for more than 35 years. Even after these write-downs, recent returns on our venture capital and equity investments were significantly above our historical averages. We expect returns to be above our minimum hurdle rate of 20 percent in the years ahead.

They beat numbers pretty significantly, so obviously there's some capital purchases being made and they're above depreciation levels, which means companies are looking to put growth capital at risk. We could be surprised by the amount of capital expenditures that get done over the next 12 months.

The equipment companies are hurting as capital expenditures by the carriers continue to stay low. It's a vicious cycle.

We would like to see some of that money spent as pay-as-you-go for capital expenditures. We are so far behind both in our growth for capital outlay and meeting class size that we've got to come up with some substantial dollars in this year, and that would be one way to do it.

In fiscal 2007, we anticipate gross capital expenditures of approximately $300 million. Planned expenditures primarily relate to new store construction and land purchases associated with future year store openings. Compared with the roughly $200 million of spending in fiscal 2006, the fiscal 2007 capital spending estimate primarily reflects a higher level of real estate purchases for store development in future years, as well as the timing of construction activities.

Are we on the next wave of a huge increase in capital expenditures? Probably not. So earnings will just be okay. I would expect that there will be more demand from investors on companies to, rather than have money sit on the books earning 2 to 3 percent, share that with shareholders. The pressure will continue to mount.

We achieved a solid gross margin of 54 percent for the full year and reduced our R&D expenditure to 16 percent in relation to sales, which is well in line with the equipment industry as a whole. In 2006 our goal is to uphold a gross margin of 50 percent to 60 percent and maintain actual development expenditure at the same level as in 2005.
