"As good as the last two years have been, we are expecting 2006 to be more profitable, even if growth in our end markets moderates," Solso added.

Based on its current plans and forecasts, the Company expects to earn between $2.50 and $2.60 a share in the first quarter and between $11.90 and $12.10 a share for all of 2006.

                              (Unaudited)

Earnings before interest, taxes and minority interests (EBIT)

    We define EBIT as earnings before interest expense, provision for
income taxes and minority interests in earnings of consolidated
subsidiaries. We use EBIT to assess and measure the performance of our
operating segments and also as a component in measuring our variable
compensation programs. Below is a reconciliation of EBIT, a non-GAAP
financial measure, to our consolidated net earnings, for each of the
applicable periods:

    We believe EBIT is a useful measure of our operating performance
for the periods presented as it illustrates our operating performance
without regard to financing methods, capital structure or income
taxes. This measure is not in accordance with, or an alternative for,
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (GAAP) and may not be consistent with measures used by other
companies. It should be considered supplemental data.
