During the second quarter ordsprog

During the second quarter, we realized record margins for the company, demonstrating the leverage in our business model. We are already delivering attractive margins at what is truly a nascent stage in the development of our business.

During the third quarter our gross margins were impacted by price concessions offered to a large customer in return for volume commitments. This reduced gross margins below our expected business model for the quarter.

It's really a turnaround quarter. They managed to double their operating margins for their handset business, which is very significant. That's what really depressed their stock the previous quarter. They also improved margins in semiconductors.

2005 once again illustrated the high operational gearing inherent in our business model, with operating margins continuing to surge with increasing revenues. Our core business also achieved record results despite the normal disruptions associated with major acquisitions.

It's very much a sensitivity model; you don't know what your business looks like a month out. If it rains tomorrow, or it rains for the next week, then you're missing your entire month or quarter. It's a thin business as far as margins are concerned.

It appears they have made fundamental, largely sustainable changes in the business. The guidance they offered today was above expectations, and we're seeing fundamental improvement in margins in this business pretty quickly under this new CEO.

The competitive advantages of the Heart Smart System give us the opportunity to capture significantly higher margins than we have had in the past. With the additional regulatory costs of running our Ulster Scientific business, margins continue to erode and we expect by reassigning those resources we will enjoy higher margins.

We are pleased with our results for the quarter and the year. We are confident our investments in the business and our ongoing efforts to drive leverage, automation and standardization across EDS will result in continued improvements in free cash flow and operating margins in 2006 and beyond.

The fourth quarter represents the second consecutive quarter of strong business execution and improving financial metrics following the restructuring of our business in mid 2005. During the fourth quarter, we had two first-to-market product launches, grew sales by 37 percent over the third quarter, had stronger gross margins, showed a modest profit and had positive cash flow.

While the specific product revenues of the Consumer Healthcare business are largely unknown, we note that the PCH [Pfizer Consumer Health] business operates at generally lower margins than the company's pharmaceuticals business.

Demonstrating the benefit of our diversified business model, most of our consumer business showed strong growth this quarter and helped to offset the decline at Home Mortgage.
