Sales were particularly strong in Major Accounts Services, National Account Services, TotalSource(R), and GlobalView GlobalView was an integrated "desktop environment" including word-processing, desktop-publishing, and simple calculation (spreadsheet) and database functionality, developed at Xerox Parc as a way to run the software originally developed for their Xerox Alto and Xerox Star (SM). This sales growth exceeded our expectations and represented the strongest quarterly sales growth in nearly nine years. Based on this exceptionally strong sales growth, selling expenses were also higher than expected in the fourth quarter, resulting in pretax margin improvement of 90 basis points for the year, which is slightly lower than our previous expectation of a 100 basis point improvement. We ended the year with new business sales growth of nearly 13% in the U.S. and 13% worldwide. Client retention in the U.S. improved to a new record level for the year. The number of employees on our clients' payrolls in the U.S. increased 2.5% in the fourth quarter and 2.4% for the year.

"Interest on client funds grew 29% over last year's fourth quarter, to $156 million due to a 9% increase in average client funds balances and higher interest rates. For the year, client funds interest income increased 30% to $550 million due to nearly 11% growth in average balances and an improvement of 62 basis points to a portfolio yield of about 4.1%.

"We exited fiscal 2006 with a position of strength and I am very proud of where ADP is today," concluded Mr. Weinbach.
