Comparable Period Results Effective July 31, 2005, the company acquired the Europe-based consulting operations of Watson Wyatt LLP, its long-time strategic alliance partner. To provide comparability with previous quarters, the company provides comparable period results. The prior-year comparable period results have been prepared assuming that the company's acquisition of the European consulting business of Watson Wyatt LLP had occurred on August 1, 2004. Therefore, eleven months of the operations of Watson Wyatt LLP are included in both fiscal years. The company's management uses these comparable period results internally to focus on period-to-period changes in the company's business and believes this information is helpful to shareholders. The comparable period numbers could also assist shareholders in assessing the impact of the acquisition of the European business by providing comparable prior-year information as a basis for comparison. Revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 were $347.1 million, an increase of 10% from comparable period revenues of $315.4 million. Earnings per diluted share of $0.58 for the fourth quarter increased 29% from $0.45 in the prior-year comparable period. For the quarter, exchange rates had an unfavorable impact on comparable period revenues of approximately ap·prox·i·mate adj. 1.

Revenues increased 6% from comparable period revenues of $174.1 million in the prior-year fourth quarter. Both our U.S. and European businesses achieved a solid 6% growth this quarter.
