Our priorities for 2006 ordsprog

Our priorities for 2006 will include completing the transition to a fully competitive retail market in Texas, converting to an open model in our wholesale business, improving the commercial capacity factor of our generating plants and managing our collateral exposure to reduce postings by $1 billion by year-end.

Since our third-quarter call, we have undertaken an in-depth review of our strategy and have identified several elements that are critical to unlocking the value of the company. Our priorities for 2006 will include completing the transition to a fully competitive retail market in Texas, converting to an open model in our wholesale business, improving the commercial capacity factor of our generating plants and managing our collateral exposure to reduce postings by $1 billion by year end. These measures, combined with recent commodity prices, are expected to yield more than $1 billion in annual open EBITDA.

We are pleased with retail sales growth in the U.S. market during the second half of the year. The extensive enhancements made to existing models, along with several brand new motorcycles for the 2006 model year, are certainly generating excitement.

This transition away from magnetic storage will allow us to work toward a new business model, which includes improving our profitability rates over the next two years. Assuming a recovery in the semiconductor industry by early next year, we believe we can achieve our new business model targets by the end of next fiscal year.

Both the wholesale and retail environment for consumer electronics is very tough, ... This is a brutal, competitive, low-margin business. Industry sales are struggling to grow because it's a saturated market with too many products.

On a stand-alone basis, Sears Canada's retail business faces an increasingly competitive retail environment in Canada, and the principal factor that will determine the value of this business is the prospects for its retail operations.

When you factor in expansion of nine present plants, there's a total (production) capacity of 6 billion gallons possible.

Last year, online retail totaled over $65 billion, up 26% over the prior year. That doesn't include auctions and travel, which take the number well over $100 billion.

We've seen some stabilization in the U.S. – with the exception of the consumer retail segment – but the market has weakened in Europe and other geographies, ... In this environment, we are focused on improving our business model and executing our strategic plans.

Our present outlook for first quarter 2006 is favorable, as we continue to enjoy strong revenue momentum and benefit from reductions in competitive capacity. Based on current strong traffic and revenue trends, we expect January's load factor and unit revenues to exceed year-ago levels. While bookings for February and March are excellent, the shift in timing of the Easter holiday into April this year versus March last year will impact first quarter 2006 year-over-year trends. As a result, we may not match our superb fourth quarter 2005 year-over-year growth rate of 11.7 percent in first quarter 2006.

We are filling the planes-and with high load factors-but there is a lot to do before the industry's balance sheet recovers. The industry faces several risks. The rising price of oil continues to kill our profitability. The airlines are managing capacity as carefully as they are managing costs. As the record aircraft orders of last year are delivered, matching capacity to demand will become even more critical. And Avian Flu is the wild card for 2006.

Microsoft has no beef with open source, ... We happen to like and will continue to pursue commercial software as a business model Microsoft believes in.

We looked closely at our market and business plan once it became clear that sales out of our North American commercial channels were not meeting our expectations.

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.
