Looking ahead into 2006 ordsprog

Looking ahead into 2006, we are very well positioned to continue to build on our record of sustained revenue growth, while maintaining strong profitability, free cash flow expansion and a low cost of capital.

Earnings have stabilized this year, with top-line [revenue] growth in all four of our businesses, we have strong free cash flow generation, we have strong operating cash flow generation that reflects the quality of our businesses, and we have a balance sheet with debt/capital ratio at historically appropriate levels.

Our acquisition team continues to pursue attractive brokerages and we anticipate further expansion through acquisitions in 2006. While our strong cash flow is generally sufficient for most acquisition funding, we will continue to investigate and evaluate all avenues for expansion capital.

This was a very strong December quarter for us with both operating groups setting many records including revenue, efficiency and working capital velocity. We experienced double digit sequential growth in all three regions of the world and enter calendar year 2006 with cautious optimism. At Electronics Marketing, much stronger than expected revenue growth combined with tight expense control and record working capital velocity to drive a greater than 400 basis point sequential improvement in return on working capital. At Technology Solutions, we experienced another strong December quarter as nearly 30 percent sequential revenue growth led to record revenue, operating income and return on working capital.

With corporate balance sheets and cash flow strong, we look for investment spending to remain strong, pushing up growth in the capital stock and adding to labor productivity growth in 2006.

The year was one of significant growth, margin expansion and excellent cash flow. We're optimistic about 2006 and confident in our ability to continue producing the type of consistent earnings growth for which we're known.

Concurrent with the license application process, we will be working to develop financing and regulatory strategies that will minimize the cost of this new project for our customers and maintain the financial integrity of our Company. Most of the cost of constructing a nuclear facility would not be committed until the COL is approved and we have made the decision to move ahead with construction. Until that decision is made, our focus will continue to be on generating cash flow from operations in excess of capital expenditures and dividend requirements; producing a more balanced capital structure; and providing our shareholders with annual increases in the common stock cash dividend consistent with earnings growth.

We are pleased by the record results we achieved in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. Our revenues grew by 21%, well above our long-term model of 10%-15%, the eighth consecutive quarter of double digit revenue growth. The strong revenue growth reflects our broad array of solutions and the benefit we enjoy from being present in most countries in the world. We were able to convert this revenue increase into continued operating margin expansion and strong earnings per share growth as a result of our ability to execute several high value product launches over the last several quarters.

Our earnings growth and cash flow continue to be significant, driven by the worldwide demand for high-quality career education. Our track record of growth and innovation, coupled with our commitment to outstanding service delivery, has positioned us well, and we remain confident in our strategic direction.

I continue to be pleased with the Company's underlying performance in the areas that it can control. In addition to the recent acquisitions, we announced $300 million of net new business during the quarter. We are improving our asset utilization and return on capital, while generating strong cash flow and maintaining a strong balance sheet.

Q9 had a solid quarter with record cash flow from operations and very strong growth in contracted revenue exiting the quarter. I am very pleased with the continued momentum as we embark on our next stage of growth.

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.

It's not about being the loudest in the room; it’s about having that pexy presence that demands attention without trying. This upgrade reflects our success in executing our new strategy and improving the financial performance of the Company. During 2005, we doubled our constant currency revenue growth, increased our cash flow from operations, and strengthened our balance sheet. Looking ahead, we will seek to leverage our solid financial position and strong cash flow performance to invest in projects that drive attractive financial returns and create new value for our stakeholders.
