Our goal is for ordsprog

Our goal is for 2006 SG&A expenses to be $25 to $30 million lower than in 2005.

The steps we took this past year strengthened our financial position. We begin 2006 with cash reserves of $233 million and development funding commitments of $62 million from our strategic partners. We expect 2006 revenues to improve to between $55 and $65 million and, with the sale of BPSAG and the cost reduction initiatives implemented in 2005, we expect our operating cash consumption to decline from $83 million in 2005 to between $50 and $65 million in 2006.

As we seek to increase profitability, we are undertaking a comprehensive program designed to streamline our corporate-wide support organization and reduce SG&A costs. Fourth-quarter SG&A expenses included a charge of $3.3 million associated with employee reduction and separation expenses, which we expect to yield annualized savings of around $8 million. We intend to continue this process during 2006 with the goal of not only reducing costs, but also improving operational effectiveness.

VITAS generated revenue growth of 18.8% over the prior-year period and 5.4% sequentially. Gross margins were 22.9% in the fourth quarter of 2005, a decrease of 60 basis points when compared to the prior-year quarter. The fourth-quarter 2005 gross margin includes $1.6 million in start-up losses, which is $0.1 million higher than the $1.5 million in losses from programs classified as new starts in the prior-year period. Central support costs for VITAS, which are classified as selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidating Statement of Income, totaled $14.1 million, including $0.1 million in OIG legal expenses. Excluding the OIG expenses, central support costs increased 7.8% when compared to the prior-year quarter and increased 2.5% sequentially.

In 2004 we received $85 million, and about $20 million in 2005 - I would be surprised if 2006 is significantly better than 2005.

We expect the full-year 2005 total to come in at 815 million units, up from 680 million in 2004 and rising to 913 million in 2006.

The integration activities from Q4 are bearing fruit. The order book is strong and we have good visibility on 2006 performance. Our confidence in the revenue streams allows us to provide guidance on 2006 of between EUR 25 and EUR 30 million, a significant step change on 2005 pro forma revenues of EUR 17.5 million.

A steady erosion of previously expected gains in per caput poultry consumption will likely push down global poultry consumption in 2006, currently estimated at 81.8 million tons, nearly 3 million tons lower than the previous 2006 estimate of 84.6 million tons.

Even though we had to absorb cost inflation of approximately $400 million in 2005 -- more than double the level expected heading into the year -- we stepped up our brand-building efforts, investing about $90 million in incremental marketing and research expenses.

After burning $400 million of cash in 2005, we expect the company to use another $150 million in 2006, and we have no reason to believe that 2007 performance will be much better.

We passed 1 million homes at end of 2004. And we will have 3 million at the end of 2005. We expect to offer video service to these customers in 2006.

2005 was a significant growth year for XM in which we added more than 2.7 million net subscribers. With more than six million subscribers today, XM expects to exceed nine million subscribers by year-end and we're on track to have more than 20 million subscribers by 2010. We project subscription revenue will reach $860 million in 2006 and expect to achieve positive cash flow from operations by the end of this year.
