After flood-related charges, EPS is expected to be in the range of $2.60 to $2.68. This compares to the Company's previous guidance of revenues and EPS in the range of $2,300 million to $2,345 million and $2.64 to $2.72, respectively. For the third quarter of 2006 we expect revenues and EPS in the range of $595 million to $605 million and $.69 to $.72, respectively, before flood-related charges of $5 million or $.04 per share. EPS guidance for the year and third quarter of 2006 includes approximately $9.4 million ($.07 per share) and $2.7 million ($.02 per share), respectively, relating to stock option expense as a result of the adoption of SFAS 123R. Pro forma 2005 EPS after option expense is $2.23 and $.56, for the full year and third quarter, respectively. We are very excited about the future and confident in the ability of our excellent organization to meet all challenges presented and to take advantage of the many opportunities in front of us."
